Cyndi Lauper showed her solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community by attending the 2024 WeHo Pride parade in West Hollywood, California. She served as Grand Marshal while rocking a pair of blue cutout shiny jeans, a white corset top, and a metallic leather jacket that matched her silver headgear.
Cyndi looked stunning as she accessorized with dropping disco ball earrings similar to the design on her crown, which she wore over her short platinum hair. The singer-songwriter threw on some makeup featuring pink lips, blue eyeshadow, and a subtle winged liner.
Fans cheer on Cyndi Lauper as she shows her pride

Cyndi’s followers took to the comments, wishing the pop icon “happy pride month,” and appreciating her advocacy. A few critics called out the legendary musician for her stance. However, fans came to her defense with fitting rebuttals against their negative remarks. “I’ve never understood why people care so much about who other people love. It’s as if they’re being personally affected by it. Weird,” a user wondered.
Cyndi has always been a pioneering advocate for feminists and the queer community, starting from a time when these ideologies were considered extremely controversial. Her activism is portrayed in Allison Ellwood’s upcoming documentary Let the Canary Sing, which gives insight into Cyndi’s rise to fame as a musician who used her platform to push for reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights.
Cyndi also praised other pride members across different groups like True Colors United, Planned Parenthood, and VOTE411. She recalled having fun and engaging them while also expressing gratitude for their “important work.” Cyndi encouraged her followers to turn up for the polls in November to determine the next U.S. president.
