We Spent Brussels Pride With Drag Queen Alvilda

Have you ever wondered what a day at Brussels Pride looks like for a drag queen? Well, we’ve got you covered! We spent the day of Pride with the winner of ‘Drag Race Belgium’ season two: Alvilda.

Even though Pride is a vibrant celebration, it’s important to remember we are honoring the journey toward equality and the ongoing struggle for rights and acceptance. Today, Pride represents more than just parades and festivities; it embodies resilience, unity, and visibility. Pride is a reminder of the progress made since the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history, and the challenges that remain.

Getting ready with NYX Professional Makeup

Alvilda’s pride

“I‘m slow with makeup; I like to take my time!” Alvilda told us when we met early at Hotel Fleur de Ville to get ready. You can’t rush perfection! Some of the products from NYX Professional Makeup that Alvilda used are a Epic Ink Liner, the Ultimate Queen Shadow Palette 40 Pan, the Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Contour Concealer, the Highlight and Contour Pro Palette, and the Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer.

For her first look, Alvilda opted for a creation made by Belgian designer Tom Van Der Borght. “I feel very powerful in this outfit,” Alvilda tells us. The look has a backpack with “I’m not a monster” written across it, which is a very fitting message for Pride. She finished off the look with the Steve Madden Vamper sandal in black satin.
