Clue explainedFact checked
“Queens” means drag queens here, not monarchs: drag is the costume and presentation associated with a drag performance, so it can be described as regalia for some queens. The clue gets its turn from that second meaning of “queen.” Drag looks vary widely, from elaborate gowns and wigs to outfits built around a particular character or stage persona.
