D.J. Pierce from getting glammed up for it. This weekend, Shangela was nominated for an Emmy for her seriesin the category of outstanding unstructured reality program. The HBO series follows Shangela and fellow drag stars Bob the Drag Queen and Eureka O’Hara as they travel across the U.S. to recruit small-town residents to participate in one-night-only drag shows. “This was my very first time being a part of a show, as a host, and being nominated for an Emmy,” Shangela tells.
Since March, Shangela has been quarantining in Paris, Texas, with her grandma. When the Emmys were coming up, she knew that, as a nominee, she would have to bring a major fashion moment to it—even if it was from a small town. “I was like, why don’t we bring a little Hollywood Boulevard over here to the backyard,” she says, adding that she avidly follows the red carpets during awards season. “I’m one of those people who runs to the internet to look at what the fashions were.
To do so, Shangela turned this past weekend into a series of glamorous photo ops to honor the Emmys, traipsing around Paris in two fabulous creations by, a friend of hers. “Christian’s designs are epic,” Shangela says, “and the thing about Christian is that he dresses people that, a lot of times, don’t get dressed. I’m not a huge Hollywood star—I’m not Julia Roberts—but he’s so generous with his art.
Finishing details, such as dazzling jewelry from Lolli Cox, all styled by Nick Vision, made the looks feel especially Emmy-ready. The pièce de résistance was a custom plastic face shield embellished with Swarovski crystals, made by Shangela’s friend and collaborator Rico Cavalli. “He literally made it for me overnight,” she says. “In a pandemic, you’ve gotta keep it distant—Halleloo!”
