Nymphia Wind stunned everyone at the 2024 Emmy Awards, as the artist entered the Peacock Theater wearing a full-coverage bodycon florescent banana outfit. Being at the Emmy Awards for the first time was a big moment for her, and the artist definitely left an impression. The self-proclaimed “Banana Queen” is the creator of this extravagant outfit alongside collaborator Shio Gan. Meanwhile, Bad Binch TongTong designed the Banana Peel that displayed the huge detachable leaves. Although nobody could see the reigning Drag Race star’s face, Nymphia Wind’s ensemble made heads turn.

Talking to People, the drag performer revealed that the inspiration behind the Banana ensemble is Kim Kardashian’s 2021 Met Gala look. Nymphia said, “The inspiration was from Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala look with Balenciaga, the all-black one.” She continued, “For this version, I wanted to do like a bold color and bold structure and shape, and that was the main focus.” The dressmaker further talked about the idea of concealing one’s identity, adding, “I found what Kim did at the Met interesting where she covered up her identity and was just left with a physical form.”
