LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Vivian Wil­son, the 21-year-old daugh­ter of Tes­la CEO Elon Musk and author Jus­tine Wil­son, made a pow­er­ful entrance into the world of drag on Fri­day, June 13, per­form­ing under the name Vivl­lain­ous dur­ing the SAVE HER! drag ben­e­fit at The Bell­wether in down­town Los Ange­les.

The per­for­mance was part of an envi­ron­men­tal­ly-themed, activist-dri­ven drag show­case spear­head­ed by cli­mate advo­cate and drag artist Pat­tie Gonia.

The event raised funds for legal defense efforts sup­port­ing immi­grants detained amid ongo­ing fed­er­al crack­downs in the city, reports TMZ.

Vivian Wilson ignites LA stage with fierce drag debut and trans pride flag

Vivian Wil­son took to the stage in a sleek black body­suit and translu­cent corset, deliv­er­ing a high-dra­ma lip-sync to JJ’s “Wast­ed Love”. In one elec­tri­fy­ing moment, she whipped her hip-length hair and lift­ed a trans­gen­der pride flag high above her head, draw­ing cheers from the ener­gized crowd

Vivian’s glam for the night was cour­tesy of fel­low drag artist Noxxia Datu­ra, who proud­ly shared her role in the trans­for­ma­tion on Insta­gram. “Paint­ed @vivllainous for her drag debut at the SAVE HER! show,” she wrote, with Vivian reply­ing, “Love you so much doll, ty for the faceeeee.”

Vivian was seen exe­cut­ing deep back­bends, hair flips, and drop­ping to her knees with dra­mat­ic flair. 

Vivian shared the stage with a dynam­ic line­up includ­ing Vera!, Nini Coco, Skirt Cocaine, Jacob Ostler, and Trudy Tec­tive. 

Vivian’s debut fol­lows recent head­lines about her grow­ing dis­tance from her father, Elon Musk. In a Teen Vogue cov­er sto­ry ear­li­er this year, she described the split in per­son­al terms, explain­ing that while her moth­er, Jus­tine, sup­port­ed her tran­si­tion in 2020, her rela­tion­ship with Musk has since grown strained.

She was very sup­port­ive of my tran­si­tion,” Vivian said of her mom. “She is a pub­lished writer of super­nat­ur­al romance fic­tion, which is where I get all my Vivian-isms.”

Speak­ing to Teen Vogue, the mod­el opened up about the con­trast in her par­ents’ reac­tions, shar­ing that her mom stood by her, while her father, Tes­la CEO Elon Musk, didn’t offer the same sup­port. “Hon­est­ly, we hadn’t spo­ken in months,” she said. “First of all, I had not talked to him in months — in months — so I had to get f*****g parental con­sent to get testos­terone block­ers and (hor­mone replace­ment ther­a­py).”
