Nikkie Tutorials Is The First Trans Woman To Feature On The Cover Of ‘The Knot’
July 26, 2022Nikkie Tutorials (Nikkie de Jager) is the first out trans woman to feature on the cover of The Knot magazine.
The YouTube beauty guru spoke about her upcoming wedding plans, her romantic proposal story, and how her soon-to-be husband Dylan held her hand while she came out as trans to the world in 2020.
Nikkie began her beauty influencer career on YouTube at age 14 and has gained nearly 14 million subscribers. She was forced to come out when blackmailers threatened to out her. Her response was to post a beautiful and moving video: “I’m Coming Out.” It was a brave moment and fortunately, as she told The Knot, Nikkie didn’t have to go through it alone.
“While my coming out was one of the scariest moments of my life, I had a couple of rocks surrounding me. And one of those people was Dylan. He was everything I hoped he would be for me in that period because he was super, super supportive. He was with me throughout every second. When I had to click publish on my coming-out video, it was a very scary moment, because you don’t know what the future will bring. He took my hand and looked me in the eyes and said, ‘You’re going to publish this. We’re going to be fine. You got this. Whatever happens happens, but know that we have each other and it’ll be just fine.’ When he said that I was like, ‘This man is never leaving me, and I’m never leaving this man.’ I thought, ‘That’s my person. He is mine until the end of time.”
Nikkie's wedding dress is being custom designed. “It’s going to be a lot of dress. It’s going to be shiny. It’s going to be glamorous.” Her makeup plans – she will be doing her own, of course. “Nobody can touch these brows like I do. It’s all going to be me.” And the food. “I think our theme is food. I might just pull up in a Lady Gaga meat dress. We love food so much, so of course, we have to give our guests the best of the best. I’m really excited for even our guests to see what we came up with,” she teased.
While it’s all no doubt going to be a glitz and glam affair perfectly suited to its bride, it’s also the kind of fairytale ending she deserves. We love to see it.
