InstaQueer Roundup: Horror SFX Icon Janelle Monaé, and Chris Appleton Making a Thirst Trap from Scratch
Welcome to our latest Instagram round-up of the queer celebs who served, and those who came together to maximize their joint slays!
This week: Janelle Monaé cements their Halloween icon status with spectacular SFX makeup on the cover of the Hollywood Reporter; Thai stars Mew and Tul get engaged under a pull-down background of a beautiful sunset; Chris Appleton recreates Nara Smith's popular (and controversial) baking videos with a surprise shirtless shot and a matching voice over; model and stylist Martin Gregory Jerez rocks a latex "himbo" shirt on the Barcelona Fashion Week runway; Trans actress Michaela Jaé Rodriguez sparkles on the red carpet in a stunning silver dress at an Academy event; and "Heartstopper" actress Yasmin Finney is radiant in a very chic, sheer dress at an event in London.
Janelle Monáe's Hollywood Reporter photoshoot has cemented the queer musician's cosplay to Halloween icon status, with the nonbinary artist sharing that they wanted to experiment with the "portrayal of a movie monster not living in any particular binary." The experiment was incredibly successful!!
Model and stylist Martin Gregory Jerez is a catwalk Himbo at Barcelona Fashion Week, where he struts his stuff in a playful, sports-inspired latex runway look.
Trans actress and pop music singer Michaela Jaé Rodriguez is stunning in this sparkling silver dress she wore to the Academy Museum Gala, where she served body and cleavage and face on the red carpet. In the caption she asked her glam team "How F-ing DARE YOU slay like this" and she was right to ask it!
● We can't stop watching this coffee-making Chris Appleton thirst trap created as a parody of Nara Smith's 'making this from scratch' videos -with what sounds like a personalized voiceover??? from Nara herself!! which includes details like the fact that the beans have been growing for five years, and that taking off his shirt improves the coffee experience.
Thai stars and openly gay actors Mew Suppasit and Tul Pakorn get engaged, with a sweet proposal happening at a press conference, which was set up complete with a beautiful lilac sunset background placed behind them so the photos really hit the perfect romantic vibe.
"Heartstopper" actress Yasmin Finney is glowing in this chic, sheer outfit at an event in London, her caption reminding us to "surround yourself with those who see your light."
