10 fierce 'Drag Race' looks that we never saw on the actual show

April Carrión (Season 6)

It was actually quite hard to track down a good picture of this unaired look from April Carrión in season 6, but we absolutely had to include it. In many ways, April is the Drag Race pioneer who started sharing her runway looks for each category on the show after she was eliminated. This gesture was truly revolutionary, as it immediately became the norm for pretty much all queens in future seasons.

Manila Luzon (‘All Stars 4’)

This look — and revelation — from Manila Luzon, which was planned for All Stars 4, sent shockwaves across the fandom. “Ru said my ORIGINAL Curves & Swerves Runway look was in ‘bad taste’ and production told me to wear my back up,” Manila wrote on Instagram. “I was really looking forward to wearing this gown that I think celebrates a perfectly normal human experience!”

She continued, “Many of my fans are young women who may feel pressured by society to be embarrassed by periods. It’s empowering to teach young women about their bodies, encourage them to celebrate them AND to question people who tell them not to! My goal with this look was to normalize menstruation by looking sick’ning even if I was on my period!”

Kimora Hall (Season 13)

Honestly, the entire runway package that Kimora Hall brought to season 13 of Drag Race could’ve probably qualify for this list. But if we had to pick one that absolutely stood out and had the fandom shaking in their boots, that was Kimora’s look for the roast episode of the season. I mean… pure PERFECTION.

Maddy Morphosis (Season 14)

Category was “Chaps on the Runway”! Maddy Morphosis was unfortunately not able to walk the runway of Drag Race season 14 episode 7 wearing this outfit, but the fans absolutely freaked out with how incredible and polished this look was.

Plasma (Season 16)

Plasma received certain critiques that her looks were more “theatrical” than over-the-top drag — but her unaired look for the “DragCon 1980” runway category absolutely dismantled those ideas about her aesthetic. “Inspired by my mama, who was a twirler at @texastech in the 80s & 90s (plus a little vintage @jeanpaulgaultier) I wanted to capture what I miss most about my home state: the wide open sky,” she wrote in the caption.
