A reality TV star went nearly unrecognizable at the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night.
Red carpet onlookers were puzzled by the former competitive ballroom dancer who stole the spotlight at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Sporting a skintight red mini dress, the Boston native was a far cry from her look at last week’s MTV Awards, where she channeled pop sensation Chappell Roan.
With plumped lips, overflowing cleavage, and body art covering nearly every inch, the Drag Race Season 16 finalist kept fans guessing.
Any ideas who it might be?

It’s Plane Jane from Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, whose birth name is Andrew Vladimir Dunayevskiy.
Plane Jane, who finished third on Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, earned a reputation as the season’s villain, a role she seemed to embrace, according to reports.
In the second episode, she wowed the judges with her performance of her debut single, Burger Finger, winning the talent show challenge and securing immunity by out-performing Geneva Karr in a lip-sync showdown.
Early in the competition, Plane Jane quickly became known for offering unsolicited advice and critiques, often coming across as condescending while claiming to ‘help’ her fellow queens.
Plane Jane led a calvalcade of stars at the Emmys, where the ceremony will be hosted by Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, who are making history as the first father-son duo to emcee the program.
In 2020, the actors took home their own respective Emmy Awards for their work on their hit series, Schitt’s Creek, which they created and starred in for six seasons.
‘For two Canadians who won our Emmys in a literal quarantine tent, the idea of being asked to host this year in an actual theater was incentive enough,’ they said in a statement to Vanity Fair, last month, while confirming their hosting gig.
The pair continued: ‘We’re thrilled to be able to raise a glass to this extraordinary season of television and can’t wait to spend the evening with you all.’
