The stunt queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race are back to their games. The Slaysian Diva, Joella, from season 17 of RuPaul’s Drag Race showed up to the 2025 Emmy Awards dressed as a giant Labubu. Joella, the second out this season, was most notable on Drag Race for strutting an outfit down the runway that was just a giant mattress. Her season-17 sister, the forever troll Kori King, came to the Emmys as Kori Jackson, her Michael Jackson–inspired character that she performs as for her Cameo videos that have since gone viral.

This year, the show received multiple nominations including Best Reality TV Competition Program. At last year’s awards, Princess Poppy showed up to the Emmys dressed as a goblin, causing so much confusion and delight online that she even got a Paper magazine interview out of it. Now let’s see the Survivor contestants cause this much mayhem.
