As of Monday, June 30, Plastique has officially become the most-followed Drag Race queen on Instagram with an audience of 4.32 million followers.
Even though Trixie is on the cusp of crossing 4.3 million followers, Plastique's huge social media momentum is already placing the Vietnamese queen and All Stars 9 competitor in the No. 1 spot with a comfortable lead.

In July 2024, Plastique became the second most-followed RuGirl on Instagram — briefly tying with Katya — as they both reached 2.7 million IG followers. While Trixie was still taking her notorious break for a few months in 2024, the All Stars 3 winner made herstory by crossing the 4-million mark of Instagram followers, becoming the first-ever Drag Race alum to do so.
It certainly felt inconceivable that any other queen — Plastique, Katya, or whoever else! — would catch up to Trixie in the near future, that notion was quickly challenged when Plastique increased her Instagram audience to 3 million fans in February 2025. Up until then, Trixie was the only RuGirl to cross the 3-million mark (and subsequent 4-million mark) of Instagram followers… But she wasn't sitting alone in that VIP any longer.
And just like that, it happened! In April 2025, Plastique crossed 4 million Instagram followers and got very close to surpassing Trixie. Two months later — and during last few days of Pride Month — Plastique is officially at the very top of this ranking.
RuPaul's Drag Race is available for streaming on Paramount+.
