“I’m heartbroken”: Fans react to Drag Race UK season 5 first elimination
The first elimination on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season five has provoked an emotional response. Spoilers ahead. The second episode aired on screens as the queens took on the legendary design challenge, where they were tasked with creating an outfit made from pet store items.
Who better to offer advice on such a challenge than esteemed British Vogue Editor-in-Chief and European Editorial Director of Vogue, Edward Enninful, making a cameo appearance alongside Ru Enninful (rightfully named after mother herself)?
On the panel were regulars Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and guest judge Yasmin Finney (Heartstopper). Despite the best efforts of the entire group, RuPaul said of Alexis Saint-Pete’s runway look: “The neckline is a little wonky and the hemline is a little bit questionable.” Whilst, Miss Naomi Carter’s unfinished look was met by a mixed reception.
Yet, Finney said of her design: “Wow, I am just in awe of those braids. I’m sending a picture to my hairstylist tomorrow and that will be a look on my next red carpet.” The lip-sync duel was confirmed to be between Naomi and Alexis to ‘Hot In It’’ by Tiesto and Charli XCX.
