In a vibrant celebration of drag art, Vogue magazine invited eight influential figures from the movement to showcase their transformative skills before the lens. Guided by the masterful artistry of beauty artist Henrique Martins, the editorial, titled “Tela Viva” and featured in the June/July edition, captures the essence of drag’s captivating artistry.
Drag, a form of performance art that often involves elaborate costuming, makeup, and hairstyling, has long been a source of inspiration for the beauty world. Its bold use of color, volume, texture, and contouring techniques has pushed creative boundaries and redefined beauty standards.
The Vogue editorial, “Tela Viva,” beautifully captures this spirit of artistic expression. Each drag queen, with their unique style and signature looks, embodies the transformative power of drag and its ability to challenge traditional notions of beauty. The editorial serves as a powerful homage to the creativity and artistry of the drag community, highlighting its influence on the world of beauty and beyond.
