Runway
This week's runway category for the new queens is Frills, No Spills, meaning exaggerated outfits that incorporate ruffled, pleated or frilly material. See below for a moodboard:

Judging
Gia gets high praise for her reimagining of Asia's fated butterfly look, which is a three-dimensional outfit decorated with multicoloured paper butterflies (not unlike Acid Betty's dove look). Combined with Gia's own Elizabethan-style ruff look on the runway, Ross says he thinks we've found this season's fashion queen.

It turns out that the reason Kandy was so quiet in the werk room was because she was desperately trying to figure out how to turn Trinity's cape into something decent. The end result of a pantsuit isn't too bad, although the judges would have liked to have seen better construction and a clearer throughline between the two outfits.

Moltyn’s version of Heidi's disco diva look, which she has turned from a jumpsuit into a gown, doesn't go down too well with the judges. Michelle in particular thinks that Moltyn's new look for Heidi loses all the fun of the original outfit, e.g. the comically oversized sleeves, and finds Moltyn's own runway look a little basic in addition.

Neon, who was assigned Monét's infamous sponge dress, gets praise for her creative use of the sponges, which she has cut up to resemble spikes. Guest judge Tove Lo says the look reminds her of a "sponge warrior", which I'm pretty sure was the original nickname for Barry Scott from the Cillit Bang adverts. The judges also like Neon's inventive take on the Frills, No Spills runway category.

Having been given Miss Vanjie's doll look to remake, Toto goes all in on the use of the bodysuit in the original outfit, and comes up with a lucha libre-style look complete with a wrestling mask painted to look like a doll's head. So Vanjie can live out her best Mexican wrestler fantasy on the runway, Toto also attaches dolls to the bodysuit using string, which swing around all over the place as Vanjie poses. Ross says that it's all a bit chaotic, but there's something about Toto's creative vision that he loves; guest judge Billie Lourd agrees, and says she can see this creativity in Toto's Dorothy-from-Wizard-of-Oz-inspired frilly look.

Tina makes the most of her psychic connection with her New York sister Peppermint to improve her nighty look, taking it from an ill-fitting top-and-skirt combo to a fluffy pink retro ensemble that has touches of Divine from Female Trouble in it. Michelle in particular thinks that the look is full of character and lets them know exactly who Tina is as a queen. "It's a good night for Tina Burner," says Ross, which I put in just because it's something he seems to say about a queen at least once an episode.

Last but not least, Veronica's redo of Silky's fly look is not anywhere near as disastrous as it could have been. This is largely because Veronica veers away from whatever Silky's original concept was and more towards a horror-inspired look, with graphic makeup (not applied with a Sharpie) and oversized mesh wings. The judges like the unique approach, although they suggest parts of the outfit that could have been tidied up.

Results
Safe (Low): Moltyn Decadence
Safe: Kandy Muse
Safe: Miss Toto
Safe: Veronica Taylor-Mykels
Safe (High): Neon Calypso
Safe (High): Tina Burner
Winner: Gia Metric

As with last week, no queen goes home; instead, the winning queen (Gia) must lip sync for a cash tip against her All Star partner (which would of course be Asia). Guest judge Tove Lo is told for the first time that the lip sync song isn't going to be one of hers, and is so mad that she breaks a light bulb with her fist.
