Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor RuPaul’s go-to costume designer Zaldy Goco, who goes by Zaldy, has worked with the “Drag Race” superstar for over a decade and is no stranger to designing Ru’s show-stopping outfits. For RuPaul’s Season 15 finale look, Zaldy — whose trust with RuPaul runs so deep, they don’t even discuss finale looks prior to fittings — tells Variety he wanted it to feel “goddess-like and for Ru to float in.” Zaldy knew he wanted a unique color, so the three-time Emmy winner settled on a citrine and chartreuse combination that screamed springtime. For some extra sparkle, he added metallic fringe to the dress from Swiss fabric manufacturer Jakob Schlaepfer.
In all, Zaldy says it took about a week or so to make the dress, with the help of two other people. But because he had to miss the finale taping, Zaldy never got to see the finale look on Ru in-person — except for when he saw it on TV, of course. “I learned from Anetra how it looked,” Zaldy says. “She sent me a DM saying, ‘Oh my god, this is my favorite gown.’”
With that, Zaldy knew he had accomplished his mission — another winning gown for Ru. With the ever-expanding franchise of “Drag Race” including “All Stars,” Drag Race U.K.” and “Drag Race Australia,” Zaldy is almost always working on Ru. “Every month of the year… except maybe August,” he laughs. That means he never stops shopping and looking for what might be the next panel outfit or finale look. “We’re always purchasing fabrics that we think might look right, and we put them in the studio,” he says.

But we can’t ever let it fall to chance that queens will just apply and always make sure we’re scouting and encouraging queens to try out.” Aside from banking recommendations and scouring the internet, Bolte says part of her casting process involves reaching out to bars and clubs around the country. “And we take in drag shows when we can.”

Everything else that you see on that stage is 100% what I do and what I bring: where the queens enter, the formations, how they should express something, how should they say something.
Almost a year ago, songwriter, producer, and music artist Leland and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” executive producer Tom Campbell began working on the latest “Rusical” or mini-musical for the 16th season of the Emmy-winning reality competition program. A staple of the series, Leland had written numerous Rusicals centered on everyone from Madonna to The Kardashians, and, in theory, this year would be no different.
Joining in the second season of Yellowjackets, costume designer Amy Parris was tasked with creating the winter apparel for the stranded soccer team. After the death of the team captain at the end of last season, the team must prepare for a harsh winter.

For Natalie, the hunter of the group, Parris added a layer of a ‘deer pelt’ to keep her warm on her hunts. In the present timeline, Parris also needed to design gender neutral clothing for Lottie’s purple cult-like community.

Charna Flam This year’s Critics Choice Real TV Awards honored shows “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” “Top Chef,” and “Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi,” with each series taking home two awards.

Editor’s note: The following interviews were done outside of the FYC event series, as there was no panel or screening.
When she won a Golden Globe for “The Devil Wears Prada,” Meryl Streep said it best about what the role of costume design could be in moving pictures while thanking costume designer Patricia Field: “That was like special effects for our movie.”Indeed, “special effects” is what the effervescent Pat Field touch brings to any project that she signs her name under, the most popular among them undoubtedly being HBO’s “Sex and the City.” With perhaps the exception of “Mad Men” has there been another culturally iconic TV series in the last quarter century that informed, even evolved how people dressed in their daily lives?So it’s no easy task to do justice to the life and legacy of Field, a colorful New York City personality with a recently published book about her life. (Field doesn’t call it a memoir, as that word sounds too final to her.) But more versed in episodic outputs such as CNN’s four-part docuseries “American Style” than feature-length films, director Michael Selditch gives this gigantic task a shot anyway in “Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field” with mixed results.
As a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Michelle Visage is a stoic presence with expert critiques on the challenges. But once she meets the queens again on Whatcha Packin’, Visage is finally able to connect with them on a deeper level. RuPaul’s Drag Race is a reality competition series where a group of drag queens compete in a variety of fashion challenges to become America’s Next Drag Superstar. Eliminated queens then join Visage for Whatcha Packin’, an after show where they are able to show off the outfits they didn’t get a chance to wear and talk about themselves. As she is unable to really speak with the queens during the competition, Visage says that finally speaking with them is a very special experience.
