So far, 10 episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 have been released. While viewers thought the fashion couldn’t get any crazier, this group of drag queens brought even more creativity to the runway. Before we move onto episode 11, let’s take a look back at the greatest runway looks to date. They are well worth a closer lewk.
RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 is different from the other seasons for several reasons. First, the contestants are competing amidst an international crisis and this is causing difficulties for the queens. Second, many of the challenges were altered this season. Despite these additional hurdles, all of their queens brought their A-games to the runway. Some of these looks may not have been enough to win the maxi challenge, but they’ll still go down in fashion herstory.
Episode 1 - Symone’s Polaroid Dress
Symone entered the competition in one of the most interesting dresses. Her look was composed of mini Polaroids of herself that were tied together to make a mini dress. This revealing outfit got noticed. It was a creative choice.
Episode 2 - Tina Burner’s Tin Man Outfit
Audiences were getting sick of Tina Burner’s red, orange and yellow aesthetic. Then, she wowed judges with her 100% silver tin man look. The outfit was complete with an ax blade-like purse. Of course, there was a deep red bleeding heart.
Episode 3 - Rosé’s Alexander McQueen-Inspired Look
In the third episode, queens were asked to show off various looks. Rosé wore an Alexander McQueen-inspired dress that was red and black. The headpiece was definitely the most unique part of the whole look. This ensemble was edgy.
Episode 4 - Kahmora Hall Dragon Lady Dress
Even though Kahmora Hall was eliminated while wearing this dress, it was a fantastic runway look. The gold color and dragon spike detail on the train was everything. The delicate fan was a nice touch. So was this queen's scarlet lipstick.
Episode 5 - Elliott with 2 Ts’ Gift Bag Outfit
The challenge in this episode was to create a look that was inspired by some sort of bag. Elliott with 2 Ts chose a gift bag. It was one of those cheap gift bags found at dollar stores. Her look was adorable. Her name tag bag was the cherry on top.
Episode 6 - Denali’s Black Widow Look
For the little black dress challenge, Denali went dark and ominous. She chose a black widow-inspired outfit. There was beading all over the dress that mimicked a spiderweb. The professional figure skater Denali, who never made it to the Olympics, put extra eyes on her forehead to look the part.
Episode 7 - LaLa Ri’s Beaded Dress
LaLa Ri’s beaded dress was so fun and energetic. She really knew how to dance in it. Her big hair was an excellent contrast to the little outfit. This look really stood out.
Episode 8 - Gottmik’s Crash Dummy Outfit
Leave it up to the "disco queen" Gottmik to think of the most bizarre outfits. Their crash dummy look was super innovative and they walked the runway robotically, selling the garment. Gottmik joked that their whole body was covered in latex, except for their face, which was covered in makeup.
Episode 9 - Kandy Muse’s Checkered Look
The fabric of Kandy Muse’s checkered dress has been seen time and time again in the world of fashion. However, the shape of the dress was super-unique. The feathered headpiece that spelled out Muse was a great touch, too. It was the perfect addition to an interesting lewk.
Episode 10 - Utica’s Animal Print Outfit
In this week, the queens were paired with one another. They were required to make each other over using their signature drag brand. Utica and Symone were partners and admitted that they took some risks with each other’s looks. They did so well in the challenge. RuPaul's Drag Race star Utica looked fantastic in the Symone-inspired animal print suit.
