A drag queen insists used fashion can still be fabulous - like the £40 pink boots she wears for her shows. Cherry Allen, 19, loves to buy pre-loved clothes and hopes others will follow her lead by swapping high street for second-hand.
The transgender woman from Nottingham said buying vintage and secondhand is a great way to save money, particularly during the cost of living crisis. But it doesn’t have to mean compromising on style.
Many pieces are bought for her drag queen performances which she has been doing since she was 16. Cherry shares her outfit ideas on her Instagram page and followers are often surprised by the bargains they can snap up.
