Since the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK burst onto our screens this month, it’s once again become one of the main highlights of our week. Whether it’s the important discussions that take place in the dressing room, the catty remarks following RuPaul’s critiques, or the dazzling celebrity judges (we see you, Nicola Coughlan), each week on Drag Race UK so far has proven itself to be something truly special.
What’s undoubtedly most impressive, however, is of course the outfits. Each episode sees the queens completing a number of challenges that all involve serving some serious “lewks”, and after fashion queen Bimini Bon Boulash graced us with their presence last season, the pressure has been on for the contestants to prove their worth on the runway.
While it’s impossible to forget some of the standout ensembles, a refresher on some of the best (and worst) looks is always welcome. Thankfully, we’ve taken the time to round up the cream of the crop, and we’ve ranked them for your judging pleasure. Keep reading to see which of your favourite queens made the cut.

Choriza May's 'Red Carpet' Look
Choriza May’s red carpet look from episode 2 may be one of our favourites yet. Inspired by her hometown in Spain, the glorious blue dress was accompanied by an intricate headpiece and some very impressive makeup. May’s drag is frequently inspired by the work of Pedro Almodóvar Caballero, a Spanish film director, who often utilises bold colour, glossy decor, and influences of popular culture.

Vanity Milan's 'Queen of Your Hometown' Look
Vanity Milan’s ‘Queen of Your Hometown’ look was inspired by a mix of the two areas closest to her heart, South London and Jamaica. Milan’s outfit consisted of an outer dress made entirely of tulle and covered in South London postcodes, with a sleek sequinned number inside, in the colours of the Jamaican flag.

River Medway's 'Queen of Your Hometown' Look
River Medway’s hometown look is one we’ll remember forever, purely because of how absolutely hilarious it was. Inspired by a statue of Thomas Waghorn in Chatham, Medway paid a perfect tribute to her hometown with not only a spot on ensemble, but also a seriously entertaining performance.

Krystal Versace's 'Queen of Your Hometown' Look
Krystal Versace is a queen that we’ve most definitely got our eye on this season, and it’s because her looks are epic. From idea to execution, Versace consistently delivers, and we’re looking forward to seeing a lot more from her.

Victoria Scone's 'My Favourite Things' Look
Victoria Scone is probably one of the purest souls there is, and her ‘my favourite things’ look, is proof. Scone decided to pay homage to the humble afternoon tea, and she came out on the runway in a floral purple outfit complete with cake stand top and bottom.

Ella Vaday's 'Queen of Your Hometown' Look
We love a look with a message, and Ella Vaday’s hometown look was exactly that. Vaday came out in an adorable 60’s inspired mini, holding a placard that said “we want sex”, before opening her coat to reveal the remainder of the sentence: “equality”.
