Here's what they said:

2.SNL star Chloe Fineman's dress was a cornucopia of snacks, including lentils, gumballs, and detachable pockets filled with treats. Her nails had little carrots that were "dancing to the music of the carpet."

4.RuPaul's Drag Race icon Bob the Drag Queen made his dress the day of the show. The experience brought back workroom flashbacks: "I went and bought a bunch of shirts. I didn't know I was coming to this until yesterday! So I had to go shopping today. I'm not at home, so I had to go to the mall in New Jersey, buy a bunch of shirts, and we made this garment."

6.Musician Betty Who's look came from some villainous origins: "I told the designer that I was trying to give James Bond/Slytherin energy, and this is what he made for me," she told BuzzFeed. Her nails also featured a tiny moonperson.

7.Wild 'N Out's Justina Valentine opted for a boutique look to avoid any "Who wore it better" stories. It was practical too: "I have a hole down here if I have to pee or make a drop off."

The beading was pure ASMR.

8.RuPaul's Drag Race Season 14 contestant Kerri Colby said of her Mugler look, "It might look nice, it might look simple, it might look like athleisure. It took me a good 29 minutes to get into. I will say, the more I sweat from the nerves of being here for my first time, it gets a little more tailored."

9.It took "Fingers Crossed" singer Lauren Spencer-Smith 20 minutes to figure out how to loop her belt, which included an attempt in vain to film herself and send it to her stylist. In the end, her mom came to the rescue, and she added, "My mom had to do it. It was a lot."
