Precious Paula Nicole wears an indigenous-inspired outfit on DragCon UK's pink runway.
Precious Paula Nicole proudly represented the Philippines as she walked on the pink red carpet of this year's DragCon UK held this weekend in ExCel London.
The first-ever Drag Race Philippines superstar wore a glamorous indigenous-inspired Filipiniana dress during the Queens Walk.
Precious Paula Nicole further showed her roots by performing Gloc-9's “Sirena” and Sarah Geronimo's “Tala” on stage.
Likewise, her booth at the DragCon also screamed Filipino as its design was inspired by a local sari-sari store.
Aside from Precious, Filipino drag queens such as Corazon and Prince were also at the DragCon.

The event was also attended by Drag Race winners from USA, Holland, France, Canada, Spain, and Australia.
In an interview with GMANetwork.com recently, Precious was still in shock after winning the first season of Drag Race Philippines in October 2022.
“Hindi pa rin nagsi-sink in talaga, promise. Hindi pa rin talaga pumapasok sa akin na tapos na siya [Drag Race PH] at ang dami nang nakapanood.”
Precious also mentioned that she's not yet used to the attention she's been getting because of the gained popularity of drag queens in the Philippines.
"Honestly, hanggang ngayon nagugulat pa ako kapag may magpapa-picture sa akin sa mall kasi hindi ko talaga ini-expect na ganun kalaki at ganun kalawak ang masasakop ng Drag Race Philippines.”
She added, “Overwhelming siya at saka hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang nangyari 'yon. Pero nakakataba rin ng puso.”
Precious also expressed her gratitude because this definitely opened more doors for drag queens like her.
“Mas marami na tayong opportunities to perform, mga gigs, at mas marami na rin ang mga taong naniniwala sa talent ko," she said.
After this event, Precious will be busy preparing for her first major concert with fellow drag queens Brigiding and Viñas DeLuxe.
“Magre-rehearse, mag-aaral ng bagong songs, magpapagawa ng bagong costumes… Maraming-maraming preparations kaya dapat manood kayo!”
Dubbed as Divine Divas Live, the concert promises to be an ultimate drag experience, which will be held at the New Frontier Theater in Cubao, Quezon City, on February 10. It is a collaboration project of Ice Seguerra and Liza Diño's Fire and Ice production company and Sylvia Sanchez's Nathan Studios.
