Similar to when Lady Gaga peeled back the layers of her 2019 Met Gala Look, Lil Nas X wore three looks for the grand occasion. For the first look, he went regal and wore a golden cape with ornate detailed beading. After dropping the cape, he then revealed look number two, a golden suit of armor ala C3PO. For the grand finale, he sashayed down the carpet in a bedazzled bodysuit in Versace’s iconic print. The singer described his look to Vogue as a “coming out of his shell” like he did when he first burst onto the music scene.īrazilian supermodel Valentina Sampaio stunned in Iris Van Herpen on the red carpet and with her advocacy off the carpet.Una Guía Para La Inclusión LGBTQ en Medios de Entretenimiento.Guía para una Cobertura Objetiva de Personas y Temas Transgénero.


It’s about exaggeration and I plan to be very exaggerated. And so it feels like a lot of pressure to represent my community in such a visible and loud way. VC: There are so many drag queens out there that would slay the Met Gala and deserve this exposure and visibility. And course drag is at its peak right now as far as mainstream exposure visibility so it kind of was a natural pairing and it worked out perfectly that I’m lucky enough to be relevant in a time when their having this as the theme.ĭo you feel any pressure as one of the first drag queens and gender nonconforming individuals to walk such an esteemed carpet? Reading through the entire essay I couldn’t help but relate all of it back to drag. “Notes on ‘Camp’” talks a lot about homosexuality and androgyny and performance and a false seriousness, nit-picking the trivial things and making them funny. VC: I almost feel like they chose this theme as an excuse to invite drag queens. Speaking of Sontag’s essay, how do you interpret Camp through the lens of the Met Gala-and why do you think drag fits so perfectly given the theme? what about it?” And that’s when he invited me. VC: When I heard the theme I had thought ‘Oh my gosh, this is the perfect theme for me, perfect theme for drag, perfect theme for queer people,’ especially after reading Susan Sontag’s “ Notes on ‘Camp.’” And I was at my house one day and Jeremy texted me and was like, ‘Hey, where are you? I wanted to talk to you about the Met.’ And once I got that text I just lost all of my shit. How did you find out that Jeremy wanted you to attend as his date, a big honor considering you’d be following in the footsteps of Cardi B, who attended as Jeremy’s +1 last year? And then I closed Moschino’s Resort 2019 collection in Los Angeles and did an aerial number. Funny enough, the gown I’m wearing is actually from that show It’s actually the gown that walked out right before me in the show. And I ended up closing that show with Oslo Grace. Athen he asked me at his party in Miami at Art Basel to walk in Moschino's Fall 2018 menswear and women's Pre-Fall show. And then I went to a couple of his shows in New York. We saw one another on the red carpet, told him that I was a huge fan of his work for a long time and we just kinda exchanged contacts, hung out a little bit. Violet Chachki: I met Jeremy at the VMAs in 2015, the same year that I had won Drag Race. GARAGE : How did your relationship with Jeremy first begin?
