Your favorite drag queen’s favorite drag queen on your favorite artist’s favorite artist

The red carpet felt more sophisticated than it has in years

Maybe you’ve seen Chappell Roan dressed as the Statue of Liberty, emerging from an apple (the big one, naturally) at New York’s Governors Ball. Or maybe you’ve caught footage of her at the Kentuckiana Pride festival, dressed in homage to the legendary drag queen Divine, waist nipped and eyebrows arched nearly to her hairline.
