Branson steps out in a skirt and red lipstick

 The man behind Virgin Atlantic ditched his usual getup over the weekend, in exchange for an AirAsia X stewardess uniform as he fulfilled a friendly wager with AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes.

Special flight, D7237 flying from Perth to Kuala Lumpur departed Australia Sunday morning, with Sir Richard Branson sporting shaved legs under a sexy AirAsia red skirt, blonde wig and a pair of heels.

As part of the deal, the entrepreneur spent the five and half hour flight pouring coffee and tea, serving meals, distributing goodies and making inflight announcements.

The rare-sighting was the consequence of losing a friendly Formula 1 bet to the AirAsia boss over two years ago.

“He is an entrepreneur, visionary, knight and adventurer – Sir Richard can now also add AirAsia flight attendant to his long list of credentials,” Mr Fernandes said.

“Sir Richard graduated as a member of the AirAsia cabin crew with flying colours and he performed all his in-flight duties with his usual good-humour and enthusiasm.”

Meanwhile, Branson said the experience was “fun” and an eye opener to what flight attendants “do every day to keep up safe”.

“I am also grateful to have had Tony, whom I lost the bet to, willingly help me out on the flight,” Branson explained. 

“I trust we kept the passengers well fed and amused.

“It was a lot of fun.”
