Welcome to our latest Instagram round-up of the queer celebs who served, and those who came together to maximize their joint slays!

This week: Doechii slays her Paper magazine photoshoot with six-pack prosthetics and a badass attitude; Troye Sivan and Charli xcx covered i-D magazine together ahead of their "Sweat" tour; Broadway stars and adorable boyfriends (until now!) Ben Platt and Noah Galvin shared their wedding photos with Vogue Magazine.

Paris Hilton threw a hot pink release party for her "Infinite Icon" album, complete with celebrity guests like Megan Thee Stallion joining her on stage; Gigi Goode dropped a line of ethereal, visionary dresses for the fashion girlies; drag icons Sapphira Cristál & Monét X Change performed their deliciously dramatic and groundbreaking union of opera and drag at Lincoln Center; and the dolls invaded Fire Island for some healing, hectic, "heavenly" trans fun!

Troye Sivan and Charli xcx modeled for i-D's cover ahead of their joint "Sweat" tour. The photoshoot showcases Charli in a bright pink lacy bra channeling foam party vibes, and a shirtless, more muscular, certainly bulked-up for tour Troye.

Doechii slayed this PAPER Magazine cover shoot, rocking six-pack prosthetics and transformative special effects make-up in this special-edition print issue celebrating PAPER's 40th anniversary. Fellow queer artists went wild for it in the comments, with Kerri Colby saying "Oh yes ma'am Sir", Lauren Jauregui saying "Insaaaaane😍🔥" and SZA very eloquently encapsulating our feelings on the deeply slayful photoshoot with: "EXACTLY!!!! EGGGSSUHFUCKINZAACCTLLYYY"


Out Broadway stars Ben Platt and Noah Galvin got married in Brooklyn, and celebrated all weekend long! The couple told Vogue magazine they were "overwhelmed with love, sweaty, and sobbing most of the time."


Megan Thee Stallion joined Paris Hilton on stage at her sparkling hot pink "Bad Bitch Academy" party, celebrating the It Girl heiress' new album, "Infinite Icon" which she says will "save pop music."


The gorgeous and talented Gigi Goode designed and created a range of visionary, ethereal and sensual It Girl garments, and modeled them for the announcement.


Now this is a joint slay on multiple levels! "Aural Confections" is a groundbreaking collaboration and showcase of queer talent, and fun! Opening night at Lincoln Center saw Sapphira Cristál & Monét X Change divinely and dramatically unite "the beauty of opera and the fabulosity of drag, paying homage to the queerness and gender expansion present in both" in their performance called "Soundcake: Aural Confections."


Writer and Doll Invasion organizer Fran Tirado is one of many angels who were photographed for this spotlight on the second annual trip —equal parts hectic, "Heavenly" and healing— that was the dolls "invading" Fire Island.
