1 of 141
The best and worst of the RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 runway
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
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.

139. Nina West's Legend Lookalike
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
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.

5 of 141
137. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Farm-to-Runway
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.

136. Kahanna Montrese's What's Your Sign?
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.
6 of 141
7 of 141
135. Honey Davenport's Legendary Lookalike
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.
7 of 141
8 of 141
134. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's What's Your Sign?
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.
8 of 141
9 of 141
133. Shuga Cain's Trampy Trick or Treater
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).
9 of 141
10 of 141
132. Mercedes Iman Diamond's Legend Lookalike
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).
10 of 141
11 of 141
131. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Farm-to-Runway
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.
11 of 141
12 of 141
130. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's All That Glitters
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.
12 of 141
13 of 141
129. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Trampy Trick or Treater
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.
13 of 141
14 of 141
128. Mercedes Iman Diamond's What's Your Sign?
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.
14 of 141
15 of 141
127. Scarlet Envy's Legend Lookalike
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.
15 of 141
16 of 141
126. Ariel Versace's MILF Eleganza
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?
16 of 141
17 of 141
125. Nina West's All That Glitters
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.
17 of 141
18 of 141
124. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Sisterly Makeover
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.").
18 of 141
19 of 141
123. Shuga Cain's Legend Lookalike
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.
19 of 141
20 of 141
122. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Legend Lookalike
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.
20 of 141
21 of 141
121. Ra'Jah O'Hara's What's Your Sign?
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.
21 of 141
22 of 141
120. Mercedes Iman Diamond's Fringe Fantasy
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.
22 of 141
23 of 141
119. Ra'Jah O'Hara's Legend Lookalike
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.
23 of 141
24 of 141
118. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Witch Please!
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.
24 of 141
25 of 141
117. Scarlet Envy's Orange Alert
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.
25 of 141
26 of 141
116. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Fringe Fantasy
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.
26 of 141
27 of 141
115. Mercedes Iman Diamond's Orange Alert
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.
27 of 141
28 of 141
114. Shuga Cain's MILF Eleganza
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?
28 of 141
29 of 141
113. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's MILF Eleganza
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.
29 of 141
30 of 141
112. Nina West's Sisterly Makeover
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.
30 of 141
31 of 141
111. Ariel Versace's Fringe Fantasy
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!).
31 of 141
32 of 141
110. Ra'Jah O'Hara's Fringe Fantasy
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.
32 of 141
33 of 141
109. Ra'Jah O'Hara's Witch Please!
Contestant: Ra'Jah O'Hara
Episode: "Monster Ball"
Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza
Placement: Safe
Verdict: Ra'Jah O'Hara presents: Oz, the Gagged and Goopful (with a dash of Scary Spice hair to boot).
33 of 141
34 of 141
108. Nina West's Witch Please!
Contestant: Nina West
Episode: "Monster Ball"
Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza
Placement: Safe
Verdict: The concept is nearly perfect (and Nina West has earned the right to burn us at the stake any time she wanted) but the execution is a tad too literal.
34 of 141
35 of 141
107. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's All That Glitters
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!"
35 of 141
36 of 141
106. Ra'Jah O'Hara's Farm-to-Runway
Contestant: Ra'Jah O'Hara
Episode: "From Farm to Runway"
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.
36 of 141
37 of 141
105. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Caftan
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.
37 of 141
38 of 141
104. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Face-Kini Realness
Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Episode: "L.A.D.P.!"
Runway theme: Face-Kini (everything covered but mouth and eyes).
Placement: High
Verdict: No. If Yvie had worn this, Silky would've called it trash that cost $3.
38 of 141
39 of 141
103. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's MILF Eleganza
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.
39 of 141
40 of 141
102. Shuga Cain's Witch Please!
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: Lady Gaga's American Horror Story Countess would like a word with this peculiar (but not altogether awful) outfit.
40 of 141
41 of 141
101. Ra'Jah O'Hara's Orange Alert
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.
41 of 141
42 of 141
100. Honey Davenport's What's Your Sign?
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.
42 of 141
43 of 141
99. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's Fringe Fantasy
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.
43 of 141
44 of 141
98. Ariel Versace's Legend Lookalike
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.
44 of 141
45 of 141
97. Nina West's What's Your Sign?
Contestant: Nina West
Episode: "Good God Girl, Get Out"
Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac
Placement: Safe
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.
45 of 141
46 of 141
96. Ariel Versace's Orange Alert
Contestant: Ariel Versace
Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"
Runway theme: Orange Alert
Placement: Safe
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!
46 of 141
47 of 141
95. A'keria Chanel Davenport's MILF Eleganza
Contestant: A'keria Chanel Davenport
Episode: "Monster Ball"
Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza
Placement: Safe
Verdict: In keeping with the runway theme, A'keria Chanel Davenport proved she's a monster we'd like to (eight-legged) freak with this fun, spooky spin on traditional glamour.
47 of 141
48 of 141
94. Ariel Versace's Witch Please!
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: 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).
48 of 141
49 of 141
93. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Witch Please!
Contestant: A'Keria Chanel Davenport
Episode: "Monster Ball"
Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza
Placement: Safe
Verdict: Floating down the runway like a smoky, sultry cloud of dark energy gave A'Keria Chanel Davenport an edge we didn't realize she had.
49 of 141
50 of 141
92. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's Face-Kini Realness
Contestant: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo
Episode: "L.A.D.P.!"
Runway theme: Face-Kini (everything covered but mouth and eyes).
Placement: Bottom Two
Verdict: Miss Vanjie with the (just okay and not that great) pants! The concept is divine, but the fit is off. Points for vision, though!
50 of 141
51 of 141
91. Ariel Versace's Trampy Trick or Treater
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: 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.
51 of 141
52 of 141
90. Yvie Oddly's MILF Eleganza
Contestant: Yvie Oddly
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.
52 of 141
53 of 141
89. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Sisterly Makeover
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.
53 of 141
54 of 141
88. A'keria Chanel Davenport's What's Your Sign?
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.
54 of 141
55 of 141
87. Nina West's Orange Alert
Contestant: Nina West
Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"
Runway theme: Orange Alert
Placement: Safe
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.
55 of 141
56 of 141
86. Scarlet Envy's Fringe Fantasy
Contestant: Scarlet Envy
Episode: "Diva Worship"
Runway theme: Fringe
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!!!
56 of 141
57 of 141
85. Brooke Lynn Hytes' Fringe Fantasy
Contestant: Brooke Lynn Hytes
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.
57 of 141
58 of 141
84. Ra'Jah O'Hara's All That Glitters
Contestant: Ra'Jah O'Hara
Episode: "The Draglympics"
Runway theme: Gold designs
Placement: Bottom Two
Verdict: Despite her performances in the main challenges, Ra'Jah O'Hara turned consistently gorgeous looks on the runway, and this shimmering bodysuit is no exception.
58 of 141
59 of 141
83. Plastique Tiara's Orange Alert
Contestant: Plastique Tiara
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.
59 of 141
60 of 141
82. Scarlet Envy's All That Glitters
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.
60 of 141
61 of 141
81. Nina West's MILF Eleganza
Contestant: Nina West
Episode: "Monster Ball"
Runway theme: Spooky ball with three components: Trampy Trick or Treater, Witch Please!, and MILF Eleganza
Placement: Safe
Verdict: We stan a queen who ditches a wig reveal for a face reveal (yay, bloody mouth!) but the rest of this look is a bit of a disjointed letdown compared to its introductory gimmick.
61 of 141
62 of 141
80. Honey Davenport's Fringe Fantasy
Contestant: Honey Davenport
Episode: "Diva Worship"
Runway theme: Fringe
Placement: Eliminated
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.

79. Nina West's Farm-to-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.

78. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo's Farm-to-Runway
Contestant: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo
Episode: "From Farm to Runway"
Runway theme: Create couture designs with organic materials
Placement: Safe
Verdict: At long last, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo has broken the corset-and-panty curse! The color palette, the hair, and the ropes delicately dangling on her bronze body have me gagging!

77. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Legend Lookalike
Contestant: A'keria Chanel Davenport
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.

76. Shuga Cain's What's Your Sign?
Contestant: Shuga Cain
Episode: "Good God Girl, Get Out"
Runway theme: Strut couture inspired by signs of the zodiac
Placement: High
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.

75. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Orange Alert
Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Episode: "Trump: The Rusical"
Runway theme: Orange Alert
Placement: Challenge Winner
Verdict: We love the big-and-Silky cookie mother herself, but her season 11 sisters blew her (and this regal, pageant-standard gown) out of the water this week.

74. Plastique Tiara's Legend Lookalike
Contestant: Plastique Tiara
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.

73. Silky Nutmeg Ganache's Best Drag
Contestant: Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Episode: "Queens Everywhere"
Runway theme: Best drag
Placement: Safe
Verdict: It's nothing we haven't seen from Silky before: big hair, stoned gown, mug beat for the gods. It's her best — yet, most reliable and familiar — drag.

72. A'keria Chanel Davenport's Sequins
Contestant: A'keria Chanel Davenport
Episode: "Snatch Game at Sea"
Runway theme: Glistening, sequin-covered fashion
Placement: Safe
Verdict: I love that A'keria Chanel Davenport attempted a daring pattern here, but that's the most exciting thing about this altogether-expected look from the pageant beauty.
