3. GRAND PRIZE FEMME QUEEN REALNESS 🏆🏳️‍⚧️
In the Name of Tokyo Stylez —
“The Femme Queen Aesthetic”
(6 Trophies) | $500
On this #TransDayofVisibility, we highlight Tokyo Stylez - a world-renowned celebrity hairstylist, beauty innovator, and cultural gamechanger whose work has shaped modern beauty and pop culture. She has styled some of today’s most influential figures, including Cardi B, Kylie Jenner, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, and Beyoncé, among many others. Known in the ballroom scene as Mia Tisci, she has consistently pushed the culture forward, elevating Femme Queen visibility, aesthetics, and influence both inside and outside the ballroom. One of one, her impact is undeniable.
This category celebrates the Femme Queen aesthetic. Femme Queens have influenced beauty, fashion, and pop culture for decades but are rarely credited. Tonight, we reclaim that influence by tapping fully into Femme Queen realness.

4. GRAND PRIZE Commentator vs. Commentator 🏆🏳️‍⚧️
In Honor of Icon Mariah Revlon Scorpiayna — “The Original Purr Katt”
(1 Trophy) | $500
Historically, commentating has been controlled, guarded, and dominated by men, while the voices and stories of trans women shaped the culture.
On this #TransDayOfVisibility, we honor Icon Mariah Revlon Scorpiayna — a Vogue and Runway extraordinaire whose influence also extended behind the mic as one of the most recognized Femme Queens to ever commentate. Mariah’s voice cut through the room. Her chants continue to echo today — timeless, reusable, and embedded in Ballroom language.
Tonight, for your 10s, you must bring it in the name of a Femme Queen commentator by remixing one of their chants — honoring the original while pushing it forward with your own voice.
RULES:
- The same commentator may NOT be used by more than two walkers. Once a commentator has been used twice, they are closed.

She has made moments that shifted the culture, raised the stakes, and brought visibility and respect to the category.
Beyond the runway, Jonovia is a dedicated community leader whose work has centered Ballroom and Trans lives. Through producing events, organizing initiatives, and collaborating with organizations such as House Lives Matter and the Hetrick-Martin Institute, she has helped build platforms focused on leadership, advocacy, and care. Her role as a Ballroom Coordinator for FX’s Pose expanded Ballroom’s reach while maintaining authenticity and respect for the culture.
Tonight, bring it in a team of two, with one partner being a Femme Queen or a TransMan.
The two of you must pay homage to a runway look Jonovia has done before. Both partners must reference the same effect, but deliver two different interpretations and executions of that look.
