Gigi Goode: Not Just Good, Incredible Groundbreaking Iconic Fashionista

The youngest competitor in the latest season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is bringing fashion to its knees.

22-year-old Samuel “Sam” Geggie is behind the fashion icon drag persona, Gigi Goode. Most famous for being a runner-up on the twelfth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, winning Snatch Game, the Madonna Rusical, and the Ball Ball Challenge before gracing their way to the final top three. There was nothing adagio about falling in love with their couture high-fashion runway ensembles.

Competing as the youngest contestant that season on the reality competition series, Goode instantaneously mesmerized viewers.

There is nothing unkept or thrown together about this queen. From head to toe, they present a flawless silhouette.

The fantasy looks they adorn have set them apart as a praised influential individual. In an exclusive interview with Vogue, Goode responds to a future in the fashion industry: “Abso-fucking-lutely!”

As Goode illustrates their love for fashion you can feel the depth of the marriage that bonds themself and the runway. “It’s always been a dream of mine to walk a runway, ever since I was a kid tying a blanket around my waist and stealing my mum’s heels from Target, walking back and forth down the hallway all night long,” they reminisce.

The captivating Barbie-like icon gushes about their ultimate dream and where they clearly saw themself fitting-in among Drag Race Alumni: “I’d like to bring a little humor and campiness. My golden rule in life is to not take things too seriously, so in that respect I’m obsessed with Jeremy Scott and Moschino, that would be my number-one dream. My introduction to Jeremy Scott was his spring 2015 Barbie collection—I can remember playing with Barbie since I was two years old. That is the dictionary definition to me of where camp meets fashion, and that is so my drag.” We are so floored by your presence and transparency.

The “e” in Goode may be silent, they are not. Goode came out as gender fluid, standing as a role model for all those identifying the same.

In a separate interview with MTV in June 2020, Goode addresses the topic, “In the moment, speaking about that, I really had no idea how this was going to go, which direction it was going to take. And I’m still happy to say that there are people who really, really identified with that. There are people who took that as a means of permission, in a sense, to speak to family members, their friends, and come out and be who they authentically are. It’s a kind of a responsibility that holds a lot of pressure, but also I really cherish that. It’s really amazing that I can have that kind of effect on anyone.”

I really appreciate all of your efforts to use they/them pronouns when referring to me!! I want to make it known that I am comfortable with any pronoun- gender identity is ever changing and growing for me day by day
