L for Lilac, L for Lil Nas X
It’s time to call the Lavender shade by Lil Nas’s name
As from what we were expecting, Lil Nas X was supposed to have a baby bump at the VMAs, as his album “Montero” wasn’t out and dominating the world then. Witnessing him without his signature gravid at the VMAs was staggering; what wasn’t flabbergasting was the gospel that the singer looked “the Word” for the VMA’s. His monet hairdo appended a regal aesthetic. He bejeweled himself by putting up a minuscule heart earring in one ear, while a dangling butterfly in the other.
Imagine a whimsical amalgamation of a well-built tuxedo and a trail attached to the trousers resonating with a flared dress. A metaphor beautifully portraying masculine and feminine elements together and promulgating that “ensembles have no gender”. In an embellished Atelier Versace outfit, Lil Nas hued with lavender and took us to pastel-heaven. It was as if the shade was specifically discovered for him. The attached crystals metamorphosed stars, which Lil Nas personifies without a suspicion.
The slip-shoulder suit revealed a glimpse of his well-toned chest and had our tongues out and toes twirled. Lil Nas was wisteria head to toe, with mauve boots making the Lilac synonymous with Lil Nas X.
The singer is enjoying astronomical success, with his album “Montero” recently released. Not only has it created a buzz due to its kickass marketing strategies, but the songs in the album also go much deeper than their beautiful melodies. Fans have been singing praises for the singers౼for representing the members of the LGBTQIA community, the depiction they never received.
His regalia outfits are a huge part of who he is. To think that a few decades back, gay men were slandered and called names, out of which one was “lavender”, his outfit can be considered a substantial satire. Although the mistreatment hasn’t ended yet, to see an openly gay man, dressing up by shackling the norms of gender-based fashion, singing about the first love and crushes, and wearing “lavender” makes a lot of young folks feel ౼ “Unforbidden”.
