RuPaul’s Drag Race review: And may the best magician win!

Category Is: Caftan Realness

On the runway this week, it was caftan realness! After weeks of the judges telling them to watch out for their silhouettes and padding, they had to throw out all that growth and put on a shapeless mumu. But the girls made it glamour!

The two standouts for me were definitely Brooke Lynn, who looked stunning in a flowy purple caftan with a flashy gold bra and a glamorous blonde wig, and Miss Vanjie, who wore an animal print caftan complete with turban, gold jewerly and a large septum ring. It was very high fashion meets millionaire divorcee vacationing on the French Riviera!

It seems like A’keria misunderstood the assignment because she wore pants and a butterfly cape, which was definitely not a caftan! Shuga rocked a fur-trimmed outfit, which the judges loved, but then did a reveal of a more spring-appropriate caftan — and then did ANOTHER reveal to show off a bathing suit and cover-up. It may have been too much, especially considering how gag-worthy her first look was.
