Joe Jonas is debuting his drag persona.
In a video shared via TikTok on Thursday, January 16, Jonas, 35, showed himself dressed in drag. In the six-second clip, the Jonas Brothers star sported a full face of makeup, a layered bob wig, and a black satin low-cut dress. He lip synced over a popular TikTok sound bite, which said, “I’m going roller skating, don’t touch my stuff!”
In the caption, Jonas simply wrote, “💅.”
Fans of the Jonas Brothers flocked to the comments section of his video to share their reactions to Jonas’ new look. “I’m obsessed with this I can’t explain it,” one fan wrote, while another said, “this is ✨real✨ this is ✨me✨.”
NY-based influencer Haley Kalil was also in Jonas’ comments section, writing, “We know this diva,” while another fan inquired, “Why do you kinda look like Patti Lupone.” Another commenter also compared Jonas to actress Selma Blair, writing, “Tell me why I thought this was Selma Blair 😂😂.”

Jonas did not elaborate on why, exactly, he was dressed in drag — or reveal his potential (please, tell Us it exists!) drag name. However, he was recently spotted in Toronto, Canada, on the set of brother Nick Jonas’s upcoming holiday movie starring wife Priyanka Chopra, per TMZ on Tuesday, January 14. While not much is known about the new flick, it is reported to be a project for Disney+.
Jonas’ life has changed significantly over the past few years. In September 2023, he filed for divorce from now-ex wife Sophie Turner, with whom he shares two daughters: Willa, 4, and Delphine, 2. His second solo album, Music For People Who Believe In Love, dropped in October 2024. In an interview with Billboard earlier that year, Jonas spoke about the process of creating his latest project, calling it both “scary” and “freeing” post-divorce.
“I’m a happy person, and the music needed to resemble that — but also, the journey to get here,” he told the outlet in August 2024. “I was going through a lot of life changes, finding out who I was as a person and father and friend, and living under the microscope of what the music industry can be. And I think, at such a crazy time in my life, I looked to music as an outlet.”

Jonas and Turner were married for four years before news broke of their split in September 2023. The former couple previously welcomed daughter Willa in 2020 and another baby girl in 2022, […]
He clarified that while the album is personal, he wasn’t planning on tearing anyone apart in the process. “I’m not trying to come for anyone on this album,” he said. “I’m not trying to put stuff on blast.”
Jonas and Tuner were married for four years before news broke of their split in 2023. Jonas filed for divorce, calling their relationship “irretrievably broken.” After several courtroom battles over custody of their kids, the pair announced their decision to split custody in October 2023.
“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K.,” Jonas and Turner told Us Weekly in a joint statement at the time. “We look forward to being great coparents.”
