Strike a Pose: The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Queens Do Madonna Dress-Up

Last season on RuPaul’s Drag Race, the contestants struck a pose in Madonna drag — and while they expressed themselves and gave good face, almost half of them inexplicably wore “Nothing Really Matters”-inspired kimonos for the challenge. Drag Race judge and avowed Madonna fangirl Michelle Visage was NOT amused. Neither was RuPaul. So for this week’s Drag Race episode, the series staged a “shequel” and had the new Season 9 queens pay their own sartorial tribute to the “Dress You Up” queen of pop.

While a few Madonna-wannabes did dress nearly identically, again — thus garnering some fresh Visage shade — most of this season’s material squirrels displayed true blonde ambition on the runway.
