Cosmo Lombino, also known as the Queen of Melrose, is an American stylist, fashion designer, entrepreneur and internet personality.[2] She[lower-alpha 1] has personally styled celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Nicole Kidman, Beyoncé, Shaquille O'Neal, CeeLo Green, Erykah Badu, and Justin Timberlake.[4][5][6]

Early life

Lombino grew up in Harlem, New York, as the son of a mobster.[7] Lombino's family moved to Encino, Los Angeles after her father was affiliated with the 1978 Lufthansa heist.[8][9]

Career

In the 1980s, Lombino began working as a stylist at a clothing store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California.[10] The store was frequented by celebrities such as Madonna.[11][12] Lombino also worked as a drag queen on Santa Monica Boulevard alongside RuPaul.[13] In 2010, Lombino opened her own boutique, Cosmo's Glamsquad, on Melrose Avenue. She has since opened two additional boutiques on the same street: Cosmo & Donato, and Shoe Whore.[14] The three boutiques have earned her the nickname Queen of Melrose.[2]

In March 2024, Lombino was featured in an interview by photographer Mark Laita on his YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly. A clip from the interview went viral on social media later that month, with many people using the clip as a reaction meme or lightheartedly comparing the clip to how someone might overshare in an inappropriate situation.[15] A clip of Lombino complaining about security at Madonna's Celebration tour also went viral that March. Lombino has embraced her internet popularity, appearing in a number of interviews and podcasts to talk about her life as well as expressing interest in appearing on reality television.[16]

In 2024, Lombino appeared as a guest on the Very Delta podcast,[17] as well as Grindr "Who's The Asshole?" podcast.[18]
