If you're a Kori King fan, you'll know that she will excel at RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17's "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway look!

The Drag Race Season 17 alumna took the discussion on X (formerly Twitter), and fans all agreed that she'll slay the challenge! (via X/@Kori_kiing)


Fans' hilarious reactions to Kori King's tweet

Because Kori quote-retweeted the tweet that is all about the "Ugliest Dress Ever" category, even her Drag Race sister Sam Star joked her, commenting that she needs to borrow Kori's Big Bird dress if the eliminated queen was still there!

"Sister. I needed you there to borrow the big bird dress!" - Sam Star said (via X/@samstarqueen)

Fans also poked fun at Kori, saying that she would have slayed the runway category (if she's there) if she wore the Kori Toot look from her Cameo videos. (via X/@tojiswetburrito)

Some fans also roasted Kori, saying that if she was there, she would also slay the challenge, which is the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent Monologues! (via X/@amberrrbri)

Other fans also agreed with Kori King's tweet, saying that the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway category would be Kori's "I knew I will win this season" moment.

"Baby that category would be your "the moment we knew she was winning season 17"" - a fan commented (via X/@luxxseylonduca)

Drag Race fans also trolled Kori King, saying that it's kinda bad that Drag Race Season 17 had an "Ugliest Dress Ever" and "Short Shorts" runway categories after the queen left the show!

"It’s frankly h********* they did both Ugliest Dress and Short Shorts after you left!" - another fan replied (via X/@onetruecarlson)

Fans also clowned the queen, saying that the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway category of episode 12 on their saying is her drag since episode 1.

"You kinda in this category since day 1 sis!" - another fan added (via X/@luisfelipeif)

And finally, fans also joked that the judges—including RuPaul, would not care if Kori King repeated a runway look if she's still on the show because hey, the runway category was "Ugliest Dress Ever", not "Prettiest Dress Ever"!

"Baby u could’ve repeated a runway look would’ve been iconiccc!" - another fan remarked (via X/@barbielatina666)

The history of the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway category

Because the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway category came back on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17, let's go back to where it started!

Actually, there are many runway categories on Drag Race but the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway category originated on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5, when one of the judges called out Alyssa Edwards, commenting that her runway look is the ugliest dress that they have ever seen.

RuPaul, being RuPaul, took note of the comment, and on Drag Race Season 7, they revealed it as a runway category. The first winner of the "Ugliest Dress Ever" is Ginger Minj (Season 7), followed by Onya Nurve & Lexi Love (Season 17).


Ugliest dress or not, Kori King proved to us through and through that she's one of the funniest and most unserious Drag Race Queens in Drag Race HERstory! Keep on slaying, queen!
