Credit: VH1 (5)

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, pre-finale, ahead.

140. Soju's Legend Lookalike

1101-Soju_88508635_2740600-(1)
Credit: 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.

138. Kahanna Montrese's Legend Lookalike

Credit: VH1

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 oh-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.

137. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Farm-to-Runway

RuPaul's Drag Race
Credit: VH1

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 had so many this season!). However, as focused as her original idea was, A'keria's backup 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.

Credit: VH1

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 and 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.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11, Episode 2 looksCR: VH1
Credit: VH1

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.

Credit: VH1

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).

132. Mercedes Iman Diamond's Legend Lookalike

Credit: VH1

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.

130. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's All That Glitters

RuPaul's Drag RaceSeason 11, Episode 6 looksCR: VH1
Credit: VH1

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 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 knew she was in trouble for doing the same look (she said as much during this week's episode), and she needed to come up with something super inventive next week, because this wasn't cutting it.

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.

Credit: VH1

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.

Credit: VH1

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.").

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.

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.

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"

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.

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?

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!).

Episode: "Diva Worship"

Runway theme: Fringe

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.

Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Episode: "The Draglympics"

Runway theme: Gold designs

Placement: High

Verdict: With a mug beaten (flawlessly) for God, Silky Nutmeg Ganache's church lady realness is sweet and sassy, but, like most of her outfits thus far, lacks a concrete punch that takes it from "This is nice!" to "WEFOIWEJFOIWEJOIWEJ YAS QUEEN!"

Runway theme: Create couture designs with organic materials

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: The concept is wonderful, and the top half of Ra'Jah's risky outfit works (and that makeup paired with a vine-wrapped high pony? Slay me!); I just wish the burlap pants (amazing in theory!) didn't fall apart at the seams. If they hadn't, we would've barked a total toot in this outfit's honor.

Contestant: A'keria Chanel Davenport

Episode: "Dragracadabra"

Runway theme: Caftan Realness

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Even a terrible caftan is a good caftan, because — little-known fact — caftans can't be hideous! It's scientifically impossible, according to...well...science. But Miss A'keria Chanel Davenport did not construct a caftan here. She constructed a catsuit with wings. Sort of like the body of a flying squirrel. The point is: This is not a caftan. So I can say it's...not so good.

Verdict: No. If Yvie had worn this, Silky would've called it trash that cost $3.

Contestant: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

Episode: "Monster Ball"

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

Placement: Safe

Verdict: She looks freakable (as always), but, between the neon green pattern lining her off-the-rack dress and the awkward grave on her head, we're not sure what monster Miss Vanjie was supposed to be, here.

Verdict: Lady Gaga's American Horror Story Countess would like a word with this peculiar (but not altogether awful) outfit.

Contestant: Ra'Jah O'Hara

Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"

Runway theme: Orange Alert

Placement: Bottom Two

Verdict: Failing to score the props she deserved for a second consecutive week, Ra'Jah pulled off another offbeat (it almost shouldn't work, but it does) take on "basic" drag foundations with fun thigh-high boots, a sparkling catsuit, and a pussycat wig.

Contestant: Honey Davenport

Episode: "Good God Girl, Get Out"

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Placement: Safe

Verdict: Known for her eccentric style, Honey Davenport scaled back and embraced simplicity when she sported a fabulous form-fitting gown and let the hair — inspired by a lion's mane — do the roaring for her.

Contestant: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

Episode: "Diva Worship"

Runway theme: Fringe

Placement: High

Verdict: Referencing Cher is never a bad idea, but the simplicity of Vanjie's tiny fringe number was a bit of a letdown — especially compared to her high-concept fashions that preceded this one.

Contestant: Ariel Versace

Episode: "Whatcha Unpackin?"

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

Placement: Safe

Verdict: It's not exactly fashion, but the attention to detail and the precision with which this Poison-Ivy-by-way-of-Laganja-Estranja look came together was a trip in itself.

Episode: "Good God Girl, Get Out"

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Verdict: After flopping her popped-pimple look on the first episode, Nina West redeemed herself with a dazzling headpiece and appropriately loud pattern announcing her true arrival to the Drag Race competition.

Verdict: Clocked for wearing the same wig again, Ariel continued her Drag Race ride by adding slight alterations to the same base on her body and head. As far as modifications go, though, we're very here for dangly arm feathers!

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Two wig shake-ups in a row for Ariel Versace? Her radical hair departure served this Lady-Gaga-during-the-Born-This-Way-era well (and no, Michelle Visage, those sunglasses totally gave this already eye-popping outfit a welcome dose of Allie X energy).

Episode: "L.A.D.P.!"

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

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Judges' critiques be damned, Ariel Versace's self-described "Punk Rock Silent Hill Nurse" is the most inventive thing she sent down the runway, complete with a new style of wig and a fully realized concept.

Episode: "Monster Ball"

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

Placement: High

Verdict: Yvie Oddly's idea got us excited, but she cursed her own voodoo doll by pinning too many disparate inspirations into one piece. It's almost there, but not quite — though Yvie on her worst day is better than most of queens on their best day.

Contestant: A'keria Chanel Davenport

Episode: "Bring Back My Queens!"

Runway theme: Make over one of the eliminated queens

Placement: High

Verdict: It's a standard A'keria look, but the material looks a little cheap. Still, as Ross Mathews said: If it's not completely broken (and this isn't), throw a wig on it (as long as the wig looks as polished as this one) and proudly strut it down the runway.

Contestant: A'keria Chanel Davenport

Episode: "Good God Girl, Get Out"

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Placement: Safe

Verdict: On any other queen's body, the colorful gloss and on-the-nose pattern of this textured gown might've felt tacky and way-too-old-school, but A'keria's technical precision and regal poise made this a fun throwback to classic pageant glamour tinged with a zest of camp costume accents.

Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"

Runway theme: Orange Alert

Verdict: It's cute, both in tribute (it's an ode to Barbra Streisand) and in execution, but this orange eleganza is a little too saloon cost-ume to join the ranks of season 11's best.

Placement: Bottom Six

Verdict: A dollop of old-school glamour done right, Scarlet Envy's throwback to Hollywood's Golden Age was the (literal) silver lining to her disastrous performance in the diva worship challenge. Plus: FRINGE TASSELS ON THE FINGERTIPS!!!

Episode: "Diva Worship"

Runway theme: Fringe

Placement: Safe

Verdict: For a queen who previously knocked us out with her neon superhero getup and slayed with a plastic wave around her neck, Brooke Lynn Hytes' uncomplicated floral-inspired fringe is a surprisingly simple lewk for this conceptual master. It's well-built and serves the theme, but it doesn't pop off quite as hard as her other designs.

Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"

Runway theme: Orange Alert

Placement: Safe

Verdict: To quote one of Michelle Visage's iconic season 10 reads: "It's...a fairy." Fluttering dangerously close to her first runway lewk, Plastique Tiara saved this silhouette from fading away into the standard abyss with a gorgeous pair of orange wings that flapped and tickled our fancy.

Contestant: Scarlet Envy

Episode: "The Draglympics"

Runway theme: Gold designs

Placement: Eliminated

Verdict: Pairing silver accessories with a gold dress shouldn't work, but it's not as awful when the body carrying the combination is as sickening as Scarlet Envy's. I wish the hair were a tad bigger, but, overall, this is another clean, elegant look from Scarlet that hardly deserved to land in the bottom.

Verdict: Honey Davenport's drag family has a way with household products: Daughter Monét X Change made sponges iconic, and now her mother has seemingly recycled a few latex gloves for this standout stunner paying homage to Lady Gaga's "Angel Down" jacket from the Joanne World Tour and Beyoncé's headwear in the "Formation" music video — two songs with important social messages Honey told EW she wanted to highlight on the runway.

Contestant: Nina West

Episode: "From Farm to Runway"

Runway theme: Create couture designs with organic materials

Placement: Low

Verdict: Another questionable judgment by the panel. The detail and texture of Nina West's corn husk skirt is impressive, and her proportion-izing has (slightly) improved. It's not the best thing to ever strut down the Drag Race runway, but, unlike the vegetable that inspired it, it's satisfyingly smooth to digest nonetheless.

Episode: "Whatcha Unpackin?"

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

Placement: High

Verdict: The higher the hair, the closer to God, and this five-wigged construction of fabulosity is practically tall enough to smooch our collective ghost after it departed this world for the sky above when Miss Davenport strutted down the runway.

Episode: "Good God Girl, Get Out"

Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac

Verdict: Perhaps it didn't overtly scream "Scorpio," but Shuga Cain can color outside the lines as much as she wants if the results are as fabulous as this form-fitting, futuristic bodysuit that radiated the appropriate sexual energy and dark allure of a Scorpio at heart.

Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"

Episode: "Whatcha Unpackin?"

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

Placement: High

Verdict: Plastique Tiara's drag inspirations are rooted in the aesthetic of Vietnamese pop stars, and she slayed this season's first design challenge by staying true to that vision with this gorgeous, fine-tuned (and fishy) piece. Plastique's challenge going forward would be to break free from this silhouette, as she also sashayed into the Werk Room wearing a cinched top with a flowy train.
