The androgynous model French designer Jean Paul Gaultier called his "otherworldly beauty" is now an Elle cover girl.

Twenty-one-year-old Andrej Pejic is featured front and center on Serbian Elle's January cover, the Telegraph reports. The cross-dressing model is fitted head to toe in Gaultier and trades in his trademark platinum locks for a choppy black wig.

Inside the magazine, he wrestles with male and female versions of himself in a feature named "Victor Victoria." The female Pejic wears skimpy La Perla lingerie, while a more masculine side of Pejic looks aggressive in suits.
