Symone checks her look in her hotel room mirror. Photo: Fields “My first time in the Big Apple: It feels amazing,” Symone, the 26-year-old winner of season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, tells me when we meet up at the Standard, High Line, for some Pride-weekend partying. “I keep looking around — it’s like everything is out of a movie.
7:53 p.m. | Madonna’s party doesn’t start till later, so Symone first jets across town to the opening night of No Bar at the Standard’s East Village location, where she is expected to show face at a Drag Race screening. Meeting up in the Standard, High Line’s lobby, she steps off the elevator looking radiant in blonde pigtails and a ruffled pink-and-orange dress. “It’s a sunburst dress — for a colorful life,” she says.
9:40 p.m. | Up in her hotel room, Symone changes into her second outfit for the night: tiny pink Von Dutch shorts with a fringed bubblegum-pink top and a sparkly Von Dutch trucker’s cap over an ombré wig. “Pink ho is the mood board,” she says before remembering, “I need to put on some baby oil so I’ll quit freaking out.” Other members of the House of Avalon run in and out of the room, looking for nail glue and scissors and tequila.
12 a.m. | Our section continues to fill with more New York–famous and kind-of-famous and fame-adjacent. There’s Jordan Firstman, looking rather standoffish, and my premiere are u coming? subject, Remy Duran, looking much friendlier. Zachary Quinto appears, hair slicked back and in a pussy-bow blouse but still managing to somehow look like a Fidi bro. Ziwe, Bowen Yang, and the photographer Quil Lemons all sit in the next section, backs to ours. Amanda Lepore arrives, strutting in slo-mo.
