RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race contestant slays in Mileena Mortal Kombat cosplay Instagram: Asttina Mandella, NetherRealm StudiosCosplay and drag often go hand-in-hand, especially on the main stage of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race. The UK iteration of the show saw one queen transform herself into the iconic Mileena from Mortal Kombat. RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race is known for its insane fashion looks, colorful costumes and amazing performances. We\u2019ve seen queens wear everything from outfits made of trash to designer gowns from the likes of Marc Jacobs. One sector that also sees an amazing blend of costume art and performance, however, is the cosplay sector. We\u2019ve seen gender-bend style cosplays like this awesome take on Overwatch\u2019s Tracer make some serious waves. It was a bit of a shock to see one of the Drag Race UK queens stomping the runway as one of Mortal Kombat\u2019s most iconic characters, though, but this look was certainly a fatality. Asttina Mandella becomes Mileena East London\u2019s Asttina Mandella has already made quite the splash in the legendary TV show, and has so far assassinated the competition by snagging the first win of the season. As a part of the \u2018Surprise Surprise\u2019 runway segment, it\u2019s safe to say the queen deviated from her usual style. Stomping down the runway in Mileena\u2019s iconic pink cutout jumpsuit and mask, wielding the infamous femme fatale\u2019s iconic sai, Asttina was really embodying the deadly attractiveness of the character.
