Queen Of The Month: Manila Luzon

Queen Of The Month: Manila Luzon

March 2022

Manila Luzon is an international drag queen most famous for her campy twist on glamour, silly cross-eyed expressions, and signature black and blonde wigs. Her tongue-in-cheek style combines humorous themes with elegant fashion; from dresses inspired by cartoon characters to iconic gowns designed after her favorite foods.

Manila first competed on the third season of Emmy Award-winning, RuPaul’s Drag Race. Her creativity, style, and humor paved her way to the end where she finished second place and returned to RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars twice for season 1 and season 4. Manila did not walk away with the crown or cash prize; however, she won adoration from viewers across the world who call themselves “Fanilas”.

Leaving a sweet taste for more, Manila soon became a pop culture sensation with appearances in shows like General Hospital, How the Bitch Stole Christmas, The Mighty Ones, and is currently hosting her own reality competition show Drag Den Philippines streaming on WE TV.

After a decade of releasing music independently with popular songs like “Hot Couture”, “The Chop” and “Go Fish”, Manila Luzon has recently signed with Warner Music Philippines. Her first release under a major record label is the song “Drag Den” which also doubles as the theme song for her tv show Drag Den Philippines.

Manila partnered on global and domestic campaigns for “Maybelline”, Disney’s “Cruella” & “Mulan”, “Facebook”, “Jack Daniels”, “Bubly Bounce Water”, Universal’s “Trolls World Tour”, “Yahoo! Mobile”, “Amazon Prime”, “Orbitz”, “Absolut”, “Nine West”, & “The SM Store”.

It’s been quite a journey for Manila Luzon and she shows no sign of slowing down. Her lifestyle brand “Fineapple Couture” which sells a chic collection of attire, books, accessories, and fashion dolls.
