Plastique appeared on “Drag Race” season 11 and “All Stars 9,” in addition to amassing a huge social media following with TikTok transformation videos.
RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 and All Stars 9 queen Plastique Tiara — who blazed a trail for drag artists on social media thanks to her consistently viral transformation TikTok videos — has announced that she’s engaged to be married.
The Vietnamese beauty shared a sweet Instagram post Sunday morning revealing the news, writing, “Baby boy, this is serious” in the post’s caption, and sharing several photos of her fiancé proposing to her.
In one of the images, Plastique embraces her fiancé, with her shimmering ring resting on his shoulder. In another, a photographer captured the moment Plastique’s partner got down on one knee to propose in the middle of a foggy field, with rose petals under their feet.
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Plastique for more information.
Several of Plastique’s Drag Race sisters congratulated her in the comments section of the post. “Congrats, baby!” wrote season 8 finalist Kim Chi, with other celebratory messages coming from Drag Race Thailand host Pangina Heals, season 13’s Denali, season 8 and 9’s Cynthia Lee Fontaine, season 16 winner Nymphia Wind, and season 17 star Arrietty.
“So precious,” replied Nymphia, while longtime Drag Race judge Michelle Visage commented with an all-caps message: “CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!!”
In addition to serving fashion-forward looks on the Drag Race runway across season 11 (on which she placed 8th) and All Stars 9 (where she tied for 4th place), Plastique has amassed cross-demographic appeal with nearly 4 million followers on Instagram and 12 million on TikTok.
She also connected with Drag Race audiences back in season 11 through her story of immigrating from Vietnam to the United States.
“The world is moving into a place where being good on social media is such an important skill to have,” Plastique previously told EW in response to queens pushing back against newer performers with social media prowess. “That’s your LinkedIn. They’re looking at the numbers. I came on a season where being a social media queen was dubbed as bad because you don’t know how to perform. A true queen knows how to perform, of course. But the world is moving to a place where you really don’t have to perform anymore. You could just DJ, do deals, and transitions all day long. Drag is changing, so get with it or get out.”
