Hundreds of drag guests put on a colourful display as they attended day two of RuPaul’s DragCon UK at Olympia, London today.
From skyscraper silver heels and dazzling jewels, to purple wigs and stand-out fascinators, drag artists from across the country certainly brightened up an otherwise grisly day in their bright, bold attire.
The convention, presented by World Of Wonder, offers fans the chance to meet the entire cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, along with some of their favourite queens from the US – along with the ultimate Squirrel Friend, Michelle Visage.
Amongst the much-loved faces include the likes of Alexis Mateo, Baga Chipz, Bianca Del Rio, Divina De Campo, and Cheryl Hole.

However, it comes after furious fans branded the convention a ‘shambles’ after being forced to queue for hours outside the venue amid reports the event was overbooked on day one, which took place yesterday.
Those attending the event took to social media to share their anger after waiting to enter convention for up to four hours while the iconic star, 59, was meeting fans inside.
Some attendees claimed they had requested refunds due to the length of the queue but revealed that they have been told that none would be given.
An event spokesman told MailOnline entrances were closed off temporarily over health and safety concerns.

One person who attempted to attend the event claimed it was a ‘s*** show’, and said: ‘DragCON – absolutely shambles. It had been completely oversold – easily a thousand people outside not being let in.
They continued by saying they saw tearful children breakdown while standing in the queue, adding: ‘It won’t affect me losing £100 on a ticket but there were kids in the queue in tears who had these bought for them for Christmas.
‘#LGBTQ+ teenagers who had saved up for tickets left completely devastated.’
The post also suggested that exasperated staff struggled to deal with the volume of crowds and others were too afraid to come and confront the angry ticket payers.
They said: ‘People had been queuing for 4 hours+. Event organisers too scared to come outside. Staff on the doors nearly in tears because they were so fed up. ‘Absolute s*** show’.
Others took to Twitter to express their outrage, with one tagging the event to make sure the organisers knew about the situation occurring outside.
They said: ‘So we’ve been told that nobody has been let in for 2 hours because the venue is at maximum capacity! We’ve been told no refunds, doesn’t look like we’ll get let in today! Where’s out RUfund? #DragConUK.’
