Season 3
The Value of Resourcefulness and Style
Every Drag Race fan knows Season 3 as the season of the sewing challenges. With a whopping four garment-design based challenges, it’s no surprise that at the head of the competition were conceptual fashion plates Yara Sofia, Manila Luzon and the winner herself, Raja. From Manila Luzon’s literal but beautiful Big Bird and Pineapple ensembles, to Yara Sofia’s gravity-defying hair contraptions, to pretty much everything Raja dawned, this was a season of design and fashion that still lives in our hearts years later.
And the legendary battle of Heathers vs Boogers would beg the question of how important looks were over other entertainment values in the competition. But with the two most en pointe queens battling it out in a lip sync to RuPaul’s “Champion” for the crown in the end, it was a sure sign that this show was going to not only take the artistry of design and the world of fashion seriously, but also turn it on its head.
