Blu Hydrangea shared the sweetest snap of herself and her boyfriend and told fans that they were celebrating six years together.
The 24-year-old drag queen, who starred in the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, and became known for her shady comebacks and snarky observations, told fans, “6 years ago, this guy took me by the hand and brought me on this incredible adventure!”

Six years ago Blu would have been 18, but that didn’t stop fans wondering whether the pair were actually in high school when they met!
Fans couldn’t get over how young Blu looked in the 2014 picture, with one saying, “Jesus you two look you’d barely started high school! Great skin obvs helps! Happy anniversary”
And another added, “literally floored by how tiny u r in the first pic. y’all r so cute”
Blu Hydrangea is already known to be one talented and shady queen from her time on season one of Drag Race UK, but her new Tik Tok video takes the shade up another level after she flawlessly reenacts that famous reading from The Vivienne to Divina DeCampo about her red hair and silver dress.
Blu uses one of the most ferocious takedowns in the entire series where The Vivienne says to Divina,
“To be 100% honest with yer, now that I’ve seen you here, you are twenty times the drag queen you are in the outside world.
“Because in the last 10 years I’ve seen Divina in a red wig and a silver dress.
To which Divina comes back with, “Bullsh*t, a red wig and a silver dress? I don’t think”.
Blu Hydrangea shows just how epicly savage she can be!
That entire scene is now reacted in glorious Tik Tok fashion with Blu miming along, applying perfect makeup wearing a red wig and silver dress.
