It would have been unexpected to see a drag queen sitting front row at Carolina Herrera even just a few years ago, but these days, no respectable fashion week VIP section is complete without at least one queen involved. Anyone who’s looking to fashion to broadcast their personality to their world is an icon in my books.” “We’re a house of glamour and beauty and an unapologetic embrace of fabulousness. “My vision for Herrera is that I can create an array of pieces on a rail that anyone can walk into the store and find that one item that makes you the superhero version of yourself,” Gordon said. It’s the kind of transformational moment any designer would dream of being responsible for, which is why the brand’s creative director, Wes Gordon, invited Symone to sit front row at his spring 2023 fashion show. Her whole posture changed: Her hips were popping, her long legs grew even longer in a pair of high-heeled sandals, and a voluminous sleeve floated in the air as she gave a few experimental waves to the mirror. But Symone arrived a few minutes later, zipped up into a super-short, Barbie-pink floral Carolina Herrera dress.

She was all smiles and polite air kisses in a pair of baggy jeans and a T-shirt accessorized with a studded Valentino bag. Symone - the crowned winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 - showed up on time for her fitting at Carolina Herrera’s offices.
