We're going bananas for this look.
Indeed, a reality star made jaws drop at the 2024 Emmys when they arrived on the Sept. 15 red carpet sporting (and peeling themselves out of) a stylish, out of this world banana costume. (For every red carpet look, head on over here).
As for who is behind the eccentric couture? None other than RuPaul's Drag Race winner Nymphia Wind, known for strutting into the workroom of Season 16 by slipping on a banana peel.
And in fact, right before hititng up the star-studded event, the reality star teased her head-turning look outside of the ensemble, sharing a IG Stories post that simply read, "Forgot to do my makeup..."
Shortly after making history as the first East Asian winner, Nymphia opened up about how much her win means.
"As an Asian kid brought up in Asia," she told Entertainment Weekly last April. "We're not taught to be vocal or voice ourselves. We're taught to be subtle, quiet, and keep to ourselves. I'm not one to boast about being good at this or that. I'm a wallflower. Self-confidence has always been a thing throughout my life."
She continued, "Even after winning, you wake up some days and you're not feeling yourself, and other days you wake up super confident. You have to remember to acknowledge the good and the bad and see it as a whole."
As for the advice she has for others when they face the not-so-great days?
"When you have those bad days, remember the good days are going to come," she noted. "The bad days aren't forever. Be graceful, and know that people are out there just like you, even if they may seem confident in themselves. There are things in them you have to find time to see. Winning and this validation is beyond. I always wanted to be the first East Asian queen to win and now I've achieved that."
