Pinkchyu, the internet personality who shot to fame after winning Drake’s viral 20-versus-1 dating challenge, has surprised fans by revealing a dramatically different side of her appearance. Known online as the “Goth Baddie,” she typically embraces dark makeup, black clothing and a gothic aesthetic, but recently appeared almost completely makeup-free during a livestream with fellow creator N3on. While the two were filming a playful makeover segment, N3on transformed into a gothic character while Pinkchyu did the opposite, swapping her signature dark look for an all-pink outfit and a much more natural appearance. Pinkchyu later admitted in a comment that she “genuinely didn’t recognize” herself. She also shared a photo on X asking followers whether she should wear the natural look more often. Fans quickly responded with compliments, telling her that she looked beautiful either way and encouraging her to embrace whatever style made her comfortable.
The transformation comes as interest in Pinkchyu continues to grow following her headline-making appearance with Drake. During the livestream, she also accidentally revealed that she had recently turned 24 after previously keeping her age private. Her growing popularity has led fans to investigate her past, while her connection with Drake remains a subject of intense online curiosity. Pinkchyu previously said the pair did not hook up after the dating challenge, although they continued talking at the after-party. She has also claimed that Drake offered to buy her mother a house after she won the competition, telling her to find a property she liked. More recently, Pinkchyu appeared in Drake’s short film FOMO and remained coy when asked about their current relationship, saying her friends had advised her not to reveal too much. For now, her makeup-free transformation has given fans another reason to keep watching.
