FASHION PHOTO RUVIEW: RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 - Grande Finale Eleganza 

Season finale and Raven is Tooting and Booting the contestants wearing that piece of shit??????

Can Raja and Raven go over the Met Gala??? ❤

She literally can’t help but mother even on a season she didn’t compete in🩵

Her performance was like "Hmm, uhh uh, gotta let the gurls shine." then walking out with that lewk ilke"Just kidding."

Overrated … Violet will always be that girl.

It’s always like that, the step down look will be the grandest.

​@@PhevelousFunny bc this isn't about Violet 🤔 Sasha is just living rent-free in your head, huh?? VIOLET loves Sasha and would find your comment incredibly corny, fyi. 👌🏿

correct me if im wrong but neither did q or sapphira?

@@left2rightanimations561sapphira got a boot on the makeover, q for her dancing runway i think (the robot one)

But she got a yawn

​​@@melaninmonroe007 she still has one of the best runway packages of all time

@@left2rightanimations561lol she did

To be fair, elevating a banana isn’t that hard. Unless you have banana ED or something.

THIS!!! I dont get the pushback, its different every time, its her signature.

I'm hoping her stepdown look is a banana tree, the final evolution

​@@AlastorsShadowDemonIt isn't?? Well then, let's see your runway package- Oh, wait, that's right. Get well, sweetie. 💋

@@beevonerd You’re being a dick for what? It was an erectile dysfunction joke. 🙄

I think sometimes they just forget that’s an option

Same!

But then double shoot that saphira fan runway :( Still stuck on it

Ya i think they forget sometimes it exists😂

They only ever have Sasha and her entire season one shoot. It’s ridiculous.

I know! She only wore it like 4 times on her season. And that includes the finale! They just see yellow and think banana.

and she elevated it so they need to stop bullying her

meanwhile sapphire keeps getting a pass for wearing blue lol it's annoying

​@@radRadiolarianIts her signature color, why would anyone get on her for it?? Ppl should stfu about them both, how bout that? 🤔

She gets branding and marketing and she's smiling all the way to the bank ...banana in hand ! Love you Nymphia ! Taiwan is proud of you !

They never said it was bad they just said their tired of seeing the bananas 🍌

different concepts? it's a banana

@@envylopez6035 its over done i get what they were saying

so true. mega shocked they didn't shoot Sasha.. like damn, what do you gotta do to get a shoot these days?

It was what everyone expected though, silver, shiny lots of body, yawn. She never surprises.

@@jesc8827the way you’re just wrong. you’re telling me you expected that gorgeous gown with earring pasties and so many rhinestones and so structured that she had to be sewn into the look?

@@MarissaFloro apparently you have to have sapphira's fan look

💯

also her bananas come in all different forms and shape so yeah.. yay nymphia

Hate on, you'll never be as successful as them ❤

clock that tea

At least bodysuits can come in different colors

😂😂😂😂 and THAT'S a fact

That b🤬tch IS a G-O-D-D-E-S-S!

just as tiresome as her banana yellow look

LOUDER

Was there really only 4? Felt like more But yeah I agree. Besides it's a brand, since when are judges against that?

Maybe it's because she is mentioning bananas in her confessions and every challenge. Bit one note

ONLY FOUR????

Honestly, this fandom is so scared to say anything bad about dark-skinned queens for fear of being dogpiled and called a racist, but no one says anything when people are blatantly racist about the asian queens. Sapphira being the mature (as in older & doing drag for awhile) black queen automatically made her some kind of messiah for half the fanbase and RuPaul, but Nymphia was free game despite having not only an impressive rep in Taiwan, but also an obvious amount of talent and experience. Not only did Sapphira wear that goddamn blue MORE than Nymphia wore bananas or even yellow, but she also reused the same silhouette at least 3 times on the runway. So tired. But she's the older respected queen of the season so she can do no wrong, of course. Edit: Y'all accusing me of racism for CALLING OUT RACISM is so fucking hilarious. Keep it up babes, we all know how you really feel about asian queens now.

​@@ruralmetalheadHm you sound AWFULLY bothered by something that literally doesn't affect you. If you were being sincere you would've said that neither of them should've been critiqued for their signature looks/colors, but that would've been *too* easy, huh?? 🥱

Funny parts are they even praised sapphira for wearing this much blue and can NOT stand yellow and banana in a finale present. Girl where does this Asian hate come from???

@beevonerd Nah, just stating what I've observed. Feel free to keep assuming, though!

@@ruralmetalhead Mhm and if what you observed didn't lead you to the same conclusion I came to, there's a problematic reason for it I'm sure. Ijs, the real issue being ignored bc *checks notes* ppl are afraid to clock the black queens (when the fandom is notoriously rude to them) is hilarious.

The hate on Nymphia for the bananas is wild considering she barely has done it, and her looks are always incredible when she does it. But just to show here is a break down of the percentages of her wearing bananas and her wearing yellow in 23 different looks shown this season: (4 banana looks) 23/4=17.4% (8 yellow looks) 23/8=26.1%-34.8% Includes promo look, memoir cover/interview looks. *not included: mini challenge/rusical/ snatch game/ look of the dancer in the makeover…and outfit reveals counted as one look so there is no accusing anyone of being biased. 2 looks were slightly yellow but still included for its intended purposes thats why the percentage in yellow category varies. I know many queens whose looks, looked the same more than half of the runway, and not well done. Nymphia hasn’t even done 25% and everyone makes it seem like that’s all she did. Statistic data shows otherwise. She turned out every outfit and even her banana runways were insanely good and she gave VARIETY.

Nothing wrong with having a signature color or a signature theme but girl, bananas? FOUR times in a season?

She will keep doing it more and more lol.. hope she comes out as a banana tree on her step down

​@@c.k.8585 but other queens just wore one color too. There was multiple reds and a fvckton of blue. It just doesn't make sense when other queens have a brand color like pink too. They're just so ticked off with the banana in particular. Why tho?

@@unknownperson8527 It's not one color. She could mostly wear yellow, that's not an issue. It is the four banana costumes. And it really is the fact that her package was so well thought out otherwise which makes it baffling. You knew you'd do bananas for entrance and for finale. Maybe ok to do it for the reveal runway cause the concept is there (and those wigs were just amazing). At least cut the True Colors and just make it about yellow? Her Josephine Baker banana skirt interpretation was not that exceptional and it has been done multiple times (and better, at least by Fiercalicious)

The finale look was the best by far 🎉

ALWAYS

No. It’s tired….but I love her

Elevated or not, banana is banana.

Because Trixie is white. And they can't complain about Sapphira cuz she's black. So Yellow gets the complaints.

@@kaylavwj7335what

I think it’s because yellow is a very eye striking color and you notice it a lot- personally am not a big fan of yellow. And the banana theme was overdone

@@vilhelmstenbro5289she is literally known as the banana Buddha in Taiwan… it is her brand. Like tricked brand is Barbie. Like her last name Mattel. Like ???

@@frankie7313 But the banana brand isn’t as broad and interesting as barbie in my opinion, you can apply the Barbie theme to many different things in different ways, but Nymphia literally just dresses up as a banana and talks about bananas- she does it beautifully and executes it well and I like Nymphia, but I just think it’s quite random to pick a fruit as your brand and that she overdid it throughout the season

isnt there a major difference between wearing a color vs wearing a fruit

@@0927kira Exactly, a fruit themed runway is easier to clock when its repetitive than a one coloured theme (blue) At least blue can be interpreted in different ways.

@@toloojane1766 right like, im not saying nymphia was bad but people are being ridiculous if they think wearing 4 bananas is as noticable as wearing 4 blue dresses

​@0927kira you keep trying to clock ppl pero she had different varieties and silhouettes. It's her brand. What's not clicking

@@agllo317 I never said she lacked variety, I'm only saying that people are tend to point out similarities when wearing the same fruit (no matter how different) as opposed to wearing the same color. Whats not clicking.

tea

@@celestialg1rl0101 boba

thats just not true

@@greynotchristian name em

@@MissPeanutshell em

They are not saying is the same banana outfit, is the banana concept itself that is boring, done way too much

Really Queen of the Universe (not the show). This is the type of final boss that has all the elements like a crystal prism.

All the eliminated queens except maybe Q looked bad

Except for Geneva

Except Geneva and im 100% mexican and living in mexico. Her stuff was crap lol

What’s the minimum amount of banana looks needed to be considered over doing it?

@@waynedexterthey said their over the bananas. From a runway only stand point she barely wore bananas . Over doing it would be 3/4 instead she did it 1/4.

@@waynedexterclock sapphira for wearing so much blue because from a runway stand point she is the one that gave it 3/4.

@@blackzn.whitez The initial comment didn’t mention Sapphira. Hence why she wasn’t mentioned.

@@blackzn.whitez Gotcha. 3/4. Thanks for your 2 cents

She should have worn her gold banana look she wore when watching the finale episode. Yes it has bananas but the gold and construction of them they wouldn't have recognized it.

No the color would have been ideal, the banana costume, no!

I have noticed that. I wonder why because it is not making sense.

Ugh every other fkn comment is this. Y'all wanna hate on her SO bad instead of saying the actual truth: that ppl coming for either of them are dead wrong. Get help, grow up plz. 🙏🏿

@@johnpinegar8027her name is sapphira…

That's her color

Her finale’ dress has more wrinkles than a shar-pei. It looked like a cheap mess. I expected more.

BANANA FOREVER

Agreed! And the banana looks were always different. Nymphia definitely saved the fanciest banana for last.

@@mjanmarino right?!?! Her looks were impeccable and only a hand ful out of what… 16-20 looks were bananarama. And then, when she did do a banana look, it was creative and BEAUTIFUL. She branded herself fiercely whilst also giving us MANY MANY MANY brilliant other sides to Nymphia

@@Ginger18420 IMMACULATE MAMA.

it didnt get better it got the same

@@greynotchristiancan you point us out to which part was the same cos you seem to be all over the comment section hell bent on not giving nymphia her flowers

@@chenisaur9558 the banana part, the Josefine baker reference part, the dressing as an object being super common in drag part

@@greynotchristian you are not fr😭 first one was the life cycle of a banana, second is a ripe banana bundle showcase, third one is a half peeled single banana, all three different silhouettes, texture, color shade and concept. Just say u hate nymphia and go

@@chenisaur9558 lol

Not everyone has to like everything your fave is wearing and thats fine

its their opinion? 🥱

Willow pill's was also good

Not this gottmik erasure

@@Carlos-dz8nethey meant the reigning queen

Honestly the only other people who have come close are Sasha Velour and Icesis

Maybe I'm alone but for me it's The Symone's step down look ✨🤌👏. I'll die on this hill

Sure jan

that was the best part 😂

@@Nadalmusic 🤣

“It’s not ugly.” - Morphine’s dress described by Raven

Exactly. It’s giving bitter and boomer energy

@@remiogunsanya1585😂😂😂 and I love these two but like oh my gosh

They cant stand someone as creative as they are ..Nymphia is very very creative

@@MrLuis85698they probably just had to choose someone to be in the “bottom”

@@dominickjvlogs may be ..

Five seperate times in ine season is enough in my opinion.

​@@doeeyes2when's the 5th one? Entrance Ruveal True colors Finale When's the fifth? 4 looks out of 20 is not overdoing it, it's her signature

@@doeeyes2keep replying on every comment you tr@sh

right? that was the saddest winner condragulations lol.

👏🤣

Race difference you may notice 👀

@@MizuFujimori And also timeframe… that season with Adore aired in 2014, and how people view and comment on drag has changed since then

Drag has changed a lot since then. Back then it was all about hyper-femininity and snatched body. But now, all shapes and sizes are welcome. Women come in all different shapes and sizes too so idk why a drag queen should limit herself to the same tired hourglass shape when impersonating a woman.

It was a question of curiosity. Nothing more, nothing less.

PLENTY.

😂

Like the chain look, it looked like she made it in her hotel room the night before.

Yeah, it looked crafty.

to me, I think it was supposed to be like "oh you want me to take my ears out? so I'll rip them off and make them into a crown", but Dawn-style. The feathers on the sides of the head look like blood gushing out while the hat with the ears was lifted by the hair that somehow grew up under it. I think if she made some dramatic pain/ripping gestures, it would be make it more clear towards my interpretation

I didn't even realize the elf ears were in the wig until seeing this and them zooming in on it in the still image and I'm DEAD

I bet that by then, she is going to be a straight up banana.

Okay but you're sleeping on Willow Pill's look. It was so beautiful and whimsical

​@EurydiceAllAlong everyone sleeps on her :( her look is top 3 imo

Raja is jealous, she cant stand someone as creative as Nymphia

It's not the yellow, it's the constant banana reference they're critiquing. Like yes, I also noticed that Sapphira wore blue a lot, but she did change it up as they mentioned.

Bitch it's not the yellow, it's the damn constant branding. Nymphia fans are delusional. It's not just yellow looks, it's shouting out yellow, it's wearing yellow in confessionals, it's the fucking jane goodall impression (BECAUSE I WONDER WHAT SHE'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT INVOLVES YELLOW BANANAS), it's every damn thing. Nymphia fans need to learn to sit down and shut up at legitimate criticism. The bitch won and you're still complaining. And the reason no one cares about Sapphira's blue is cause she doesn't scream BLUEBERRIES every damn episode.

Facts

@@Zodia195if that’s the mf case blue is sapphira names sake and bananas is what Nymphia gives to the public and if yu can’t like one..idt it’s fair you like the other.

Let's not gaslight ourselves here. She walked in in a banana look, wore 3 more banana outfits including this one, wore yellow for the doll runway, also wore yellow/banana themed outfits for many performances + all her workroom outfits and made sure to include banana references in every possible occasion. I love her but it does get tired.

Lmaoooo I just noticed 😭😭😂😂

Oh my gosh ! haha. To be fair tho they didn’t look at the finalist or Sasha lip sync outfits either just the initial runway and Sasha’s finale look

@@jillianstamatelos9459 honestly them putting Sasha on there made me be like wait theres one more 😭 and right we wanted to know what they thought of the dance outfits

seriously 😂

It’s bananas 😂

banana banana banana

Sapphira wore blue more times than Nymphia wore yellow 😭🤚

@@redscrunchie222literally.!

A fruit is more specific than just a color

It’s such a double standard to Asians

@@hsedo2126 Instead of basking in the glow of Nymphia winning the competition, folks would rather be heat seeking missiles for imaginary grievances. Strange, much?

If Sahoira wore a blueberry themed dress 5 sperate times in one season people would be talking about it, i assure you

​@@doeeyes2Then talk about it....SHES WORN ROYAL BLUE MORE THAN HALF HER LOOKS. People are just racist to Nymphia.

@@doeeyes2why it gotta be fruit??

@@MizuFujimori racist?!! it’s a fkn banana, relax! 😂
