The 77th Emmy Awards on Sunday night featured a bevy of drag queens who crashed the red carpet, a recent trend for major Hollywood awards shows that was almost unthinkable a decade ago.
The Emmy Awards, airing live on with CBS and Paramount+ and meant to honor the American prime time television programming, saw its much-ballyhooed red carpet filled with drag performers.
Lucky Starzzz, the Cuban-American drag performer who starred on the seventeenth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, showed up at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, wearing a massive set of roses on his head, a huge glove, and pearls.

Next up was a white cutout dress-clad Suzie Toot, who burst on to mainstream TV screens in 2025 on the seventeenth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
