Firstly, condragulations on surviving the Snatch Game – from here on out, the competition is only going to get tighter and more fierce so I hope you're all bringing your A-game!
Now, COVID-19 really threw a lot of annual events out the window, leaving us all feeling like we missed out on some great, iconic cultural moments – so we're going to make up for it!
This week you've all received an invitation to the highly exclusive 2021 MET Gala (this year hosted by me, on the runway), and your challenge is to create a show-stopping, fierce look that fits a MET Gala theme from years past!
As the winner of last week's challenge, Xiéxie Hadid has assigned which queens will be dressing in each theme (keep in mind this is a SOLO challenge!):
// SUPERHEROES: Fashion and Fantasy (2008) – Clothing inspired by superhero costuming, alongside actual costumes from superhero films.
–Amanduhh
–Mad Madge
–Taint
// PUNK: Chaos to Couture (2013) – Do-it-yourself rebellion meets fearless couture.
–Lady T
–Vanessa Hijinks
–Xiéxie Hadid
// CHINA: Through the Looking Glass (2015) – The impact of Chinese design in Western fashion over the centuries.
–Fancy Feast
–Jayson D'Rulo
–Mia the Beach
The theme is entirely up to you to interpret – just make sure you can justify your decisions and, more importantly, that you end up on the best-dressed list!
In addition, you will submit to me via PM a lip-sync look for "Why Haven't I Heard From You" by Reba McEntire:
You will have until 10:59pm EST March 18th to complete this challenge. If you require an extension, please let me know well in advance.
Contestants, start your hard drives... and may the best contestant, WIN!
NOTE: A ~24 hour extension has been requested by Jayson D'Rulo and it has been granted. Please use this time to work on your lip-sync looks or to made any additional edits to your runway look, if you wish. I'm very impressed with all of you so far, so the lip-sync will truly count this week!
