Meet Symone and Gottmik, two queens with wildly different aesthetics and a similar trailblazing spirit from Season 13, currently running Fridays on VH1. Meanwhile, Symone delivers an “unapologetically Black” blend of sass and class to “Drag Race,” matching her L.A. compatriot step for flawless step. The drag scene here, and “Drag Race” specifically, have opened up a lane for people to do drag at a different level, outside of bars. Symone, left, and Gottmik, current stars of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” photographed in Beverly Hills. Gottmik, the first transmasculine contestant on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” makes a potent comment on trans identity with this “Little Black Dress” look from Season 13.
