Nicolas Sturniolo is going viral for his glamorous drag transformation, with fans getting a look at the social media star completely transformed by RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Plastique Tiara.

Plastique first teased the transformation on 28 August, sharing photos of Nick in full drag in “Pamela” from the Supernaturale collection by Plastique Beauty. The photos were posted ahead of the latest episode of Plastique’s Beauty Bar, where she gave Nick his drag makeover.

Nick – the “gay triplet” of social media stars the Sturnioli Triplets – then shared his own photos from the experience on 29 August, thanking Plastique for “turning me out” and creating a “safe and fun space” for him to embrace the transformation.

“Thank you, you turnedddd me out and created such a safe and fun space for a baddie to thrive!” Nick wrote, encouraging his followers to check out the new episode.

Later that day, Plastique gave followers the full before-and-after reveal, captioning a video of Nick’s transformation: “From Nicolas to Nicole.”

From the makeup and hair to the dramatic styling, Nick emerges as a full-on drag bombshell, showing off just how much can change when you’re in the hands of a drag queen who knows exactly what she’s doing.

The makeover is part of Plastique’s Beauty Bar, a YouTube series where she brings guests into the world of drag and beauty to totally transform them, and Nick clearly had a blast stepping into it himself.

The pair’s photos and transformation video have quickly attracted plenty of attention online, with fans getting a rare glimpse at Nick embracing an entirely different look and persona.

Nicolas walked in. Nicole walked out.
