About

Nikita Nguyen (born January 31, 1996), known professionally as Nikita Dragun, is an American internet personality, YouTuber, make-up artist, and model.

Nguyen was born on January 31, 1996 in Belgium and raised in Springfield, Virginia, United States.
She is of Vietnamese and Mexican descent. She is a trans woman and began her gender transition while in college, choosing the name Nikita based on the television series of the same name.

Nguyen joined YouTube in February 2013. She stated, “I started to get little brand deals around that time… That was also when I decided to start taking Instagram and YouTube seriously.” She later relocated to Los Angeles, where, in 2015, she came out as transgender. As of May 2023, she has 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube, 9 million followers on Instagram, and 14.5 million followers on TikTok.
In response to comments by L Brands chief marketing officer Ed Razek that trans women should not be included in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show because “the show is a fantasy”, Nguyen tweeted a video of herself modeling lingerie. In the tweet, Nguyen argues that trans women were indeed able to convey fantasy.
