Which Reality Star Dressed Up as the 1922 Nosferatu's Count Orlok at the Premiere of the Remake, Complete with Pointy Ears?

Halloween may have come and gone, but Hollywood decked itself out in scary decorations for the movie premiere Nosferatu.

The horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers is a remake of a silent classic Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horrors. A 1922 film that was inspired by Bram Stoker’s film Dracula and also remade in 1979, it gave cinema one of the icons of horror: the bald Count Orlok with pointy ears and fangs.

And the reality TV star who is a makeup artist recreated the look for the 2024 premiere at China’s TCL Theater on Thursday, December 12.

So who is underneath the prosthetics and makeup? It’s nothing but popular RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Katya Zamolodchikova, who often accompanies Katya.

Katya arrived at Nosferatu premier wearing prosthetic ears and fangs, pale make-up with dark sunken eyes and long claw-like nails. She was accompanied by puppet and costume artist Astor Yang, who appeared dressed as Orlok’s victim Ellen Hutter.

Inside the theater, which was built in 1927 and has its own gothic vibe, Katya and Yang posted their Instagram Stories with a black and white filter, continuing the 1922 theme.

This is not the first time that a Drag Race contestant caused a gruesome scene on the red carpet. At the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards, Season 15 contestant Princess Poppy turned heads as the Green Goblin.
