“RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestant Kerri Colby was the lucky recipient of a DM from Jennifer Lopez, as the star had nothing but praise after she donned one of her most iconic looks of all time. “The Night of 1000 JLos” saw Colby rock Lopez’s iconic plunging Versace dress (you know the one, it literally invented Google Images, per GQ), which caught the attention of the mom of two herself. In fact, it pretty much caught everyone’s attention, as the video of her sashaying down the runway has nabbed more than 4,400 likes on Twitter!
Colby later shared snaps of herself in the dress to Instagram Stories and Lopez re-posted them, which prompted the contestant to tell Lopez in a direct message, “Thank you so much my Leo queen you are such an inspiration.” Lopez liked the message and responded, “Good job baby[.] Killed it.” Colby posted a screenshot of the interaction to her Twitter account, sharing it alongside a Leo, lion and prayer hands emoji. But while Lopez was a fan, Colby failed to impress the judges in the same way. She ended up lip-syncing for her life alongside Alyssa Hunter to JLo’s 2001 hit “Play.” Thankfully, she made it through, but later left the competition in ninth place.
But that wasn’t the end of the iconic homage. Colby was amongst a slew of drag queens who supported Lopez at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March, where she donned the look once again.
