Queer influencer Quen Blackwell is sparkling and spectacular in this deeply slayful birthday photoshoot to celebrate her 24th birthday. "This year, I become the human chandelier–an emblem of light, luxury, and artistry," she writes in the caption. "A chandelier commands attention, not just for its brilliance but for the way it transforms a space, leaving everything beneath it shimmering." She's certainly off to a magnificent start of the year she's dedicated to being "illuminating," and we can't wait to see where it all leads.
Lucy Dacus, who just dropped a music video starring pansexual actress Havana Rose Liu as the museum security guard whose queer fantasy comes to life when Lucy literally steps out of a painting, and debuted her new single "Ankles" on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, is serving sainthood and timeless beauty with a modern twist in the newly unveiled cover for her upcoming album, Forever Is A Feeling.
Queer musician Halsey celebrating five years of their album Manic by sharing this clip from the music video of their song "You Should be Sad" is a really special moment. In addition to the incredible musical and creative achievements, we'd also like to celebrate how good they looked in this empowering, daring music video. Rocking this black bikini cowboy fit while dancing and belting out their song about reclaiming their body and life after breaking up with someone who sucks... We love to see it!
Black Peppa is stunning in this black velvet, pearl-and-crystal-embellished outfit. And it is an OUTFIT! This full look, from the sparkling headpiece right down to the flared base of the skirt, encases the drag queen in this very elegant, chic-but-showstopping moment. There's no doubt they stopped traffic at DragCon in the UK, which is where they wore this sophisticated and glamorous look.
Former Arsenal player and out queer woman, Alex Scott, was inducted into the Barclays Women's Super League Hall of Fame. We love that her girlfriend, "Rather Be" singer Jess Glynne proudly commented: "That's my woman!!!!!!!!!!❤️"
