Why Is There a Slaysian Labubu at the Emmy Awards?
"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."
