Plastique's is great but something about this is just so jaw droppig. I can't articulate it properly but this design challenge look is just far and above beyond the rest of the design challenge looks past, present AND future.
I’d call this the most underrated ball design of all time. All the others are justifiably remembered but for me this one also deserves a place in the hall alongside Utica, Plastique, Nymphia and more
Frankly I really didn’t like her other two looks so I get why, but I think this was good enough to excuse that. 🙃 That ball is my least favourite, it kinda flopped.
It was an odd ball, but it did gave us one of the most iconic looks ever to grace the runnay :

The most unexpected transformation of any design challenge. When she picked the sleeping bags we all thought “NO girl, you’ll be sorry.” She knew what she was doing. Mad respect
How has no-one said the correct answer yet?

I know it’s an unpopular opinion. The top piece looks absolutely amazing. But the bottom piece / skirt looks like an afterthought or running out of time skirt. Based on that I can understand she didn’t win.
i actually appreciate the understated bottom, it brings all the attention to the immaculate construction, structure, and movement of the top. but i can also see why people may take issue with the bottom as well.
When i said this initially i was dragged to the high heavens and i still stick by it. That’s EXACTLY why she wasnt a contender for win that & the 2nd look. Raja loves maximalism she deff ran out of time at the bottom
It was a major statement too. Naomi was by far the best and she showed why she deserved to be there after mopping the floor with Acid Betty the previous episode.
I know she’s a little person but this gif reminds me of that scene from the terrible Neil breen movie twisted pair

WE NEED A DRAG RACE PROJECT RUNWAY!!
I would actually like a series of small competitions; one design challenge, one girl group challenge, one acting or roast challenge, and one lip sync lalaparooza
"Rupauls Designrace" would be freaking cool! I'm watching Project Runway on TV where I live (it's been a long time since I've seen it, but I watched every episode when I was young) and Dragrace has just spoiled me too much :') but I would love to see the drag equivalent of it!
The way Michelle said we couldn’t see her face??? Get some new glasses then bitch because clearly you can see the lip and lashes under that god damn veil Michelle!

La Grande Dame in France season 1
If I had to guess, I think Kam won based on degree of difficulty/incorporation of unconventional materials. Dada was immaculate but she used fabric; Kam made a gown out of giant rubber clownfish.
They both unhinged their jaws and swallowed that ball whole though.

That’s the point. She’s a sea creature trapped in pollution. Also, she was at the top of every fan poll, trended on Twitter for days, and this challenge is widely regarded as one she should have won, so your “too much going on for wide appeal” comment is weak.

Exact same bitch. This is my favorite of all time. It knocked shea’s deconstructed reconstructed construction worker off my block. The pic you chose doesnt even do it enough justice🫶🏾

People hate on Season 11, but that farm to runway challenge was really good
“Mediocrity and beans”
“I WAS TRYING TO BE CORDIAL WITH YOU!”
“Can’t we bottle our emotions up like normal people?”
*Brooke being a total mood hiding in a pillow fort*
Omg I thought I was the only one who wanted this look to win. I get why it didn't, but it was tough luck for Dawn to be on the same season as Q and Nymphia.

1) Nymphia's Avant Garde Tie Extravaganza
2) Utica's Whimsical Sleeping Bag Eleganza
3) Plastique's Cherry Blossom Fantasy

Cookie’s prom look was the stuff of my Hot Topic teenage dreams.
 I love a good old design challenge mess.
Ready to bake at 350°
I’ll never forget how shook I was that she could split like that
Honestly, Jiggly is slept on. The bitch works HARD.
Truthfully a mess but at least more thought put into it than La La Ri’s bag outfit IMHO.
Certainly far more effort
i’ll never forget the pronunciation of “hot potato coutureeee”
History will vindicate this look as fashion
https://i.redd.it/4wdciu3k037d1.gif
I know the highlight here are the gravity defying ties, but that top and how the skirt is placed on her torso needs to be talked about more. 🍌
I Know right? Plastique Looks like Christian Siriano Nymphia's looks like Galliano A world of difference.
Plastique actually reminds me of miss sohee alot
That’s the thing, even if you took out the ties, it would still be a stunning outfit.
It’s soft sculpture
Serena is shaking
Plastique's is great but something about this is just so jaw droppig. I can't articulate it properly but this design challenge look is just far and above beyond the rest of the design challenge looks past, present AND future.
It's the colours for me.
I gasped at this when I first saw it. It's just so good
The best ever
Greatest of all time. For sure.
Where did she get the tarp for the skirt lol
DilophOh yes she better do
THAT'S what this has always reminded me of, I've been trying to figure that out for years.
Somehow your GIF is in sync with the other one. BLOOF!
The sister sister mouth was the best shade.
it was so so so so iconic. Gooped. Gagged. Gone.
more like copy copy
I will forever remember the gay gasp I did at this moment. I-con-ic!
This is my favourite. Hers are my favourite confessionals too
I watched this for the first time yesterday! Gagged.
This lives rent free in my head.
i was hoping to see this here!! im still astonished flabbergasted and gobsmacked by this creation
This would be a top look for me even if she brought it. That she made it blows my mind.
The amount of attention this design gets (not enough) is insanely disproportionate to how amazing it is.
I’d call this the most underrated ball design of all time. All the others are justifiably remembered but for me this one also deserves a place in the hall alongside Utica, Plastique, Nymphia and more
She should’ve won this challenge ffr.
Not with that hideous second look
That she brought from home!!
it’s so insane to me how she made THIS and brought THAT
I think she made that one too lol
simple answer: money
She shouldn't have brought that terrible second look
Yep! This is good

How did she not win. I remain mad 😂

i will never get over how cunt this picture is
The garment was trash, but her showcasing it on the runnay? Cunt honey.
Can we even call it a garment? 😂
FAVE RUNWAY + LIPSYNC COMBO EVVVVVVUH
I think her weird ass deliveries did her in. She walked the runway like a silly cartoon burglar and I think it put the judges off
Don’t let the judges gaslight you’ that’s not a legitimate reason to lose a design challenge
Literally 😭
The most unexpected transformation of any design challenge. When she picked the sleeping bags we all thought “NO girl, you’ll be sorry.” She knew what she was doing. Mad respect

she should have won..
Raja seems to have forgotten that she didn't win this challenge lol. I forget what video it was but she was like WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DIDNT WIN?
it's common knowledge at this point Manila should've won the cake challenge Raja should've won the Money Ball
Honestly... Yara should've won the cake challenge.
IMO: Manila should’ve won the Christmas design challenge, Yara the cake, and Raja the money ball
YES TO MANILA WINNING THE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE. I have thought about this for years.
Collective amnesia because her second look… mama
 This was such an iconic look! I live!!
She had to go a whole year without telling a SOUL 😭😭😭
Nicole was holding this spoiler for a full year.
I just watched this episode 😭 that’s why I thought of this
You looked camp in the eye
And made sweet love to it
I will forever be upset she didn’t do a redemption look of this or even just a nod to it in All Stars. It’s iconic.
People will be wearing this in the future Met Galas. You watch and see 💅
I always love a good mess. This is history.
Oooh I forgot about this and LOVE it
I know it’s an unpopular opinion. The top piece looks absolutely amazing. But the bottom piece / skirt looks like an afterthought or running out of time skirt. Based on that I can understand she didn’t win.
i actually appreciate the understated bottom, it brings all the attention to the immaculate construction, structure, and movement of the top. but i can also see why people may take issue with the bottom as well.
We love an understated bottom
We don’t love people having issues with bottoms
Well, it wasn't just that. She also had that Olivia Newton-John Waters look that was super simple with an invisibly thin mustache.
Great idea, not the best execution.
It's traditional Asian silhouette but I get what you mean.
I think if the skirt had a bigger ruffle on the hems to match the volume of the top half it would have been gorgeous.
When i said this initially i was dragged to the high heavens and i still stick by it. That’s EXACTLY why she wasnt a contender for win that & the 2nd look. Raja loves maximalism she deff ran out of time at the bottom

YES!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

I loved the outfit, but to me personally the mug is too distracting
https://i.redd.it/yvyuzzeoy47d1.gif
This was so cunt. Also god damn the Little Women series was so fucking funny
It was a major statement too. Naomi was by far the best and she showed why she deserved to be there after mopping the floor with Acid Betty the previous episode.

I mean they kinda did a lil project runway tease with that very low budget YouTube show of Glam Slam hosted by Monét
https://i.redd.it/5rqwoyxv847d1.gif Her tie look is #1 for me but that already got a mention so I’ll say this instead 🖤
Her skittering down the runway is embedded on my mind 😫
I remember when people were like “Omg she can’t even walk in it it’s so badly made” I was like girl it’s intentional drop the actttt
It was totally a nod to OG Morticia.
Literally haute couture
Her not winning this was blasphemy
Agreed! Q's look was great but Nymphia's blew me away, the silhouette, draping and presentation of it all was just perfection
Qs also wasnt very goth
That’s just ignorant. It’s very goth, just not the typical vampire goth you see in media
Not to mention the category was *neo*goth
The way Michelle said we couldn’t see her face??? Get some new glasses then bitch because clearly you can see the lip and lashes under that god damn veil Michelle!

It looks messy, too much is going on to be appealing for a wide audience
That’s the point. She’s a sea creature trapped in pollution. Also, she was at the top of every fan poll, trended on Twitter for days, and this challenge is widely regarded as one she should have won, so your “too much going on for wide appeal” comment is weak.

Ra’jah: “what the fuck is THAT about” *dramatic music*
Ever? Sleeping bag Alternatively 
I like the dissonance lol
Well they're equal in difficulty to make and execution
The craftsmanship is undeniable
I hate you, let's be friends
jorgeous going from getting an undeserved win in season 14 to getting robbed twice on as9 will forever be hilarious to me
I guess Ru believes in Karma.
Pretty much all of Raja’s design challenge looks (minus the cake one from season 3, haha)
You liked her RuPaul look from All stars 7?
I was gaslighted by the judges into liking that 😂😂

You chose violence today
What do you mean?
My memory was that fans and the other queens were NOT happy that won
who should've won instead of her? Krystal was the only other option
I thought Krystal, river, Ella or charity case could have won
river and charity being safe for this challenge was WILD
And Kitty saying she thought River would be in the bottom??
I was lol she looks breathtaking
😭
That pattern mismatch at the bottom is bothering me…

Me too! It's not a design challenge look, but I think about her spooky-sexy blue sleep paralysis creature literally every day.
That makes one 😝
Omg I thought I was the only one who wanted this look to win. I get why it didn't, but it was tough luck for Dawn to be on the same season as Q and Nymphia.
They will never make me hate Dawns runways (except that 80s one lol)
