THE upcoming season of The Masked Singer, which starts Wednesday, September 22, includes daring new costumes, including the stunning and elaborate Queen of Hearts.
This season’s roster includes new characters, like the dazzling Queen of Hearts, that the show promises will “shock” fans.
WHAT DOES THE QUEEN OF HEARTS LOOK LIKE?
The Queen of Hearts is outfitted in a huge, heart-shaped costume that starts at the waist and completely obscures her figure and face.
In the center of the heart is a pair of bright-blue lips, which match the singular blue eye on the costume.
The eye is surrounded by bright red fluffy lashes and golden spikes.
Naturally, the Queen of Hearts wears a supersized gold crown decorated with jewels.
Her legs are totally covered by a pair of red metallic boots and leggings.
WHAT ARE THE CLUES FOR QUEEN OF HEARTS?
In the first official clue package for the Queen of Hearts, an image of a tall, brown horse is inset over the singer.
The star also appears to be posing in a splendid garden, with a giant chess piece fallen down beside her.
One intro video for the Queen of Hearts features a faux magazine with tabloid-style headlines about her.
The headlines read “Who is this royal masked singer? This masked singer is totally suited for this! This masked singer plans to beat the competition!”
The show also released a sneak preview of some performances. The Queen of Hearts will perform La Vie en Rose, a French song, in her first appearance on the show.
WHAT ARE THE THEORIES ABOUT WHO THE QUEEN OF HEARTS IS?
The clues in one of the promotional videos for this season lead some viewers to believe the Queen of Hearts is Meghan Markle.
“Who is this royal masked singer?” on one screen is believed to be a reference to Markle’s status as Duchess of Sussex.
The clue package also includes the line, “This masked singer is totally suited for this,” which may be a nod to Markle’s time on the television show Suits.
Because the Queen of Hearts will perform La Vie en Rose, plenty of people in the comments section are theorizing that the singer’s secret identity is Celine Dion.
Not only is Dion, who grew up in Quebec, a native French speaker, but her vocals are very technically precise, and fans believe that Queen of Hearts has the same skills.
Other guesses include Jewel, whose album Pieces of You celebrated its 25th anniversary last year; Shakira, another multi-lingual star, whose video for Whenever, Wherever features horses like the one in the first clue package; and Helena Bonham Carter, who portrayed the Red Queen in Tim Burton’s 2010 film Alice in Wonderland.
The new season of the show premieres Wednesday, September 22 on Fox.
