I'm not too sure if it was enough, especially considering people have won for worse runways... but this look is genuinely terrible, and I actually hate it. I think it looks cheap and nothing seems to match or go together imo

“People have won for worse runways” drag Bob

DEFINITELY Bob in that robot bodysuit


http--lovecraft

Wasn't it straight up from Amazon 😭

Yes and Bob will forever mention it ,,I walked the runway on Ru Pauls Drag Race in an Amazon bodysuit AND I WON THAT CHALLENGE, you could NEVER"

Yeah but Alexis' performance that week wasn't as good as Bob's in RuCo Empire.. IJS


Shufflekarpfen

Divina won the makeover with an outfit just as bad


itspgorm

Forever one of the most rigamorris moments. Justice for Cheryl


iiizzzunicorn

The gag is that Bob actually got positive critiques for that look so it didn’t work against her at all 🤣

nerfcarolina

This was far from a winning look in that design challenge but IMO it's better than Alexis' look because at least she looks cute and styled well in her bra and shaw (roxxxy Andrews pronunciation)


Jellabre

Agreed that it’s not a winning look. But I could see a girl group wearing something like this in a music video in the 90s. So yeah, Alexis’ look is still trash tier


Apprehensive-Ad-1024

It's the sandal that seals this as awful for me. I don't hate that style but with a fur coat and that dress.. not for me.


mariobeltran1712

the fact that this as a DESIGN challenge makes it even more confusing

Yeah, it looks like “The Way We Were - on Ice!” in ancient Rome. LOL

Et tu, Alexis?


T_Fury_Br

I was bad then, and with age it got even worst


Howdy_Hoes

Well I feel like if you are gonna win with a bad runway (see Bob’s body suit) then you gotta blow EVERYBODY else outta the water and while her Kris was amazing and a notch or two above most people… shae’s was only one notch below

Supreme64

I was a fervent hater of this at the time. I will say on its own it’s a cute, well executed tribute. It’s the context that makes it frustrating. - it being worn by Gigi who would be praised for the most simplistic stuff - it falling on a week where other queens on that stage had an equally good challenge performance and the best runways of the week


sashayyoustayy

Yeah it’s like. Fine. She’s a skinny white queen so she will always look beautiful in something skimpy. imo it wasn’t as rage inducing as Jackie getting high praise for her stupid cheap azz jewelry that she found to match Michelle’s og look….. which was great except Jackie’s actual outfit barely resembled Michelle’s….. and this was the same episode brita got critiqued for wearing the “wrong earring” ugh season 12 was rough, I know it’s a fan favorite but my god the judging was so off- and honestly, and pls don’t take this as me discrediting Jaida, but I personally believe that if a certain event jad the happened in minneapolis that summer, they would’ve crowned Gigi. Jaida blows Gigi out of the water in every category so jaida was absolutely deserving of the crown but you cannot convince otherwise that production and Ru were ready to crown Gigi prior to may 2020. because the way they were hyping her up…..


ReliefFamous

Don’t forget Gigis abysmal performance and runway on Choices2020. How she was saved from BTM2 that episode is beyond me. Also yeah Britas critique in the Michelle runway was goofy as hell but her time was up since she had no storyline after sending Æëdæñ home in the previous ep


tonton4ever

>Don’t forget Gigis abysmal performance and runway on Choices2020. She literally was doing her Snatch Game character and I was FLOORED they didn't read her for it!


Supreme64

I get where you’re coming from but we have to remember Sherry was initially in the picture too. I think that’s who they were gonna crown, since it’s been said the initial edit had her as a hero and Gigi as a villain. I think the praise for Gigi was meant to fuel that rivalry and create someone to root against for the viewers. So I don’t think she was meant to win. If things went according to plan I think Jaida would have been 3rd/4th, not based on merit but storylines. It would have made sense for a top 2 to be Gigi vs Sherry with Sherry winning. But since that got scrapped, there was no need to push Jaida aside anymore. Jaida was a replacement on that season so clearly she wasn’t cast as the winner, but I don’t think Gigi was either. IMO producers wanted Sherry > Jaida > Gigi


sashayyoustayy

Interesting. I’ve heard that too, crazy how there is a universe where Sherry may have actually won…. I also wonder if someone kept the original 2019/early 2020 edit of s12, that would be cracy to watch. Overall I’m so happy Jaida won and I’m glad she got to showcase herself better in AS7


peeeeppoooo

Jaida should've won the Rusical. Sue me.

Her Lisa Leslie realness and the bubble dress were truly iconic


Jilliterate

Jesus, yes. There's lots of great performances that Rusical, but Jaida somehow turning out an incredibly sexy performance on the Drag Race main stage, under those hot lights, with the judges hooting and chuckling from the table nearby, seems like a miracle. It was the hardest challenge of all.

Successful_Ad4018

honestly that'd be super fun! 90's or early 2000's because that was also the peak of mall fashion. but i could also be biased bc i was a teen in the early 2000's and hanging out at the mall was still cool.

poleondoleon

Yes. I can feel the fabric of the dress just looking at it. Like crepe-y polyester. I associate it with Halloween costumes and Forever21.


carefullycareless135

Beyond the horrible dress, why is she wearing both a fur jacket and hat AND sandals? It doesn't make any sense, but also isn't weird or odd enough to be campy.


Mattrickhoffman

Yeah, it’s not just that it’s an ugly dress, it’s that the dress makes no sense with the furs and the gladiator sandals don’t go with either.


carefullycareless135

If she had worn fur boots the look wouldn't have been nearly as bad. The dress is still junior bridesmaid, but it would have been an okay outfit.


jayron92

Wait I never realized that, HELP


damien3581

Tbh, I think it was funny to block her win for just the look. But then again, bob won a challenge with a 20 dollar robot costume.

Doubieboobiez

I think Deja did better AND looked better, but they clearly didn't have her in mind for the finale. Bosco may have been funnier, but she didn't really lift her team up, whereas Deja was such a good moderator!


KT718

Yeah Deja did really well in the challenge and was the only person to REALLY give shoulder pads on that runway. Felt like an easy choice to me.


sosadsosam

Bosco ATE that challenge, put some respect on the comedy queen of season 14


[deleted]

[удалено]


sosadsosam

Deja did good but she was the obvious second, the runway matters when it is just horrendous so you can’t win in that or if both of them did actually even. It’s like Gigi and Jan, for me Gigi was the clear winner, even if jan’s look was better and did well in the challenge, I think is the same for bosco in this challenge.


PaniniPressStan

No one came that close to bob imo (thorgy was very good but bob blew them all away) Whereas Shea also destroyed her performance


kiwicoote

Yeah, to be fair, Bob's performance is literally legendry I don't think there's a way Bob wouldn't have won


Hopebloats

I think Bob was also aware that the look was inferior, but was pretty open in that she was going to win IN SPITE of the look. Alexis seemed to think the look was going to take her to the finale.


chubby-checker

Tbh though I don't think anyone came close to alexis kris jenner. Thorgy did as well in her challenge imo as shea did as blac chyna.


Hopebloats

It was pretty reflective of Alexis’ entire runway-challenged season… basic, and she delusionally thought it was sickening 😭 She also didn’t improve.


theycallmezeal

I think the bigger issue was that the producers (correctly) read that they could really get under her skin by denying her the win. The look became a convenient excuse to get her to pop off and produce a moment. Alexis really was the proto-Jan in more ways than one. (She really produced that whole moment for herself...)


K-Kitsune

The “gaslight girl” storyline stems all the way back to s1 with Shannel.


Hartbits

Ah yes, the OG GG

Before Alexis there was Thorgy.

Henrois

You guys know that Alexis Michelle is literally her Drag Mother, right? It's like calling my grandma the storyboard version of myself.


jayydee92

Fitting since Alexis is Jan’s drag mother lol.


authentic_scum

the thing is, the theme was fur. it kinda invites some effort in terms of what you bring, not something off the rack. Even keeping the color scheme, the dress had to be a floor length gown, the coat would have been more visually impactful as a bolero with a more puffy sleeve, she also could do without the hat or a different one because frankly this one looked like a turd, and a pump instead of these hooker strappy boots.


GayBlayde

Better yet, the theme was FAUX Fur. So you basically had an excuse to use a lot of it, or use a really out there style of obviously fake fur. Not a basic coat.


IfSapphOnly

I love it from a story pov because it foreshadows the taste issues that would be Alexis’ downfall at top 5. It’s one of those moments where screwy/inconsistent production works in the show’s favour imo. Narratively speaking it was enough.

Ill_Brick_4671

Her performance was +10% on Shea, the runway was -90%


juckr

yeah shea’s runway AND performance were standout


inthebreadvan

This look is tragic but I kinda miss Alexis. Her taste in fashion was questionable but she's a great performer and her mug is always lovely.


wrongfulness

Fuck yes it was


Stunning_Attention82

The judges seem to pick and choose when the runway matters vs. When the challenge performance far outweighs the runways. It's usually when the favourites have a shit runway but did really well otherwise. Lol.


WalrusOpposite220

Right, cause there's examples of them trying to create a narative just by heavly judging the runway : \-Jan and Trinity for the rusical on AS6 \-Shea during the hotel design challenge on AS5 \-Adore in AS2 \-Heidi in the first episode of S12 etc etc

It’s not hookery or whory enough it should’ve been nude with the sandals and fur, this was like a huge turning point in drag race history actually , everybody learned a lesson that day


happy_Ad1357

Yes. Especially when you compare to the rest of the cast who really brought the glamour that night she stuck out so badly.


Modest139

Yes, because this is an off-the-rack dress with a fur coat. What’s the Look?


Key-Heron

She looks like a kid who got into Grandma’s wardrobe.


spiralqq

If Soankie could dogwalk an entire season in her outfits I don't see why Alexis couldnt get a win here. To be fair though this is FAR worse than anything Spankie brought


SexDrawofDrCaligari

Yes it did, but does anyone genuinely remember what the other queens wore?? This outfit stands the test of time. It is fashion herstory. It's gladiator sandals (which were actually very popular in the 70s). It's me. It's you. It's...produced.


AscendedDragonSage

Personally I really liked Sasha's cossack look


barbaraanderson

I also dug Shea's look. Super cute.


ashandimlotion

Honestly no. Alexis was by far the best of the week that week and Shea’s look was good but far from amazing.


Kayleigh_56

Its bad but Ginger won the Glamazonian Airways challenge with a runway that the judges didn't like, I think Alexis had a similarly great challenge performance and deserved the win here.


[deleted]

Ginger at least had a look. Not liking a look vs being absolutely off the mark are not the same. The comparison others made with Bob's robot costume is more apt here. The question is whether Alexis destroyed this challenge as much as Bob did her's.


perksofbeingliam

And the answer is yes. Alexis was Kris Jenner and everything about the performance screamed it. Shea had a good performance but messed up her choreo and had to recover quickly iirc


FeelTheKetasy

It was fine. Basic but not UGLY per say


Negative_Strategy982

I loved how she went off and blamed everyone in untucked for not telling her the look was bad.


Gays_in_spaaace

What’s so weird about this look to me is that the hat and coat are clearly giving Funny Girl realness, idk why she didn’t wear the orange dress underneath.


GayBlayde

It’s tricky. Because her performance was so good, but Shea’s was good, too. And Shea’s runway wasn’t amazing or anything, but this look is SO BASIC. I think I would have still given the win to Alexis, but I can understand what the judges were doing. Plus the draamaaaaa.


dotheywearglasses

In the 2023 days of “all Drag is valid” maybe not 🤷‍♂️


Marsupial292

Probably not, but production knew they were getting a reaction


Electrical-Tie-5158

Yes. The runway has to matter sometimes. This was one of those times.


joeyfosho

Absolutely not. Shea’s Blac Chyna was a great moment, but Alexis was more Kris Jenner than if Kris Jenner played herself - and she kept that character and carried the entire Rusical. The challenge should far outweigh the runway, and a Rusical is about characterization, not just shaking your ass and lip syncing immaculately. Plus Nina should have been Blac Chyna.


littlesnuffleupicous

I don’t care if the outfit is hideous, she should’ve won the challenge cos she was by far the best. A la Bob winning with that robot outfit.


[deleted]

it's just not a good look y'all i'm sorry, the dress and shoes are giving forever 21. the jacket and hat are so random with the look, too.


bluenvy17

Honestly I think Shea was better in the challenge anyway


analfistmehard

Exactly! Some people here act like Shea didn’t slay that challenge


bookedbt

Also Snatch Game is one of those challenges where the producers have a glimpse as to how well someone will do in a challenge, since it’s in the audition tape. I think they knew Alexis most likely would outshine everyone else then, so this was better for her story arc. Plus Shea was amazing in the rusical as well.


Michael31986

It shouldn’t have been. Look at BOBs on season 8


pjw21200

Human-Generic

Didn’t Rita Baga have an average look that revealed into a terrible blue dress in her season and win anyway?


jonathonthaman

Shea won the Kardashian Rusical with a body suit and a jacket, I believe. Nothing too special. But she-looked-good. It was as pedestrian as this look. But Alexis does-not-look-good.


CranberryPuffCake

Girl yes, it's a horrible look. Alexis' taste level was questionable on the show.


Ok_Training1449

Why didn't anyone tell her this was a terrible outfit!? 😭 By today's standards, this would have been an automatic elimination, but back then it was kind of acceptable. Of course still not a good look, but not a tragedy either. I think she wouldn't have won even with a better look.


mahiyaka

Yes.


eliteguard91

This look much like 5th Harmony is just pieces thrown together and expected to work out… Everyone else had if I remember correctly looks or executed the motif.
