Roxxxy Andrews: Latex Extravaganza (All Stars 2, Episode 2)
Shapely.
Probably terrifying in person.
The hat, the jewelry, and the chaps-boots hybrid are all to die for.
Extra points to Sasha for painting in some gaps on her teeth.
The fact that it really looks to be a part of her face when she talks is mind-blowing.
Same goes for the acid-neon hair, which is something special and something else.
The shape, the color, and the cheeky jewelry placement all make a compelling case for her victory.
A fully realized character that fully supplemented her crying on the runway during that weeks judging.
Vivacious: Entrance Look (Season 6, Episode 1)
The head stack seen round the world.
Dont sleep on Ornacia.

We also love her in this hair!
She does glam so, so well.

This is her best look.
Imagine this walking the runway?
Shes an absolute beast.
It paid off in spades.
Kill us, Trinity!
Simple, singular, and hilarious.
She is, with all due respect, a hot piece of ass.
Like a polite hooker angel.
Tatianna: Lip-Sync Number (All Stars 2, Episode 5)
Speaking of angelic fish!
Tatianna got most of her good notices on this episode for slaying the lip sync versus Alyssa.
Aquaria: Best Drag (Season 10, Episode 2)
This look pulls focus in ingenious ways.
Extra points for selling Michelle Visage on a green color story.
The queen has blossomed.
An amazing ending to arguably the strongest runway season of any queen in the herstory of the show.
She always looked flawless, or at least edible.
Its so bad that its great.
This was the moment in season ten that confirmed Eurekas inclusion wasnt novelty; she came to win.
Were gagged for Gettysburg, babe.
We appreciate how effortless this looks, and her bouncy hair and season-long bindi motif all culminate beautifully.
Kameron is an incredible makeup artist, and here it appears her face is literally iced over.
flipping the bird, because this was a highlight for Ms. Moans otherwise mediocre run.
Bring her out on the palanquin, honey.
Thank you, Mother.
This Comme des Garconsinspired outfit was sartorial excellence, and that button lip launched a thousand makeup tutorial videos.
Harajuku Raven, you got the wicked style.
That she was able to make the kitten heel iconic in the lip sync is crown-worthy alone.
This is something we didnt even get close to onAll Stars 3.
Thats a superstar alien queen diva who would eat Sigourney alive, bitch.
Behave yourself in her home.
Miz Cracker: Best Drag (Season 10, Episode 2)
Rectangle girls of the world, rejoice!
The box-shaped hair is the main event, but dont sleep on everything happening below the neck.
Shes a horror-show actress, and an Oscar-worthy one in this performance as a filler-obsessed freak.
Alaska brought a fan-favorite character to life because she is an actress, too.
CableACE Award caliber at the very least.
We love you, Lil Poundcake.
What could describe this queen more aptly?
And that poodle hair!
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
When Pearl nailed, she nailed.
And a dead pirate hooker?
Alaska: Candy Couture (Season 5, Episode 11)
Delicious.
Classic Alaska in that it felt familiar but had never been seen before.
Kameron Michaels: Feathers Runway (Season 10, Episode 3)
Mad Maxvillainess fish.
It feels apocalyptic and dangerous, which is a world we would later discover that Kameron revisits often.
All hail the queen of the winged beasts!
One of the best looks from one of the best overall runways of the series.
All the girls did well!
Sign us and fire us and cancel our book advance, Mother.
It bears repeating that for all Maxs forced on-camera quirks, she was no slouch on the runway.
Miss Fame: Fall Fashion Week (Season 7, Episode 1)
Three words: looped feather headpiece.
Every plume is a blessing, sweetie.
Throw in some ritzy earrings with long gloves and youve got yourself an ensemble worthy of a coffee-table book.
The wide neckline flatters Eurekas bust, and the pauldrons on the cape give this a stunning silhouette.
Dont keep it on, Valentina.
Shea made a utility belt high fashion, for David Hodos sake.
The oversize, fanned-out collar is classic Bianca, and the whole thing is an Emma Frost gag.
Violet Chachki: Leather and Lace (Season 7, Episode 7)
We would let her hurt us.
This is too glamorous for the Oscars.
Thats a biological movie star supermodel diva legend.
Naomi was giving you fashion here, and this was her breakout moment.
If this didnt slay the way it did, she wouldnt have made the finale.

Shell almost definitely be buried in this.

She looked like a beautiful sex fish.
If the fish-man inThe Shape of Waterlooked like Acid did here, maybe wed get it.
Maybe then wed have likedThe Shape of Water.
This was neon creature eleganza and she is a real artist.
This one breaststrokes us in all the right places.
As far as reunion looks go, this one stands out even five years later.
The thigh-high boots, the ruffled pinstripes, and good God, that makeup?
Its just not fair.
A toot for all time.
Haters, youve been read.
You know, just to see what shes up to!
Because she put a shoe on top of her head once and it worked.
And its a three-in-one!
Your fave could never.
There is a character here, as there were in all of Aquarias runway looks.
Valentina: White Party Realness (Season 9, Episode 2)

This was the smile that launched a thousand rose emojis.
This was the look that truly gave us La Valentina, in all her divadom and tragedy.
Remember feeling like she was going to win?
Are we reading into this way too much?
But its fun to think of Aquaria as a world-weary drag activist.
Conscious, concerned queen!
You know she could have turned out a gorgeous, straightforward mermaid look, but she didnt.
Aquaria never went the easy route.
This was cool and retro and club kid and technical and drag queen all at once.
She looks like what we hope the robot maid in a live-action reboot ofThe Jetsonsmight be.
(That was,at least one point, really happening, by the way.)
This is drag maximalism at its best.

Stars and crisscrossed stripes forever.
And its the best her hair has ever looked.

Its trending, honey!
Phasers set tostun, hun.

A turning point for the series.
This was shocking, frightening, and refreshingly on-brand.
I really could die, bitch.
Im giving you realness.
You have to believe thats true.
This is years of waist-training at play, and Rose DeWitt Bukaters mother would be thrilled.
Maybe its not too late.
Raja: Fabulous Drag (Season 3, Episode 5)
Let them eat cake, indeed.
The reaction that this Marie Antoinetteinspired moment received from the judges was entirely warranted.
Its well-constructed, well-worn and well-performed.
This is royal, honey.
It felt alive, almost as if it were enjoying the attention it was getting.
Lucky for you, you’re able to attempt this very look at home aftera trip to Ikea.
Roxxxy basically had a spot in the top three sewn up with this look, and for good reason.
Thick and juicy doesnt even begin to describe this queen.
Honey, inthisspace, everyone can hear us scream!
Its unforgettable, and theres an entire dissertation on queer intersectionality begging to be written about it.
(Wed do it ourselves, but we have a thing.)
Fly away, bitch.
And to say nothing of the black shoulder pads!
She served it, officially.
Violet Chachki: Reunion Finale (Season 8, Episode 10)
