Leiomy Maldonado is an icon and you should know her. This New York City native is a trans dancer, actress, model, and activist who came up in the infamous New York City ballroom scene. She belonged to the House of Amazon and has also been known as Leiomy Amazon. She became one of the first trans models to enjoy major campaigns including a series of Nike commercials and has been called The Wonder Woman of Vogue due to her amazing work in the dance troupe Vogue Evolution. She certainly does know how to vogue as she first real found herself in the ballroom scene. She is an Afro-Puerto Rican babe from the Bronx who popularized a move called the Leiomy Lollipop which is when you flip your hair in such a specific way. You've definitely seen other people do it - they are copying off of this queen! You may have seen her in Pose (2021) as Florida, but she also choreographed several numbers on the FX series. Leiomy pays homage to her time in the ball room scene by judging on an episode of the HBO Max competition show Legendary. She walks the runway in her introduction in a cropped corset that shows off her cleavage as she bounces down the runway. This girl knows how to walk! She wears high heels that show off her sleek legs. She looks long, lean, and mean in the hottest way possible. Leiomy is here to prove to everyone that SHE is the legend.
