InstaQueer Roundup: Biblical Thirst Trapping & Sapphic Swimsuit Issue History
Timothy Rawles READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Welcome to our latest round-up of queer celebs who served, and those who came together to maximize their joint slay. This week: A super gay joint slay thirst trap of (literally) Biblical proportions; out lesbian Lauren Chan makes Swimsuit Issue history; designer Rich Mnisi serves Pure Honey in a breathtaking gold corset look.
We loved the rich queer history present in Eugene Lee Yang's Gold Gala outfit; out "Andor" actor Varada Sethu served gorgeousness in a stunning, commotion-worthy dress; "Overcompensating" star and creator, Benito Skinner, celebrates his show releasing with a uniquely-JFK fashion moment; Gigi Goode serves fashion babe with her friends and queer family at a Jeremy Scott event; and Vivian Wilson, new face of WILDFANG, had her name spelled out in 40-foot braided hair in the campaign pics –that's fashion, baby! Let's dive into all the good, gay gold!
"Where's Judas?" We're honestly kinda speechless at the divine (as in, delicious, holy, and heavenly hot!) gay thirst in this reimagining of the last supper. A magnificent and sexy religious experience featuring so many of our favorite thirst trappers... Blessed.
"Breaking molds, setting standards–on her own terms." Model, activist, and entrepreneur Lauren Chan is the first out lesbian on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue, and she looks so good. We love a sexy sapphic history moment!
South African designer Rich Mnisi served "pure honey" icon status in this gold corset outfit. It's giving fashionista dipped in gold, especially paired with the gold jewelry bandaid across the bridge of his nose!
Eugene Lee Yang's Gold Gala fit... Stunning. Majestic. Truly something to behold. The out celeb described his look as a way to honor the AAPI community's "rich history of gender expression, sexuality, and eroticism in a cross-cultural collaboration that pays homage to Leslie Cheung and "Farewell My Concubine," reminding us that "there is immeasurable beauty, tragedy, and joy in the long tradition of queer Asian art."
Out British "Andor" and "Doctor Who" actor Varada Sethu could not have served any harder in this marine-inspired dress –which she calls her "fishy dress of DREAMS" and is entirely worthy of all the commotion she's asking for in the caption.
Comedian Benito Skinner celebrated his new queer comedy "Overcompensating" with a party and JFK on his tie, noting in the caption that "I know JFK would've wanted to be on a gay guy's tie for the premiere of his college sex comedy."
Fashion designer Gigi Goode had "an amazing night filled with love, laughter and family," which included Symone and Rylie Holden –the trio in deeply slayful, wildly unforgettable outfits– at a fabulous event celebrating fashion designer Jeremy Scott.
Vivian Wilson modeled for apparel company WILDFANG with 40-feet of blonde hair extensions braided and positioned to spell out her name, "going from wearing WILDFANG to modelling for them." A huge slay! We love all the opportunities she's getting to really be the moment she was clearly born to shine in.
