Every RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 runway look so far, ranked

The queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 have both turned it out and turned our stomachs with their eclectic runway fashions, which have run the gamut from absolutely sickening to downright nauseating. Sorted from worst (R.I.P., sweet cyster Soju!) to best, check out EW’s ranked list of every look from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 ahead. Updates to follow when the show returns for its grand finale Thursday, May 30, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on VH1.

Contestant: Soju

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Soju cut corners (and herself right out of the competition) with this halfhearted attempt at using Drag Race alum Kim Chi's closet to stitch a traditional Korean hanbok.

Contestant: Nina West

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Low

Verdict: Nina West's competitive prospects went south after she regurgitated Thorgy Thor's trunk of textiles in the form of an ill-fitting, pimple-dotted dress.

Contestant: Kahanna Montrese

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: Kahanna Montrese might be a Vegas showgirl, but her clumsy debut runway lewk screamed show-no-she-betta-don't thanks to a pair of partially stoned, reused tights and a recycled bra — both of which she already wore into the Werk Room earlier in the episode.

Contestant: A’Keria Chanel Davenport

Episode: “From Farm to Runway”

Runway theme: Create couture designs with organic materials

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: The original design A’Keria Chanel Davenport had to scrap sounded fabulous; It’s a shame the materials didn’t hold together, but such are the perils of a Drag Race design challenge (I love that we’ve had so many this season!). As focused as her original idea was, A’Keria’s backup, however, registered as a clear-cut mess of misshapen denim from head to toe that I’m affectionately dubbing a Canadian tuxed-oh-no-she-betta-don’t.

Contestant: Kahanna Montrese

Episode: “Good God Girl, Get Out”

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Shortly after her elimination, Kahanna Montrese told EW she didn't take seriously the act of preparing for the Emmy-winning competition series, and this outfit — which reads as a pair of arts & crafts horns slapped atop a Chico's dress — proves it.

Contestant: Honey Davenport

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Safe

Verdict: However technically solid this inoffensive outfit (and cute wig/makeup combination) might be, it's only serving off-the-rack realness at its core.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Good God Girl, Get Out”

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Placement: Safe

Verdict: If only Silky Nutmeg Ganache's larger-than-life personality translated to her fashion. Her entrance lewk proved she knows how to make a statement on her own terms, but the concept for her zodiac costume got lost in translation.

Contestant: Shuga Cain

Episode: “Monster Ball”

Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: Sure, it’s supposed to be a troll, but we’re getting Diva Plavalaguna from The Fifth Element. Either way, this colorful bodysuit (with fun, candy-colored accents) is far better than the judges gave it credit for (but it’s still not good).

Contestant: Mercedes Iman Diamond

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Low

Verdict: It's not the most hideous thing to ever sashay down the Drag Race runway, but it's not particularly memorable as a statement piece — and that's worse than, say, making the wrong kind of impression in a now-iconic, unfinished gown covered in sponges (here's looking at you, Monét X Change).

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “From Farm to Runway”

Runway theme: Create couture designs with organic materials

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Beans, beans, they’re musical fruit; The more you eat, the more you… yeah, we’re not tooting this. It’s a boot. Silky, did you bean those accessories? Yes, she did… on almost the exact same silhouette she did for episode 1’s Legend Lookalike challenge. Sigh.

Contestant: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

Episode: “The Draglympics”

Runway theme: Gold designs

Placement: Low

Verdict: Everyone loves Vanjie. Everyone really loves Vanjie. But we're getting to the point where legacy is buckling under the dead weight of her actual output; She's charismatic and one of the most charming queens in Drag Race history, but her performance on the runway has fluctuated between confusing hodgepodge (this, with all 16 different shades of gold she paired together) to give-me-the-crown-now-stunning (see the No. 1 look on this list). Vanjie knows she's in trouble for doing the same look (she said as much during this week's episode), and she needs to come up with something super inventive next week, because this isn't cutting it.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Monster Ball”

Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza

Placement: Low

Verdict: Cartoony without being campy, Silky Nutmeg Ganache looks cute, cuddly, and a little on the safe side in this figure-hugging construction.

Contestant: Mercedes Iman Diamond

Episode: “Good God Girl, Get Out”

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: For the second week in a row, Mercedes Iman Diamond debuted a bare-bones look that faded into the background for its simplicity versus any outright shortcomings.

Contestant: Scarlet Envy

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Safe

Verdict: The Old Hollywood icon tried to jump out, but what we got was more along the lines of if the ghost of Mae West — on her pettiest day in heaven — returned to Earth to possess the body of a Brooklyn hipster en route to a thrift shop.

Contestant: Ariel Versace

Episode: “Monster Ball”

Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: We know it’s not good; Ariel knows it’s not good; Let’s just let this one sink to the bottom of the ocean where it belongs, yeah?

Contestant: Nina West

Episode: “The Draglympics”

Runway theme: Gold designs

Placement: Low

Verdict: The always adorable Nina West unfortunately pillaged the wrong costume store with this cartoony Halloween garb. Normally, Nina's the perfect queen to pull off a campy number, but this outfit lacks her signature taste and ventures too far into goofy territory to be taken seriously.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Bring Back My Queens!”

Runway theme: Make over one of the eliminated queens

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: Though Silky's Nutmeg Ganache should've slid its way off the Drag Race cake ages ago, I have to give credit where credit is due: I don't hate this look. The material is interesting and the throwback vibe is fun, but the construction is messy (and Soju's makeup looks, to quote Alaska, "terrible.").

Contestant: Shuga Cain

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Though she's the oldest of the bunch, Shuga Cain shaved a decade (or two) off her frame with this emo prom dress.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Silky Nutmeg Ganache lived up to her name for her runway debut, combining a delectable vision with Peppermint's trunk of goodies for this sweet dollop of eye candy.

Contestant: Ra'Jah O'Hara

Episode: “Good God Girl, Get Out”

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Placement: Safe

Verdict: The execution is there (and the wig is fun!), but the hooves on the hands read as a costume add-on versus a couture accent.

Contestant: Mercedes Iman Diamond

Episode: “Diva Worship”

Runway theme: Fringe

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Bless Mercedes Iman Diamond for describing this look as “military” in her runway voiceover. While it isn’t combat-ready, one of Mercedes’ outfits finally commanded our attention on the runway.

Contestant: Ra'Jah O'Hara

Episode: “Whatcha Unpackin?”

Runway theme: Create looks using materials inspired by past Drag Race legends

Placement: Safe

Verdict: This retro, Xanadu-esque gem didn't sit well with fans, but the sweet taste of this rainbow had us savoring all of its throwback feels.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Monster Ball”

Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza

Placement: Low

Verdict: With her heart in the right place, Silky Nutmeg Ganache counted on a fun throwback to The Wiz to score some points, but mere reference isn’t enough to push a look over the top, and this garment fell short of technical expectations.

Contestant: Scarlet Envy

Episode: “Trump: The Rusical”

Runway theme: Orange Alert

Placement: Safe

Verdict: The pattern is right, the shoes are right, the face is so right, but the shape of Scarlet Envy's dress adds unwieldy visual weight to the would-be delicacy of this otherwise fruitful creation.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Diva Worship”

Runway theme: Fringe

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Silky Nutmeg Ganache definitely wore similar looks prior to appearing on Drag Race (check out this performance), but that doesn’t make this welcome shot of traditional glamour any less gorgeous on the large-and-in-charge diva.

Contestant: Mercedes Iman Diamond

Episode: “Trump: The Rusical”

Runway theme: Orange Alert

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Mercedes Iman Diamond went out with a bang, rocking the best outfit she'd worn so far when she sashayed away from the competition.

Contestant: Shuga Cain

Episode: “Monster Ball”

Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: She covered her tuck with a feathered bush! She licked a ram skull! She literally got horny! This fun, demonic look is everything Drag Race fans come to the show for: Preposterous fantasy and cheeky humor. What’s not to love?

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: “Monster Ball”

Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza

Placement: Low

Verdict: She “only paints one mug, and that’s a beauty mug.” Perhaps that’s why it was so difficult to understand Silky’s aesthetic direction with this horny hodgepodge.

Contestant: Nina West

Episode: “Bring Back My Queens!”

Runway theme: Make over one of the eliminated queens

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Gold-hearted queen Nina West literally wears her pride on her sleeve with this celebratory look, and it speaks volumes about Nina as a person (and how she chooses to use her platform in the mainstream spotlight). That being said, the wigs feel mismatched with the outfits, and, despite thematically tying together, technically don't match the objective of the challenge, either. It's a sweet effort, but, technically, a bit of a misfire.

Contestant: Ariel Versace

Episode: “Diva Worship”

Runway theme: Fringe

Placement: High

Verdict: Consistent as always, Ariel Versace’s fringe fantasy is cute, classy, and flawlessly constructed. She was read (again) for wearing the same wig, but when everything below the hairline looks this fabulous, it’s probably difficult to notice (plus, the woman has a hair business, for heaven's sake! Let her live and show off her product!).

Contestant: Ra’Jah O’Hara

Episode: “Diva Worship”

Runway theme: Fringe

Placement: Bottom Six

Verdict: The judges hated it, but Ra’Jah O’Hara’s embellished leotard — fun, flashy, and beautifully sequined to accentuate her Tyra Banks stems — is the best thing she’s worn on the runway so far.
