Filipino drag queen Eva Le Queen is set to make history as the Philippines’ representative in the inaugural season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars”.
Announced on Tuesday, July 16, Le Queen joins 11 other international drag superstars from around the world competing for the coveted title.
Known for her stunning visuals and powerful performances, Eva aims to showcase the beauty and artistry of Filipino drag on a global stage. In a teaser clip, she described her drag aesthetic as “breathtaking”, emphasizing her use of body art, wigs, and makeup to tell compelling stories.
Beyond her personal artistry, Eva is passionate about uplifting her fellow drag queens and making drag a more sustainable career path in the Philippines. “On top of being a performer, I also create platforms and opportunities for my sisters. My dream is to elevate Filipino drag as a viable profession for artists,” Eva shared.
She emphasized her goal of representing not only Filipinos but also Asians on the global stage. “It’s time for Asian drag excellence to be in the Hall of Fame. I’m representing the Philippines but also Asia in general,” she added.
“I know that what I am going to show is a culmination of beauty, artistry, and culture from our part of the world, now brought to the global stage,” Eva stated.
Eva previously competed in “Drag Race Philippines” season 1, where she placed in the Top 4. She follows in the footsteps of Marina Summers, another “Drag Race Philippines” alumna who competed in “Drag Race UK vs The World”.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race: Global All Stars” premieres on Aug. 16 on Paramount Plus.
