Shangela put a lot of thought into her "Temecula Barbie" look for the second season of HBO Max’s We’re Here, which should come as no surprise to her longtime fans. After all, Shangela was known for her over-the-top and meticulously thought-out looks on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Just days after the season two premiere, Shangela and her castmates, including Bob the Drag Queen and Eureka O’Hara, sat down with the AV Club to discuss their style on the series’ latest episodes.
Shangela's 'Temecula Barbie' Inspired by 'Legally Blonde'
Speaking of her "Temecula Barbie" outfit, Shangela told the outlet she was inspired by Reese Witherspoon’s character in Legally Blonde, the iconic Elle Woods.
"I mean, look at us. We look rich, OK?” she began.
“For my look, I was thinking very Legally Blonde, very Elle Woods…It just felt so feminine and fun and almost Barbie in a way with the tiny purse and the jewels in the hair."
According to Shangela, she felt that her look was right out of the box.

Continuing on to AV Box, Shangela said that when she saw her look come together, it was as if someone had pulled a Barbie doll straight out of the box she came in.
"It felt like someone had taken a Barbie box and literally just put a little look at it and pulled the Barbie right on out and put her in Temecula," Shangela stated.
Not surprisingly, Shangela’s "Temecula Barbie" look featured plenty of pink, with feathered and diamond accents throughout.
