All the sickening looks 'Drag Race Philippines 2' queens served at the show's exclusive watch party

The category is Shimmering Summer Realness!

Published Aug 3, 2023 05:17 pm
After months of waiting, the sophomore season of “Drag Race Philippines” is upon us. This year, the workroom is once again filled with Filipino drag artists hailed from different parts of the nation. But before we see their take on the Snatch Game, do makeovers, and served heated dramas on the show (pass the popcorn, please), the latest batch of drag contenders brought their style A-game during the show’s exclusive watch party held at the Xylo in Bonifacio Global City. From glimmering Filipino-made ensembles to the campiest looks, the queens presented their take on the Shimmering Summer Realness theme. Arizona Brandy (Photo courtesy of HBO GO)
