There was no way the Divine Divas were missing the "Barbie" premiere!

According to a report by Aubrey Carampel, the drag queens graced the event in Pasay wearing Barbiecore outfits. Precious Paula Nicole, Viñas DeLuxe, and Brigiding took turns performing for their fellow Barbie fans.

"Pero syempre patago, patago kami dati," Precious said. "Kasi 'yung mga Ate namin 'yung mga Barbies. Captain Barbie muna, paunti-unti."

"Barbie," directed by Greta Gerwig, opened in Philippine cinemas on Wednesday.
