Singer-songwriter Mikaela Mullaney Straus, better known as King Princess, was in high school when she was treated to her first pair of Christian Louboutin soles. It was courtesy of her stepfather, who’s a friend of the French designer’s, and the occasion was her senior prom.
“He brought me to the store, and they just treated me like a queen and got me a nice heel, which I never wear now because I can’t wear heels anymore ’cause I’m gay,” she said, almost in one breath, on Thursday night in Los Angeles. “But I loved the experience.
“What’s amazing about Louboutin, when I was a kid, my perception of it was heels, and now I’m wearing these gorgeous f–king clompers,” she continued. “Christian is the type of designer where it’s like gay, straight, whatever the f–k you are, whatever shade, whatever color, whatever gender, whatever sexuality, there’s a shoe.”
Straus, the night’s musical entertainment, is off the heels of a debut “Saturday Night Live” performance and is getting ready to join Harry Styles on tour in 2020.
The 20-year-old Brooklyn native is signed to Mark Ronson’s label Zelig Records, which released her album “Cheap Queen” in October. “Taking over this s–t baby,” she shared playfully
