The Wildest Real Housewives Confessional Looks

Photo credit: Bravo/YouTube

Over the years, Real Housewives confessional looks have become something of an art form. A confessional look can perfectly encapsulate a Housewife’s personality and signature style. Sometimes, these outfits are good, sometimes they’re bad, and other times, they leave us as stunned as an epically shady read.

One thing’s for sure, the looks have come a long way since the days of sky tops and bootcut jeans. As more and more ladies aim for high fashion, we’re looking at the wildest Real Housewives confessional looks of all time.

Jen Shah, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

If Jen Shah really wanted people to think the only thing she was guilty of was being Shah-mazing, then why did she dress like a cartoon villain character? Let’s not forget when she showed up to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion dressed like Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove. This particular confessional outfit also includes her favorite accessories—giant fake jewels, unnecessary gloves, and silly hats. All three of which are, for some reason, very trendy in Real Housewives confessional looks.

We could make a whole list just of Jen’s most ridiculous outfits, like this bedazzled velour turtleneck dress with shoulder pads, tinsel, and built-in gloves.

Mary Cosby, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

What were we just saying about silly hats and giant costume jewelry? Mary Cosby loves to insult her co-stars’ style choices. But considering how wacky—and not in a good way—her own outfits are, maybe she shouldn’t be so throw stones in glass houses.

Meredith Marks, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Of course, RHOSLC is home to many wild fashions. Just look at the costumes they wear during the dinners from hell, or Angie K’s devotion to those giant sunglasses, or any of the ridiculous outfits Meredith Marks puts on. Meredith might have Jen and Mary beat for the most bizarre confessional style…and that really says a lot.

Marlo Hampton, Real Housewives of Atlanta

Need another episode of Marlo’s Fashion Review. #RHOA #RealityTV #Hayu

On it’s own, this black cut-out top is actually pretty tame for Marlo Hampton. But if you didn’t even notice the top, we don’t blame you. This confessional look from Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 obviously made the list because of the door knocker hoop earrings. They almost distracted us from her incredible Marlo’s Fashion Review of the other ladies’ outfits, where she dubbed them a “bootleg girl group.”

Sheree Whitfield, Real Housewives of Atlanta

@IamSheree/X

If this were an Elvira Halloween costume, we would praise this wild Shereé Whitfield RHOA confessional look. But it’s not, so instead…let’s just say we’re not surprised at her fashion line’s infamously bumpy road. Kudos to Sheree for being willing to poke fun at this fashion faux pas.

Karen Huger, Real Housewives of Potomac

The Grand Dame of Potomac is never subtle, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. This outfit, like many Karen Huger looks, perfectly reflects her over-the-top personality. This fairy godmother-esque gown is the best version of that cartoonish vibe that Jen Shah aims for. And Karen has certainly rocked some Disney villain inspired ensembles in her confessionals as well.

Gizelle Bryant, Real Housewives of Potomac

@adrianasmojito/X

There’s a reason Real Housewives of Potomac fans still quote Karen’s unrelenting takedown of Gizelle Bryant‘s fashion sense (or lack thereof). On the one hand, we appreciate that Gizelle’s always taking risks. On the other hand, we agree with Candiace Dillard Bassett that someone should’ve stopped her.

Erika Jayne, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

A self-proclaimed showman, Erika Jayne‘s consistently OTT outfits definitely contributed to the wilder shift in Real Housewives confessional looks. We might have this ensemble, one of Erika’s most memorable looks ever, to thank (or blame) for the popularity of silly hats and gloves. It was straight off the runway from Moschino, back when Erika spent thousands of dollars on glam alone. Whether or not this look was worth the price tag…we’ll let you be the judge.

Dorit Kemsley, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Erika’s on-again/off-again frenemy Dorit Kemsley is also her rival in wildest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills confessional looks. Both ladies also love to flaunt their designer duds, though, to paraphrase another Real Housewife, even big-name designers make mistakes.

It’s hard for us to pick just one bizarre Dorit confessional look, but this bright yellow Versace top stands out for obvious reasons. And of course Dorit included a matching Versace scarf within one of her many elaborate updos. Plus the giant Versace label earrings. No one has ever accused her of being subtle!

Chanel Ayan, Real Housewives of Dubai

The Real Housewives of Dubai cast consistently rocked elaborate ballgowns in their confessional looks. Judging by this sneak peek from Chanel Ayan, they’ll only up the ante in the forthcoming Season 2.

Tiannah, Real Housewives of Lagos

Reddit called it, a new bar has been set for wildest Real Housewives confessional looks. Odds on Erika Jayne attempting to recreate this outfit next season?

Everything to Know About Meri Brown’s New Boyfriend

MERI BROWN
TLC/YouTube

Meri Brown has been single for pretty much the last ten years. However, it wasn’t until recently that she dropped the dead weight that was her husband, Kody Brown. Even though Meri was the first official wife of the patriarch, the Sister Wives star was never treated with kindness or put on the golden pedestal like she had hoped to be. But a little less than a year after officially leaving Kody behind for the greener pastures of Utah, Meri has been struck by Cupid’s arrow. Find out about Meri Brown’s new boyfriend.

 What Happened With Meri and Kody?

Meri Brown/Instagram

At the end of January 2023, Meri finally found her dignity and left Kody and his tantrums behind once and for all. The duo released a joint social media statement. “In light of a recent unapproved press release, we feel compelled to share our own truth, in our own way, and in our own timing. After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship.” There was more, but fans started to tune out because the breakup had been a long time coming. 

The couple was legally married from 1990 to 2014 when Meri selflessly divorced her husband so he could marry his fourth and favorite wife, Robyn Brown. There had been red flags along the road, including an emotional affair and a catfishing scandal. The last few seasons of Sister Wives showed the couple growing apart. Kody clearly didn’t want to work at fixing it. 

Meri Tried To Keep Her Marriage

Meri Brown/Instagram

Season 18 showed Meri actively trying to prove to Kody that she still loved him. Meri often stuck around as a third wheel, trying to prove that Kody could trust her again. She spent holidays with the family and often took Kody’s side. But no matter what she did, she was still considered an outcast. But after she noticed he was no longer wearing her ring, she knew the end was inevitable. Kody shared in a confessional that he didn’t consider Meri his wife, and wouldn’t be offended if she decided to move on with another man.

Meri in Love

Meri Brown/Instagram

Now, Kody’s statement is being tested since Meri has found love again. The mother of one revealed to fans on her Instagram that she was dating a man named Amos. Meri shared that he was “the good-looking guy I’ve been dating since October!” I mean, someone had to fall in love with her filtered selfies in the end. In a weird brag, Meri gushed, “He’s not 6 foot 6, nor is he a pilot, but he loves Christmas almost as much as I do, and we laugh a lot together, both of which are important elements of a relationship!”

It seems Meri has “worthied up” sharing, “I’ve been keeping this kind of close to me as we’ve been enjoying the last few months of dating and getting to know each other. As I’ve considered when and how I wanted to share this fun news and share him with the world (jk, not really sharing, I’m keeping him to myself ?), I knew I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a special way and let you celebrate this with me!”

Meri Rings in 53

Meri Brown/Instagram

Meri announced this exciting news on her 53 birthday, and I’m willing to bet Kody couldn’t help but be miffed. She shared a photo of her and Amos smiling side by side. The two have been going on a few adventures, including hiking on a snowy mountain and walking Meri’s dog, Zona. It doesn’t look like Amos is a Mormon or a polygamist, so Meri is already picking a better partner. 

Amos looks to be a nice dude, but so did Kody, so I’m not getting my hopes up just yet. However, if TLC were to jump on this news and start filming Season 19, I wouldn’t be opposed to watching her love journey in the new season in a few months. I hope Meri reveals more about her new relationship, but right now, I can only think about wanting a Famous Amos Cookie.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK MERI IS HAPPY WITH HER NEW LIFE?

Southern Charm Season 9 Reunion, Part 2 Recap: Time To Move On

Southern Charm Season 9 reunion Part 2 recap
Photo by: Clifton Prescod/Bravo

Part 1 of the Southern Charm Season 9 reunion aired last week and it was a dumpster fire. During the first segment, viewers learned that Olivia hooked up with Thomas – total ew. Shep came clean about his issues with drinking. And while vulnerable asked for help from his two best friends, Craig and Austen. Taylor tried to cleanse herself with holy water, but Olivia was having none of it, making sure to tear her down every chance she got. The reunion is set to conclude as the season newcomers Rod and Rodrigo join the group on the tense but velvety couch. Here’s what went down in the Southern Charm Season 9 Reunion, Part 2.

Silence is golden

The reunion picked up after Taylor outed Olivia for her one-night stand with Thomas as the entire cast needed a commercial break. While rushing off stage, viewers could hear Olivia call her backstabbing frienemy a “c***.” Not surprisingly, Shep ran right to his ex’s side to comfort her by telling her, “Look, I know exactly how you feel, but you look really shook. But you’re taking a page out of my book last season, and it’s working.” I mean, how is it that Shep can literally make anything about him?

Evidently, “silence is golden.” Yet I do not see Taylor staying that quiet. As if she heard me thinking this, Taylor clapped back, “Not that I need to be coached up on anything, but thank you.” Kitty has claws. Olivia is seething backstage as she can’t quite grasp why Taylor is bringing things up from the past. Um, because she literally is a bad friend who only looks out for her own well-being, that’s why! 

The Charmers are not impressed

At least Shep is saying what we all are thinking, like how did Austen become the player player who drives wedges between people? Taylor is once again crying backstage as she is finally realizing she won’t be salvaging the friendship. More importantly, Craig and Austen both agree that bringing up T-Rav was not helpful what so over if she hoped to fix anything with Austen admitting the move “was so stupid.” That might be the first smart thing he said all season. 

Did Austen get a hall pass?

Southern Charm Season 9 reunion Part 2

One of the number one questions asked of Olivia was why it looked like Austen had gotten off scot-free when we all know it takes two to tango. The blonde understood why people would think this sharing, “especially after watching everything back.” 

Olivia clarified her stance, saying that after talking to Taylor, “I’ve been pulling away because we had so many conversations that were going wrong. She was lying to my face. I felt it. And Austen stepped in at a time when I was very vulnerable and broken.” Of course, Olivia was referencing the tragic loss of her brother, with Austen having gone through the same grief after losing his sister. 

Andy was quick to hold Olivia’s feet to the coals, reminding her that “Austen also lied too.” Gobsmacked for a multisecond, Olivia noted, “Yeah, that’s true, and I do understand who it looks like I gave him a hall pass. But I really tried with Taylor, and it didn’t get me anywhere.”

Rodrigo had some neck issues

While Olivia was explaining her side of the story, newbie Rodrigo, who I almost forgot was even on the show, made some dramatic head and eye rolls. It became clear that Olivia expected more from her former best friend as she explained she was thinking about Taylor and recognized she, too, had a hard year. But sadly, Taylor “wasn’t thinking about” her. Rodrigo  spoke up in Taylor’s defense, sharing, “I don’t think that’s true.”

Olivia clearly didn’t care as Rodrigo continued saying, “I mean Olivia, I know you don’t care. The problem is I’ve watched her throughout the season, saying she was sorry. She f*cked up. And you keep saying, ‘I’m not trying to kick her when she’s down,’ but girl, I’m watching you do it all the time. Shots fired, Rodrigo! Where was this Rodrigo the entire season? A little too late now.

As she should have, Olivia calmly told him to “shut up” as she moved on with her explanation while Rodrigo, in his most gentleman-like voice, told her to “f*ck off.” Class act right there. 

The Charmers are ready to move on

The second part of the Southern Charm reunion showed Austen revealing he and Shep haven’t spoken in a while. The 43-year-old shared, “I hate that I don’t talk to you,” with Austen noting he thought they needed a break. But there is hope, as the Trop Hop founder revealed, “I always will want to move forward with the friendship. I don’t even know what that world looks like to not be great buds with you.”

Even Olivia shared her peace, telling Taylor, “I will not be friends with you, but I’m not going to make this miserable for you; I’m not going to be negative. We can move forward; that doesn’t necessarily mean together.” And hell must have frozen over as JT and Austen even had a chat about the exorcism. Until next time, Charleston.

Southern Charm Season 9 airs Thursday at 9/8c on Bravo

Love Is Blind Producers Accused of ‘Trying to Ruin’ Contestant’s Life

Love Is Blind

Another day, another story about the Love Is Blind producers being alleged nightmares to deal with. At this point, it’s surprising they can even find people who want to be on this show. But of course, there are two sides to every story.

We’ve heard allegations of cast members being underfed and overserved. Some participants claimed the producers deprived them of basic needs like sleep and water. Cast members have come forward with allegations of sexual assault. It’s been a mess.

The producers responded that the wellbeing of their cast members is “paramount,” but one former contestant says they are trying to ruin her life, even after filming wrapped. Radar Online reported the details.

Love Is Blind producers accused of being a reality TV nightmare

Former Love is Blind participant, Renee Poche, sued the show’s creators and producers, Delirium TV. She alleged that they matched her with a dangerous partner named Carter Wall. New court documents outline just how messed up this situation was.

In Renee’s filing, she claimed that her match was on drugs, violent, and broke. That’s like an unholy trinity of red flags. So, why would they match her with him?

According to Renee, things went south when they went to Mexico together. She said production forced them to stay in a hotel room together for up to 22 hours a day. With each passing day, Carter allegedly grew increasingly unhinged. She said he spent his time getting drunk, not sleeping, and berating her on and off camera.

Renee said, “In Mexico, I became extremely stressed about this, as I was stuck in a hotel room with him and unable to leave. We were told that cameras were always watching us and that alarms would sound if we opened the door to our room.”

Renee claimed that she repeatedly went to production about her mental state. Their response? She said they told her to just “enjoy paradise.”

Then, Carter threatened to harm a camera operator. They ended up quitting their job because they didn’t feel safe. However, they still expected Renee to shack up with this guy for some reason.

Punished for speaking out

Ultimately, Carter left the show. Netflix said they would just delete the footage of him and Renee. Although their story didn’t make it to TV, Renee obviously felt compelled to share he story. She went on a few podcasts, and Netflix didn’t like that. They’re suing her for $4 million, claiming that she violated her NDA.

“I was utterly astonished when, on November 1, 2023, Delirium initiated arbitration against me. I feel that Delirium is trying to ruin my life and punish me for telling the truth about the unsafe working conditions I saw and experienced and the dangerous lies I had been fed. Delirium alleges that I am liable for $4,000,000 in liquidated damages for breach of the Agreement.”

Renee is hopeful that the courts will find Netflix’s NDA unenforceable. She wants them to drop the multi-million dollar fine and get paid damages for the traumatizing experience.

Meanwhile, Season 6 of Love is Blind is set to premiere on Netflix on February 14. Hopefully, with zero producer controversy.

TELL US – DO YOU RENEE WILL WIN HER CASE? DOES THIS MAKE YOU FEEL LESS INTERESTED IN SEASON 6 OF LOVE IS BLIND?

The Traitors Season 2 Episode 4 Recap: Don’t Come For the Housewives

The Traitors Season 2 Episode 4 recap
Photo by: Euan Cherry/Peacock

Reality TV’s most riveting competition game show, The Traitors is back for another season, and the first three episodes were so captivating we couldn’t wait to get back here to talk about Episode 4. 

In case you need a refresher, 21 reality TV stars and celebrities entered Alan Cumming’s Scotland castle to embark on a journey full of schemes, backstabbing, and murder. In the end, the winner(s) could take home their share of up to $250,000 if they can evade being killed or banished from the game.  

So far, we’ve lost Johnny Bananas, Larsa’s boyfriend Marcus, Drag Race star Peppermint, and Dancing with the Stars veteran Maks. At the end of Episode 3, instead of murdering someone in private like usual, the Traitors’ new challenge was to murder someone in plain sight. Who do you think received the poisonous chalice? Was it Larsa, MJ, or Shereé? And who do you think was sent home in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 4? Read on to find out. 

Who was poisoned in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 4?

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu drank from the poison chalice and is the third celebrity to be murdered in The Traitors Season 2. 

Episode 4 picked up immediately where we left off. The Traitors were tasked with murdering one of their castmates in plain sight by getting their target to drink out of their poisonous chalice. Initially, Parvati considered Shereé, but Phaedra’s plan is to protect her fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta co-star as long as possible.

Once Parvati realized her first choice was no longer an option, she went to another part of the castle with MJ, Janelle, Bergie, Trishelle, Ekin-Su, Pete, and Dan. The Survivor alum realized she had to make a movie quickly, and after surveying her options, she zeroed in on her target: the Love Island star, Ekin Su. 

Parvati slithered over to Ekin, who was going on about “f*cking” the Traitors up once the show wrapped, and cheered to her statement with her chalice. Ekin took a sip of Parvati’s poisonous wine, and just like that, she sealed her fate. However, Ekin and the rest of the cast, including the remaining Traitors, wouldn’t find out who fell victim to their schemes until the next day’s mission.

The mission leaves everybody in the castle confused

The Traitors Season 2, Episode 4 recap

The cast meets Alan (the show’s wildly entertaining host) outside the castle to prepare for the day’s mission — a funeral procession. 

The cast’s task was to correctly identify the poisoned player before they were buried by guessing the correct answer to clues along the way to the burial site. After each clue, a group of players will be deemed safe and are free to join the other safe players in the horse’s carriage. 

Only three cast members remained up for murder after a round of three clues: MJ, Parvati, and Ekin-Su. All three ladies entered an individual casket where their fellow Faithfuls and Traitors tossed a black rose in the casket of the person they believed was poisoned the night before. 

If they guessed the poisoned player correctly, $20,000 would be added to the grand prize. If the majority guess the wrong player, they get nothing. 

Before voting, the safe players agreed the person most likely to be murdered would be MJ since she’s been so outspoken regarding the Traitors. But to everybody’s surprise, despite receiving every safe cast member’s rose, MJ was not the murdered player, and Ekin-Su’s casket was buried in the Scottish grounds. 

This move confused the Faithfuls because Ekin-Su was likely the next celebrity to be banished from the castle. Why would they poison somebody that already had eyes on them? Although taking out Ekin-Su worked and fulfilled the Traitor’s mission, they weren’t all pleased with the choice. “That’s going to put a target on me like crazy because I voted for her last night, so they’ll think I killed her,” Phaedra told Dan and Parvati. 

But that could work perfectly for the CBS allies, who fear Phaedra could beat both of them in the end. “I don’t want to be the first to shoot,” Dan told Parvati in private, “but we gotta give them some blood,” to which Parvati replied, “Before it’s me or you?” 

Who is banished in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 4?

Larsa Pippen is the third celebrity to be banished from The Traitors Season 2, in Episode 4.

Before the cast met for the night’s roundtable discussion, where the majority would banish another celebrity, more names began floating around the castle. Larsa, who hung with the rest of the Bravo stars, had been trying to rally the women (and some men) to vote for the group’s strongest “alpha male.” After considering who was murdered so far, including Johnny Bananas and her boyfriend Marcus, Larsa’s gut told her it was between Dan and CT. Ultimately, she decided to target the Challenge vet and asked for the others to help her. 

On the other side of the castle, other cast members, including CT, Sandra, Janelle, and Kevin, felt somebody from the Real Housewives franchise had to be a Traitor, considering how much of a “clique” they are. 

Damn, CBS folks. Why can’t the Real Housewives and Bravo stars stick together? Did you ever consider that somebody in YOUR group could also be a Traitor? Perhaps two?! Either way, Parvati saw the perfect opportunity to plant her seed. She said being a Traitor would be ideal for a Housewife since their show is mostly a “performance” anyway. 

At the roundtable, Janelle went after Larsa first, accusing her of weird behavior when she raised a glass for Marcus after finding out he was murdered. “I toast to everyone. You’re telling me that’s weird?” Larsa asked. “I think you’re weird. I think how selfish you are is weird. You think I would ever murder my own boyfriend?”

A few others came for Larsa before she came for CT. “Do I think you’re the head of the snake? Yes,” Larsa said. “You are the head of the snake. When you stand over there, you will say that you’re a Traitor, my friend. You guys will all see.” 

However, Larsa’s attempt to shift the focus on CT didn’t work. Eventually, Parvati jumped into the conversation to accuse a specific group of people of murdering her castmates.

“The performance aspect [of this game] has been on my mind … but who has the capacity to perform this part? It’s actors, and I think Housewives as well. Because you guys get scripts; you produce…” before Larsa cut her off to say, “We don’t act, my friend. We live our life.” 

“Don’t come for the Housewives, honey,” Phaedra said. “We are not a game.” 

“The only person I’ve worked with in this room is Tamra and Shereé. Everyone else is a stranger. We are not killing anyone. So, don’t do the Housewives thing, honey. Don’t do that, Parvati.” 

Phaedra expressed her anger with Parvati for throwing her under the bus during her confessional. “I am livid with Parvati,” she said. “Because you’re bringing heat my way. I will not tolerate bad behavior [at] the roundtable.” 

“I don’t need this kind of heat on me.” 

Phaedra sets the record straight with Parvati and Dan 

The Traitors Season 2, Episode 4

Once the clock struck midnight and the Traitors could meet privately to discuss the day’s events, Phaedra immediately let Parvati have it. “That wasn’t cool,” she said.

“For you to go in there and try to throw me under the bus. When you do things like that, it brings attention to me. Like, ‘Oh, they work together, they’re on a show.’ I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ No one likes you, Parvati. Everyone says you’re a f*cking Traitor. We can be in this game together, but you’re going to play fair. And if you don’t, you ‘gon have more problems than a Faithful. I’m playing very fair with you, so don’t do that to me. Both of you.” 

Now that Dan and Parvati have set the plan in motion to frame Phaedra as a Traitor, we’ll have to wait to see if they are successful. Or will Phaedra use her persuasiveness to get her way? 

New episodes of The Traitors stream on Peacock on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Christina Applegate Watched RHONY While Preparing for ‘Overwhelming’ Emmys

Christina Applegate has long been a vocal fan of reality TV; that should come as no surprise to fans. She’s been an outspoken supporter of Bravo franchises like Below Deck and The Real Housewives of New York, along with several other Real Housewives franchises.

What may have come as a surprise was the actress’ appearance at the 2024 Emmy Award ceremony. When Christina was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, she chose to step further away from the public eye. As such, it was a pleasant surprise to see her at the Emmys – and not just see her, but hear her voice and watch her present an award.

When the audience gave her a standing ovation, she joked, “Oh my God, you’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up.” Despite the levity, it was a bit of a hard night for the star. So, how did she unwind? Well, one can only guess.

Christina uses some classic Bravo to take the edge off

Adir Abergel, Christina’s hairstylist, spoke with PEOPLE about how they prepared for the ceremony that night. “Getting ready for big events can be overwhelming,” he explained. “I focused on being present and enjoyed every moment together.”

Adir continued, “We were having fun! Christina and I have been friends for a long time and she is someone that I love deeply. Showing up for her on that night was very important to me.” He added, “We were chilling, laughing and watching Real Housewives of New York,” he says. “It was like catching up with my best friend.”

That only leaves the question of which season they were watching. Ultimately, he expressed just how proud he was of Christina considering all she’s given the public.

“I just think about the immense contributions she has given us throughout the years, and how she still gives so much! Her career, her work ethics inspire me deeply.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race Star Princess Poppy Reveals Why She Dressed as Green Goblin for Emmys

While there were plenty of stunning looks at the Emmys, the clear head-turner was Princess Poppy in her Green Goblin attire. The RuPaul’s Drag Race alum shocked longtime fans by turning up at the Emmys in such an audacious way, considering she’s mostly avoided the spotlight since her time on the show.

But if there’s one thing younger audiences understand (and condemn) about award shows, it’s that they take themselves way too seriously. Gen Z viewers and social media users respond to ceremonies like the Emmys when there’s less decorum and more levity. So, of course Princess Poppy was going to trend online with her outfit.

So, why was the reality TV alum dressed as Spider-Man’s most famous foe? Well, she wasn’t. In her words, she was dressed as a “troll.” See all the details and her explanation below.

The Emmys Goblin confronts beauty and decorum

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Princess Poppy explained her choice. “I wanted to take everything that is rude and ugly about the usual decorum of awards and do the complete opposite,” she said. Call it performance art or making a statement, but whatever it was, it worked.

“I wanted to be a troll, to literally and figuratively troll the Emmys,” she continued. “The whole purpose of doing this is a way to showcase that the rules of fashion, and rules of beauty and bull – I think it’s more beautiful to show up like this than to show up how you normally would at an awards show.”

Princess Poppy also pointed to the “insurmountable amount of pressure to look gorgeous and beautiful.” Eventually, she realized, “Oh wait, I can do the opposite.” Ultimately, the head-turner felt proud of her statement; “The looks I’ve gotten have been priceless.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 continues Fridays at 8/7c on MTV.
