With ten eliminated queens returning, the anticipation for the crowning of America’s Next Drag Superstar is high. This finale promises to be one of the most exciting yet, with all the drama and glitz fans have come to love.
The blue carpet event saw the queens embracing the splashy theme of the season, and they did not disappoint. From futuristic designs to classic elegance, each queen brought their unique flair and interpretation to the runway. As we await the crowning of the next Drag Superstar, let’s dive into the finale looks and see how each queen shone in their own way.
Lucky Starzzz dazzled in a black velvet gown that, while simple, allowed her personality to shine through. The gown may have seemed unfinished to some, but it was the perfect canvas for her vibrant personality. A soft toot for Lucky, whose look was out of this world.
Joella’s look was a playful nod to her quilted runway earlier in the season. Her ensemble may not have been visually arresting, but it was undeniably fun and camp. Known for her opulence, Joella’s finale look was a playful boot, but her iconic status in the local scene remains unchallenged.
Hormona Lisa’s ensemble paid homage to the trans flag with stunning hair and makeup. The oversized ruffle and iridescent fabric created a bold statement, even if the overall look felt a bit disjointed. Despite this, Hormona’s style remains audacious and unapologetic.
Crystal Envy wowed with a sleek and sophisticated look featuring daring cutouts and draping. While the fit could have been slightly improved, her style and confidence earned her a soft toot. Her breast contour may have raised some eyebrows, but Crystal’s c*nty look was undeniably fierce.
Acacia Forgot impressed with a voluminous and colorful gown that combined blue and yellow hues in harmony. Her ensemble was both extravagant and tastefully executed. The clever use of forget-me-not flowers and her ability to maintain a snatched waist earned her a toot.
Kori King embodied a Power Rangers villain with a look that was both daring and stylish. The pink on her skin tone was breathtaking, and the attention to detail was evident. Despite the restrictive gloves, Kori’s bold choices and iconic manicure were a hit with the audience.
Lydia’s finale look combined crystallized armor with an unexpected softness. The ensemble was fierce, yet not as outlandish as fans expected. Nevertheless, her look earned a soft toot for its innovative design.
Lana Ja’Rae’s look was a pastel dream, blending lilac and rose hues with a touch of camp. While the footwear choice was questionable, her couture-inspired outfit was a delight. Lana’s unique style earned her a toot, even if some fans craved more daring elements.
Suzie Toot delivered a theatrical look inspired by Little Shop of Horrors. Her outfit was a celebration of her Snatch Game performance and her dominant presence throughout the season. Suzie’s attention to detail and bold color palette earned her a definitive toot.
Sam Star’s American-themed ensemble fell short of expectations. While the color scheme was appealing, the overall look felt overdone. The oversized hat and awkward silhouette resulted in a boot, but Sam’s presence remains strong in drag circles.
Lexi Love’s floral-inspired look was both bold and beautiful. Her outfit was a statement of pride and strength, reflecting her trans identity. Lexi’s finale look was a triumph, earning her a well-deserved toot.
Jewels Sparkles commanded attention with a gown fit for royalty. Her look was a blend of various inspirations, creating a stunning and memorable ensemble. Despite some design quirks, her finale look was a triumph.
