In the fresh row of a fellow LGBTQ+ icon Jennifer Coolidge , " The gay just bang how to do clobber . "
If there’s one place Barbie is loved, it’s at a pride parade.
On Sunday, West Hollywood held its annual Pride Parade, and it was a star-studded affair.
This included several honorees, likeMelissa McCarthywho received the Ally Icon award.
Niecy Nash-Betts (on the right) and her wife Jessica Betts were named Trailblazer Icons.
Laith Ashley, who plays Taylor Swift’s love interest in the “Lavender Haze” music video, was honored with the Breakthrough Icon award.
Finally,RuPaul’s Drag Racewas given the Drag Icon Award, and numerous queens who’ve competed on the show appeared on floats throughout the parade, including Rock M. Sakura and Gottmik.
Other celebrities in attendance includedReal Housewivesof Beverly Hills starsGarcelle Beauvaisand Sutton Stracke.
Selling Sunsetalum Christine Quinn came to celebrate, too.
However, two of the most notable attendees wereBarbiecostars who adorned a perfectly electric pink float for the film.
Alexandra ShippandScott Evans, who both identify as LGBTQ+, appear in the upcoming highly anticipated film.
Alexandra plays one of the many Barbies. Her tagline is, “This Barbie is a celebrated author.”
Meanwhile, Scott plays a Ken. His tagline is, “You guessed it. He’s a Ken."
While they might have supporting roles in the film, they were front and center on theBarbiefloat, celebrating all things love. Of course, they both wore pink.
Alexandra was appropriately dressed in a pink two-piece look with color-coordinating earrings and shoes.
Scott opted for lighter shades of the film’s signature color but still wore a pink printed button-down and pink shorts.
If aBarbiefloat at a Pride parade isn’t reason enough to see the film when it comes out July 21, then I don’t know what is.
