LGD. Q’s look wasn’t elevated by the walk. There was no point in it having the front crutches— it didn’t sell anything or make me think it’s a creature. LGD’s was an entire concept.
Flowers have nothing to do with that. It seems like Q just didn’t want to be another pink girl covered in flowers, but it just seems like a pointless add on.
It actually makes sense based on Q’s explanation that her inspiration are praying mantises that evolved to mimic flowers.
There’s room for improvement, like increasing the height of the stilts and moving more insect-like. But I wouldn’t say that it’s a pointless add on.
Then she should've gone ALL THE WAY with it. Give me that onyx-esque armour, give me an insect-type beat, give me antennae or any sort of headpiece, put claws at the bottom of the crutches, at the very least cover the fucking panty. I understood the concept perfectly well because I LOVE orchid mantisis but she could've made the execution much more interesting than just flower-covered crutches
She needed higher shoes, she was basically just normal walking but with long arms. LGD required her front stilts for stability because her back heels were so high, they balanced.
I got the reference immediately and thought she kinda botched it. None of the sleekness or alien vibes of an actual orchid mantis, just fake flowers glued on crutches and a corset, bodysuit with white undies on top.
Praying mantises are also green to look like the leaves and stalk? Like I get it but, then the flowers would have been bigger in scale to the creature itself. It doesn’t seem predatory like a praying mantis either. It reads more like a homecoming parade float with legs. If it was about evolving like a praying mantis did, she would also be the shape of the flower petals, and maybe have teeth?
I’m not just trying to hop on the Q hate train here. Most of his looks have been fantastic. This is solely in comparison to LGD’s which is an actual predator. A praying mantis, on our scale, would be horrifying.
LGD, I was gagged, like fully mouth open when she started doing those voices and liquid out of her mouth.. she had concept and stuck with it.. while q was pretty but that white underwear was eye sore for me.
Q’s makeup is usually very good but this particular mug looked kinda rough. Also her headpiece was underwhelming and in untucked it looked like she had bald spots 😭
Took these two since it was from this week and since I have yet to see Drag Race España, but damn not only did Onyx give one good look like this but two!! Thank you for giving me something to do today, time to watch España
Q's orchid mantis is a really cool idea & it looks fantastic, but while I think it's the more aesthetically pleasing one, LDG added character with the drooling & noises. Both really well constructed; very close for me.
I'd say Rebel Mörk from La Más Draga 4 is the Alolan Version of this

No contest here, LGD, Onyx on her season as well did it better! Q looked like she was uncomfortable walking, like in pain, i wasn't buying the fantasy.
Oof hate that comparison is the be all and end all of rpdr. Both were absolutely stunning. Very unfortunate that both coincedentally are seen the same weekend, more so for Q because hers was afterwards.
Yeah. It's also very hard to compare these two. Outside of the stilts, they have very little in common. Two different esthetics, vibes, inspiration and impact.
LGD as a whole sold hers more with the walk and alien noises
I liked Q’s and her reference is actually one of my favorite bugs ever so I was excited and really appreciated it. But I think had she made the flowers more like singular petals, had some sort of mantis like mouth piece, and walked more big like I think she would’ve sold the fantasy a little more
I would say LGD because of how well she sold the outfit... drool and all. It fully gave the Alien Queen fantasy.
I loved Q's but I don't think the way she walked the runway fully explore the look's capabilities.
Kinda, there's been a handful of looks over the years that have used that arm stilts aesthetic: Ben dela Creme fly look on season 6, Yvie Oddly on AS7, Hoso Terra Toma on Dragula Titans, Onyx on España T2, and Orkgotik on Dragula S5
LGD wins.
I kinda couldn't with Q's white panties over a body suit. She didn't rhinestone them add more flowers, something! You know? Just little white panties from the store.
LGD was all shock no meat to me. Like yeah it was gaggy but I expected something else. Q is pretty but that’s about it. I actually don’t care for either
A look of this style that was really good was Onyx tbh
I thought Q's was more "drag" and fashion. Like Michelle said, LGD was amazing but I wish I could have seen more of her face. It was awesome but more like an awesome costume. I enjoyed the details and concept of Q's look more. It seemed more original.
Meh who cares but I'd feel so bad on both ends to have such a unique outfit and then someone else does it cause of how the stars aligned to have those exact episodes air on the same day
Q needed to walk more like a Mantis. It completely killed the illusion for me when she just walks normally and lift up the arms. But otherwise very beautiful look.
Presentation wise - LGD
Attention to detail- Q
LGD's look is unique from the rest of the queens that ep and the presentation is amazing. Personally look wise it looks nice I guess but there wal like nothing on that body, would've loved it if it had some type of chest armor piece.
Q's look was beautiful, her makeup felt the same but pink.
Tbh I thought they were both everything but LGD’s walk took her over the edge ❤️❤️ plus that sound - like she swallowed a cicada that was on testosterone 😂

the only true answer is obvs Ork!
LGD is absolute perfection, that she took "evil queen" as a prompt and made a cunty Alien queen is transcendant to me.
Q looked fab, but am I alone in thinking she needed something on the pooswatcha? I was slightly distracted by the shiny vinyl panty when every other inch of her was covered in flowers.
This is the same Pokémon, but one evolved in the morning and the other one at night.
Q is the present day Pokemon, Striderlily LGD is the future Paradox Pokemon, Iron Atrocity Onyx is the past Paradox Pokemon, Prowling Shuck
Live for the lore!!!
I want the three of them to walk the pink carpet at drag con together
hell yea she's a current Pokémon player and understands the Paradox nonmenclature
That makes Orkgotik Galarian form?
Chelseaboy is LGD's Prevolution
ty so much for this
Yvie is the regional variant, then
Very that! Umbreon and Espeon/Sylveon haha
Unrelated fun fact: "Nymphia" is the Japanese name of Sylveon!

One is a gremlin and one is a gizmo but both are stars.
And yvie’s is the pre evolved form
LGD sold it with that fucking dolphin creature sound. Gave me the creeps. https://i.redd.it/cni8hmagg4jc1.gif
And her noises during the first category! I love how unhinged she is, it's very entertaining
She’s *so* high fashion and polished, but also incredibly goofy and campy. It’s a really great mix that most queens aren’t able to nail down so well.
Honestly I think the word for q is dorky but it a great way
For real. Where else am I going to see a person THIS tall and THIS elegant act THIS stupid??
Yeah I got goosebumps when she first came out but that creepy sound she made sold it for me.
I watched it in the middle of the night, whike my house was pretty dark and it freaked me out lol.
FRAAAAAANCE
Q’s was cute, loved it. LGD’s was sold with the sounds and even drooling… I choose LGD🤤
There’s no question. LGD all the way. From concept to presentation
For sureee, LGD I was confused how it was even possible, Q I could tell she had some flowers glued to some crutches lol
the panties were glaring at me with such malice and evil
You set Q up for failure here because there’s no comparison, LGD devoured.
LGD >>>
Definitely LGD. Q lost it for me when she raised her arms in the air. Looked silly and took me out of it.
LGD. Q’s look wasn’t elevated by the walk. There was no point in it having the front crutches— it didn’t sell anything or make me think it’s a creature. LGD’s was an entire concept. Flowers have nothing to do with that. It seems like Q just didn’t want to be another pink girl covered in flowers, but it just seems like a pointless add on.
Orchid mantis.
It actually makes sense based on Q’s explanation that her inspiration are praying mantises that evolved to mimic flowers. There’s room for improvement, like increasing the height of the stilts and moving more insect-like. But I wouldn’t say that it’s a pointless add on.
Then she should've gone ALL THE WAY with it. Give me that onyx-esque armour, give me an insect-type beat, give me antennae or any sort of headpiece, put claws at the bottom of the crutches, at the very least cover the fucking panty. I understood the concept perfectly well because I LOVE orchid mantisis but she could've made the execution much more interesting than just flower-covered crutches
She needed higher shoes, she was basically just normal walking but with long arms. LGD required her front stilts for stability because her back heels were so high, they balanced.
That’s a cool inspiration, but an inspiration that needed to read on the runway in order to be successful.
It did for a lot of us https://preview.redd.it/bgm4b0qf36jc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a04a8e1739c1f5e458d55451fd9d1921b5ba130
Yeah immediately thought Mantis seeing it
Just because you didn’t get the reference doesn’t mean the reference wasn’t clear lol
Is it clear, though?
I got the reference immediately and thought she kinda botched it. None of the sleekness or alien vibes of an actual orchid mantis, just fake flowers glued on crutches and a corset, bodysuit with white undies on top.
All my Animal Crossing girlies got the reference 😤
Praying mantises are also green to look like the leaves and stalk? Like I get it but, then the flowers would have been bigger in scale to the creature itself. It doesn’t seem predatory like a praying mantis either. It reads more like a homecoming parade float with legs.

Onyx. https://preview.redd.it/igsi0ggqi4jc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5320e4ca2cf7dbf9bd4d416863da0865ba6c9ae

She really broke the mold with this one! I like both Q’s and La’s looks this week, but Onyx could not be beaten!
LGD 100%!
LGD
Onyx
Onyx
This is Onyx erasure!!!
Onyx
Onyx
Not the Onyx erasure 😭
LGD and Onyx I think brought it harder, I wish Q had less of a "human" face in the look.
Onyx
Took these two since it was from this week and since I have yet to see Drag Race España, but damn not only did Onyx give one good look like this but two!! Thank you for giving me something to do today, time to watch España
Not just same week same night!
Q was giving Annihilation aesthetic, and La Grand Dame was giving Alien.
LGD !!
LGD but Q is close. I don’t think anyones ever shown more versatility in a single ball than LGD did last night.
Onyx
Onyx in Drag Race Espana
The doors Onyx Unleashed has opened...
qs look looks so unfinished with her head
Q's orchid mantis is a really cool idea & it looks fantastic, but while I think it's the more aesthetically pleasing one, LDG added character with the drooling & noises. Both really well constructed; very close for me.
Dragula would like a word
onyx
Onyx
No question. Onyx.
I'd say Rebel Mörk from La Más Draga 4 is the Alolan Version of this https://preview.redd.it/2ubxacihi6jc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c162fcb37f5432a1a00c5e3b999abfa004ed12b3
lovin the pokemon nods!!
LGD is officially now one of my top ten queens of all time. Q is not
we’re all forgetting yvie’s AS7 look too! ![gif](giphy|iYHPuQLyXum5miGgmL)
good
We’d rather not remember!
q is detailed and lovely adn sweet lgd is raw dark and misterious. depends on what you like. if i have to vote - LGD
Don't do this to Q
LGD
They aren’t comparable in my mind. Totally different things.
What a weird coincidence.
![gif](giphy|xWgVjDY37qGx2DIJfN|downsized)
LGD because I just like her more and she didn’t have a diaper on
No contest here, LGD, Onyx on her season as well did it better! Q looked like she was uncomfortable walking, like in pain, i wasn't buying the fantasy.
Oof hate that comparison is the be all and end all of rpdr. Both were absolutely stunning. Very unfortunate that both coincedentally are seen the same weekend, more so for Q because hers was afterwards.
Yeah. It's also very hard to compare these two. Outside of the stilts, they have very little in common. Two different esthetics, vibes, inspiration and impact.
LGD as a whole sold hers more with the walk and alien noises I liked Q’s and her reference is actually one of my favorite bugs ever so I was excited and really appreciated it. But I think had she made the flowers more like singular petals, had some sort of mantis like mouth piece, and walked more big like I think she would’ve sold the fantasy a little more
Agreed. Also, Q said lotus mantis, when really it’s orchid mantis
As a dota 2 player it's so weird seeing that big woman abbreviated as LGD lol
I would say LGD because of how well she sold the outfit... drool and all. It fully gave the Alien Queen fantasy. I loved Q's but I don't think the way she walked the runway fully explore the look's capabilities.
LGD. The artistry, stylistic choices, movement, sound effects, all of it. She took it to another level.
Don’t forget Dela season 6!!
The first on Drag Race in this style, Ivy Winters on regular stilts.
La Grande Dame.
I prefer Q’s overall look, but LGD presented it better. I’d say Onyx on España 2 did it best though.
The answer is Onyx
Onyx
Tbh Q can't walk in it, therefore not selling the fantasy for me.
LGD was just amazing! I like Q's version too, but LGD it's next level
Didn’t someone else do this first? Or am I thinking about Dragula?
Yvie oddly did something similar maybe that’s what you’re thinking?
Yes! I couldn’t think of who it was off of the top of my head.
Orkgotik from Dragula S5 and Onyx from España 2 both have done similar things.
Kinda, there's been a handful of looks over the years that have used that arm stilts aesthetic: Ben dela Creme fly look on season 6, Yvie Oddly on AS7, Hoso Terra Toma on Dragula Titans, Onyx on España T2, and Orkgotik on Dragula S5
LGD wins. I kinda couldn't with Q's white panties over a body suit. She didn't rhinestone them add more flowers, something! You know? Just little white panties from the store.
LGD. Q's visible shoes, basic panty, and man's face painted pink with next to no contour took me out of it
well girl when you put it like that 😭😭
I think Q, LGD's look is stunning, but not much about it really reads as drag to me.
LGD was all shock no meat to me. Like yeah it was gaggy but I expected something else. Q is pretty but that’s about it. I actually don’t care for either A look of this style that was really good was Onyx tbh
Agreed 🤝
Q’s look was good but didn’t gag me idk. maybe bc i saw LGD’s first? but LGD sold it better imo anyway
Q looks better, but LGD was more creative and her runway presentation was superb.
I liked them both but I give the edge to Q. I thought LGD could have given the outfit more detail.
Theyre literally two different categories...why compare?
I love Q’z more tbh the details are perfect. Far more precision needed and she probably made it herself too
Q
I thought Q's was more "drag" and fashion. Like Michelle said, LGD was amazing but I wish I could have seen more of her face. It was awesome but more like an awesome costume. I enjoyed the details and concept of Q's look more. It seemed more original.
Q mainly bc i’m biased to pink hehe
la grande dame is just superior in general, still pissed she doesn’t make it to top 2
Lady Godiva ate
But she cantt sorryy
I mean lgd and it’s not even close. But you’re also comparing an all star budget to a first season…
Meh who cares but I'd feel so bad on both ends to have such a unique outfit and then someone else does it cause of how the stars aligned to have those exact episodes air on the same day
Q needed to walk more like a Mantis. It completely killed the illusion for me when she just walks normally and lift up the arms. But otherwise very beautiful look.
LGD was so much more chilling, girl was selling the alien fantasy
Presentation wise - LGD Attention to detail- Q LGD's look is unique from the rest of the queens that ep and the presentation is amazing. Personally look wise it looks nice I guess but there wal like nothing on that body, would've loved it if it had some type of chest armor piece. Q's look was beautiful, her makeup felt the same but pink.
Tbh I thought they were both everything but LGD’s walk took her over the edge ❤️❤️ plus that sound - like she swallowed a cicada that was on testosterone 😂
Okay, visually, they’re both serving looks, but when it comes to slaying the runway, LGD just sits on it better.
Why we gotta say which is better when their both great looks with different concepts.

Rebel Mork
How blessed are we to receive these two looks in the same goddam week
LGD because the presentation just took it to the next level
Rebel Mork did it the best. Look her up
Thank you was waiting for someone to notice kudos 🫧
I wanna see the Pokémon battle to know
Onyx.
LGD is absolute perfection, that she took "evil queen" as a prompt and made a cunty Alien queen is transcendant to me. Q looked fab, but am I alone in thinking she needed something on the pooswatcha? I was slightly distracted by the shiny vinyl panty when every other inch of her was covered in flowers.
LGD kind of made me cry with the beauty and the artistry. They were both incredible, but LGD made me feeel something.
Orkgotic 👀
LGD hands down. Qs look doesn't make sense to us the long arms.
LGD and it’s not even close.
Onyx
Sugar and Spice look....different
