The sewing machines were humming on the latest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Episode 4, titled “Red Carpet Mash-Ups,” delivered high-fashion drama, a guest judge who didn't hold back, and a medical emergency that left the Werk Room—and the judges' table—breathless.
The queens were tasked with a Herculean feat: creating show-stopping looks inspired by a mash-up of two legendary red carpet moments. While some thrived under the pressure, others found themselves "squabbling" with their fabrics. The stakes were higher than a platform heel with Law Roach and Broadway star Annaleigh Ashford joining RuPaul and Michelle Visage on the panel.
The night took a sharp turn when Briar Blush stepped onto the runway. Dressed in a look inspired by Lil Nas X’s pink cowboy suit and Rihanna’s iconic yellow Met Gala gown, she met the sharp tongue of Law Roach. "You look like a WWE wrestler. I hated it," Roach told the Boston queen. "I just wanted you to jump off the ropes and just do a drop-kick on somebody."
Moments after the critique, the tension proved too much. In a scene rarely witnessed in the show's history, Briar Blush suddenly collapsed, fainting into the arms of fellow contestant Juicy Love Dion. RuPaul immediately called for a medic as the stage went dark. After a medical evaluation and a brief recovery, Briar was cleared to return, but the shadow of the incident loomed large.
Who Won the Night?
While the drama was peak TV, the fashion was the main event. Vita VonTesse Starr cemented her status as a frontrunner, securing the win with a look so polished it appeared brought from home rather than made on the spot. Her impeccable construction and eye for detail earned her high praise from both Law Roach and RuPaul.
Ultimately, the fainting spell couldn't save Briar from the bottom. She found herself facing off against Kenya Pleaser in a high-energy lip sync for her life. Despite her determination to stay, Kenya’s comedic timing and stage presence outshone Briar's performance. As RuPaul delivered the final "sashay away," Briar left with her head held high, though she didn't leave without a final word. "Some very gorgeous outfits were missed. Ru," she said before exiting. "All I want to say is, huge mistake."
