In the Kiki scene, Virgin Vogue spotlights ballroom pop stars at their debut, with contenders channeling a pop artist vibe, mic in hand and a tight eight count. Runway asks participants to pump for their chosen era by serving a look that clearly embodies a single genre such as pop, rock, country, rap, or jazz.

On the mainstream side, Virgin Vogue takes a Southern turn that favors hospitality over clichés, with flannel, denim, bandanas, or daisy dukes encouraged and no cowboy hats or boots permitted. Face is a red lips showcase using Fenty Beauty, pairing a natural beat with a bold lip in the spirit of Rihanna’s Loud cover, and the lipstick must be applied during tens on the runway. Runway offers a 10,000 grand prize under the Ring the Alarm theme, challenging entrants to reinterpret and elevate a Beyoncé video or stage look while providing a creative printed reference instead of a phone image. Realness celebrates the birth of hip hop in the 80s with hair and wardrobe touches like sweatsuits and jumpsuits that recall Salt N Pepa, LL Cool J, Run DMC, or Queen Latifah. Performance as a House honors boy and girl groups with productions by teams of three or four that include at least one track from the chosen group, earn tens together, then break apart to battle for the top chart spot, with mixes limited to one minute and thirty seconds and affiliations optional.
