The indomitable Cher is "down under" thrilling the gays in advance of her performance at Mardi Gras this weekend.

Adorned in orange hair - because why not? - Cher even met with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who welcomed her to the festivities tweeting, "Welcome to Sydney, Cher! @GladysB Lucy and I and all your fans thrilled to be with you at the 40th Mardi Gras & first since Australia achieved marriage equality."
