Cast members of “Drag Race Philippines” Season 1 received cheers from local fans for their outfits at a convention in the United Kingdom.

The drag conference is a massive event where drag queens and other celebrities come together to meet and interact with their fans.

This year, Precious, Corazon and Prince joined over a hundred drag queens from franchises of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” at the exhibition center called ExCel London from January 6 to 8.

They also made an impact on the audience as they walked on the prestigious “pink runway” for their entrance.

Her fan account “Team Precious” uploaded a video and a photo of her Precious’ moments on the pink carpet.

The Bicolana performer wore different ensembles for her meet-and-greets. Both of which were inspired by Filipino fictional superheroines “Darna” and “ZsaZsa Zaturnnah”.

Designer Mara Chua uploaded behind-the-scenes footage of how she created Precious’ Darna costume.

“Had the honor of making our version of the iconic #darna for Kween @preciouspaulame who is making history as one of three Pinay queens in #dragconUK #dragconuk2023. Our version draws heavily from the #Darnaverse illustrations of Ian Sta Maria,” Chua wrote in the caption.

Precious also got the chance to show off her talent at the star-studded after-party show in front of an international audience.

She performed her winning number “Sirena” by Gloc 9 and another Filipino hit single, “Tala” by Sarah Geronimo.

On Instagram, Prince wore a dress made of abaca with blood-like details on it and on her horned head accessory.

She also carried a bloodied foot that resembled the footwear she wore during her “DRPH” Season 1 runway.

“F**k the shoes, bloody hell! @rupaulsdragcon Day 1. Feels really good to strut the iconic pink carpet!” Prince said.

“Wearing a custom structured draped Abaca Silk (from Kalibo Aklan) dress by @ehrranmontoya,” she added.
