Past winners and new contestants of “ RuPaul’s Drag Race ” gathered at New York City’s Aqua Roma on Tuesday to celebrate the show’s upcoming Season 18, which is set to premiere on Jan. 2 on MTV. As one would expect, overly flamboyant looks dominated the event’s red carpet, with drag queens bringing the broadest range of fashion references, including nods to Vivienne Westwood and Schiaparelli, as well as to “Power Rangers” and “K-Pop Demon Hunters.”

“The fashion looks good! You know why? Because the girls aren’t young. They’re all above 30,” Monét X Change, winner of “All Stars Season Four,” told WWD on the red carpet. “They got the experience on. They have the experience to know enough designers to choose good dresses. I’m very excited about the fashion this season.”
