Belfast RuPaul contestant Blu Hydrangea's outfit inspired by Harland and Wolff cranes

Belfast drag Queen Blu Hydrangea proudly showcased two icons of her home city last night as she dressed up as the iconic Harland and Wolff cranes.

In the first episode of where contestants had to dress as Queen of their hometown, Blu pulled out all the stops representing Belfast in her Samson and Goliath inspired yellow outfit.

Sissying that walk, Blu introduced her outfit saying: "I'm representing Belfast. The Harland and Wolff cranes helped build the Titanic and also my dad and my grandad worked on them."

RuPaul's first episode UK

Ten Queens from across the UK are battling it out to be crowned Ru's UK drag superstar and our very own Blue Hydrangea is in it to win it.

Arriving on the show, Blu said: "When I got the call I was just shook but I was ready to get on my way and get prepared.

"What I'm expecting to see when I walk in the door is hopefully some ugly Queens.

"I'm bringing fierce looks and I'm going to win that crown."

RuPaul's UK drag race airs on BBC Three on iPlayer every Thursday at 8pm.
