Reception

Screen Rant included Yvie Oddly's look in a 2021 overview of the show's ten best "drag on a dime" runway looks, and said: "Season 11's eccentric queen showed their versatility when they constructed a glamorous look out of farm materials such as seeds, burlap, denim, food, and other miscellaneous items. Even though they didn't cinch the win, Yvie's awe-inspiring runway look was an underrated stunner of the challenge.  The warm color choices with mix-ins of purple make the garment look like a beautiful sunset. The silhouette is distinct and interesting, making this outfit an eye-popping, bold fashion creation."^[9]
