RuPaul Wore the Western Boot Trend to the Emmys — but His Were Orange

RuPaul’s Drag Race” made Emmys history as the first show to take home awards for Outstanding Reality Competition and Outstanding Reality Host in the same year last night. And when the television personality took the stage, he was sporting bright glossy orange patent leather Western-inspired boots courtesy of Calvin Klein.

His glossy tangerine-hued ankle boots, which retail for nearly $1,300, were designed by Raf Simons. The 57-year-old host, who also dressed in a white double-breasted Calvin Klein suit embellished with a black Andy Warhol print of the Statue of Liberty, turned heads in the loud look.
