This is me having a good day and then I remember, remember and remember
Lestat's outfit for the night he met Louis's family always struck me as a bit off-character. Something about the bright emerald green necktie and ring struck me as symbolic... and out of the blue I realized why.
He is wearing a carnation. And the main color that pops is green. Lestat wore the American equivalent of Oscar Wilde's green carnation (which no florist would sell on the New World).
Now, whatever version of the tale you'd like to believe, it has always been widely accepted that Wilde used the green carnation as a visual symbol for "his people", a flower of an unnatural color embodying the "unnatural", meaning the queer crowd.
Now, before you think "but, was that common in Paris where Lestat lived?", the answer is yes. Here is a direct and quote on that:
"The claim is often made that the green carnation was fashionable among “inverts” (as gays were then called) in Paris, with Wilde having simply imported the fashion to London. In addition, early sexologists tell us that green is supposedly the “invert’s” favorite color."
Long story short, Lestat came to his in-laws's house carrying the equivalent of the rainbow flag of that time period.
(Also, let's not forget Lestat is an Oscar Wilde fanboy)
