Reception

Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club gave the episode a rating of 'B+'.[6] Screen Rant included Valentina's look in a 2021 overview of the ten best "drag on a dime" runway looks, and said her look drew comparisons to Linda Evangelista by the judges. The website also said, "Valentina's Princess Vira look was reminiscent of a beautiful ice princess or a whimsical fairy. The construction was on point with not a stitch out of place. Plus, the monochromaticity of the look added to the ethereal quality of the outfit."[7]
