Someone call Spider-Man! An unexpected villain was spotted on the red carpet at the 75th Annual Emmy Awards on Monday night. The “Green Goblin” walked the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, turning heads with the bold look.
Dressed in a halter gown by Bryn Costume that matched its green skin, the goblin also sported white long hair, and oversized prosthetic ears and a nose.
So who was behind the dating look? It was none other than RuPaul’s Drag Race star Princess Poppy. The drag queen joined fellow cast members at the glamorous event and seemingly enjoyed causing a stir.

“I wanted to do the exact opposite of what is expected of you when you go to an event like this. I wanted to take decorum and turn it on its head,” Poppy told Entertainment Weekly at the annual awards show.
“Mainly I wanted to be a troll-slash-hag. I wanted to be so shocking that you just have to turn and look at me — in the worst way possible,” Poppy continued.
Poppy competed on season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, which aired in early 2023.
