Raja, aquaria, farida kant, the countess are the fashion queens in my opinion. I feel like violets looks weren't as polished as much as I loved her she just had a good finale look, yes im aware that fashion doesn't only apply for drag race but I'm talking about internal drag race. So she had the best looks

@@alexdominguez2325 you're wrong. the two of them (and symone too) were invited to the met gala basically representing drag race because the show became this huge thing and these events have to tap into whatever's hyped in the moment. They were just the fashion queens to choose from more recent seasons. So that's not an actual reason to say they're better fashion queens. If the show was as popular as it is now when Raja was on, she would definitely have done all the things Violet and Aquaria did, and more. She was relevant even before she got on drag race. And above anything else, the truth is Raja is just OBJECTIVELY better, more creative and inventive, and she can actually build and sew garments, while Aquaria and Violet won their balls with hot glue (people conveniently forget about that) AND she was actually the blueprint for all the others (I'm sure Violet, Aquaria, etc. would actually confirm that). Anyone who knows anything about what they're talking about will admit that Raja is the one in a league above the rest.
her runways STILL hold up however many years later. she is THEE fashion queen of the franchise imo. auntie raja is about to come for allll of us on as7

I've been obsessed with Raja for so long. I started watching Fashion Photo Ruview because I loved Raven but then I stayed because Raja cracked me up. She is my #1 favorite queen. But I'm nervous. I was ready to tell everyone else on AS7 they could go home because if Raja is there its over....but Raja is being awfully quiet on the AS7 interviews and I can't see her being that way if she slayed. And sending Raja home early would definitely be a gag. I hope I'm wrong because I love my dear Raja.

Her looks aged pretty well. It’s even more impressive that they were from a lot of design challenges. I’d like to see the new seasons try to steer away from professional designers-provided looks and switch back to design challenges. I’d rather the queens sew and throw things together than all compete with trying to outspend each other.
@Meechooilka

This would never work nowadays. People demand FASHION! People demand ELEGANZA! These queens spend thousands on costumes and sometimes still end up looking horrible. The producers know way too well that most queens on the show cannot sew anything remotely close to the expensive fashion they bring to the show. So sewing challenges are far and between these days.

Raja is the blueprint. There is no Violet Chachki, Courtney Act, Bimini, Krystal Versace, Miss Fame, Aquaria, Naomi Smalls, etc. without her. That’s not shade to any of them, but Raja was the first one to elevate the drag on that runway. She was the first one to bring high fashion drag to Drag Race and she stepped up the game to a level that required future queens on the show to step up THEIR game now that the bar had been raised. We are where we are today because of Raja. It’s because of Raja that drag queens can’t wear store bought mall clothes (ahem H&M) on the runway anymore. She is and will always be that girl.

Some of the most popular queens to ever appear were on this season; of course Raja and Manila, but also Alexis and Yara, the "make the most of every opportunity" winner Shangela, trailblazer Carmen Carerra, and even Mariah, Delta and India. Because of these amazing entertainers we have a season 14, an All-Stars 7 and successful franchises all over the world and growing. All my respect to these queens for making great television and changing the world in a small but important way. 🙏

That there was hope in their future. To see hope in this world again was everything for them. It's not a stretch to say this show has saved thousands of lives.

I was very much surprised knowing that all the expert level of high fashion Raja wears is self made . They are not only model but also fashion artist that deserves high pay.
This top two was one of the best ever. The crown could've went to Manila, and I wouldve been okay. Raja definitely deserved this since she was a first fashion girl who isn't so robotic and lacked personality. She was vulnerable from the start. Love this queen forever.

She always gave solid acting and comedy, had a great snatch game and slayed every performance and lipsync (like the lipsync vs Carmen and the music challenge). She's honestly such a well-rounded queen and an exemplary winner, in my opinion.

UGH. I need a moment. To this day, I don't think I've ever been so thirsty to see a queen's runway look AND walk as I have been when Raja was on the show. And she delivered, EVERY TIME. Maybe I'm biased bc I stan ANTM, and she may have taken pointers from when she worked on the ANTM set, but her fashion/model presence on the runway was undeniable.

Raja’s crowning is so emotional. Not only because of Raja, but because of Manila too. In the confessional before it looks like she was already crying. Maybe they recorded it post lip sync. Then when the winner is announced we see joy and we also see Manila’s disappointment, and if your a fan you know how hard she fights still. The look she gives Raja was all raw emotion. I love these two so much! Thank you Raja and Manila for inspiring me!

i love her so SO much
Love the fact though that she was so underestimated when she walked in but she’s just so well known to this day and stomped the competition😍
Raja's looks still impress over a decade later. And some of the most impressive ones are for design challenges.
She won the show the moment she entered the room. Unforgettable!!! ❤️

Raja is everything!! Adore her!
Her Gold Rush look is still, to this day, the best look a queen had to put together herself on the show. No I will NOT argue about it.
From the second Raja walked in and everyone was judging her, I knew she’d be the one.
The Greatest to EVER touch that runway!
Just realized how respectful they were to each other in the lipsync battle for the CROWN S3. They point out each other for the "you are a champion" lyric and let the other take over the middle stage for a while. PERFECT.
My favorite Drag queen ever! I love her to death.

Rupaul's voice: "well not everybody is from New Jersey Michelle"
Raja is by far the reason I realized I was queer and why I loved Drag race so much, then went back to watch all the seasons all over again.
I just finished s3 and was really surprised to find out Raja wasn't super well-liked and well-respected. To me it was clear by the end of the first episode that it was his competition to lose, and he stayed pretty consistent throughout the season. While some queens may have excelled in some areas (Shangela was more charismatic, Alexis did better on screen), Raja was the only one who had it all- he didn't lack in any area.
Raja is the queen who 100% revealed her charisma, uniqness, nerve and talent in the season plus her irony and and charm i'm liviiiiiingg 💞💞💞💞 can't wait to see what auntie will show in all stars 7!
