Artist wearing Dolce & Gabbana clothing fit for a queen? (4)
I believe the answer is:
drag
'artist wearing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'dolce gabbana clothing fit for a queen?' is the wordplay.
'dolce' becomes 'd' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'clothing' means to remove the middle letters.
'fit' is an anagram indicator (letters fitted or arranged in a different way).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'a queen?' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for regina, e.g. in ER ).
'gabbana' with its middle removed is 'ga'.
'ga' with letters rearranged gives 'ag'.
'ag' put after 'r' is 'rag'.
'd'+'rag'='DRAG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drag that I've seen before include "A bore (colloq.); lug" , "gay party" , "Hunt without foxes" , "(Of time) pass slowly" , "Yank" .)
