Straight Pride™ ended when Maddy Morphosis sashayed away from *RuPaul's Drag Race* season 14.

Though many fan-generated memes suggested otherwise, RuPaul's three-time Emmy-winning fashion mastermind Zaldy tells EW the *Drag Race *host's now-iconic patchwork dress from the April 8 "Catwalk" episode was not, in fact, a tribute to Maddy's affectionately derided, country-friend Glamazon Prime creation from episode 6.

"That's purely coincidence. There are two different things: Yes, it's the same kind of [aesthetic] muse, but that look for Ru, we always love a coat of many colors as a reference," Zaldy says on the new episode of EW's BINGE podcast above, adding that the final creation was actually an intricately crafted tapestry of several past looks RuPaul has worn over the years.

"We created it because, every now and again, I save so many of the scraps of things we use for Ru outfits because I think they're just so beautiful," Zaldy continues, noting that there are pieces of Ru's favorite dress — the pink and orange leopard number remixed by Shea Couleé on last week's *All Stars 7* episode — spread throughout the design. "That one, if you look closely, does have these sacred pieces of the hand-painted leopard [dress] in that look. That look is very designed. It has gradating diamond patterns that get smaller toward the top. It's very involved. It's not [just] a patchwork thrown together."

Zaldy, who's worked with RuPaul for decades, also revealed that Shea's *All Stars 7* recreation shook him the hardest, with her hand-crafted "gradation of the scale of the spots" giving him "goosebumps" as he watched her re-design RuPaul's favorite look of all time.

As for the rest of the all-winners cast, who were also tasked with re-interpreting famous RuPaul looks, Zaldy commended them for not simply remixing the clothes, but tailoring them to fit their personal aesthetics.

"If I'm going for who was the most glamorous vision, it was definitely Jaida [Essence Hall]," he observes. "When she came out with that little, tiny mini fur and tied it back to a Diana Ross hairstyle, it was just an incredible, visually stunning look. So was Trinity [The Tuck's], this outrageous head-to-toe look. Everybody really had a moment. I was really impressed with their thought process and their interpretation. Everybody did something I was really touched by."

Though he steers the ship when it comes to RuPaul's closet, he clarifies with a laugh that he isn't the one who put RuPaul in flip-flops and a tracksuit for the Fairytale Justice challenge several episodes ago.

"Ru likes to play, too," he says. "Ru loves fashion, and Ru plays. She loves it. That's 100 percent Ru.... I don't put anybody in flip-flops!"

- Aileen Wuornos murdered at least six men between 1989 and 1990.

- At the time, she engaged in sex work to support herself and her girlfriend, Tyria Moore.

- Moore was instrumental in getting Wuornos to confess to her crimes.

Aileen Wuornos was convicted of murdering six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. During that time, Wuornos was working as a prostitute to support both herself and her girlfriend, Tyria Moore.

Moore was never implicated in the murders, and she has always insisted she played no part in them. She was, however, instrumental in helping police build a case against Wuornos, who was eventually sentenced to death.

Now, Wuornos' story and her relationship with her ex-girlfriend is back in the spotlight thanks to a new Netflix documentary, *Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers*. Here's everything we know about Tyria Moore and where she is now.

Who is Tyria Moore?

Wuornos and Moore reportedly came from *very *different worlds. The serial killer was abandoned by her mother and endured a traumatic childhood, which ultimately led to her getting pregnant at 13, dropping out of school, and hitchhiking across the country. As for Moore, a 1991 report in the *South Florida Sun-Sentinel* says she grew up in Cadiz, Ohio, and was raised in a middle-class family.

In 1986, they crossed paths at a gay bar called Zodiac in South Daytona, Fla. Wuornos and Moore, who was in her 20s at the time, hit it off and started dating. They soon moved in together, bouncing between motels and trailers.

"We became lovers, and it later turned into a sister-like relationship," Moore told police, according to the outlet. For her part, Wuornos reportedly described Moore as "the love of my life" and would even tell people Moore was her wife. She allegedly threatened to kill anyone who bothered Tyria.

In *Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers*, previously unseen jailhouse footage shows Wuornos gushing about Moore. Wuornos said she loved Moore and carried a gun to protect herself so she could stay alive and have "another day breathing with her."

Money was tight throughout their relationship. Moore sometimes worked as a maid, but Wuornos was the main provider, relying on sex work to make ends meet.

"The problem was I wasn't supporting her as richly as she wanted," Wuornos reportedly told police. "She always wanted a brand-new car or a rented one. She wanted clothes, she wanted an apartment with plush furniture."

Did Moore play a role in Wuornos' confession?

Yes, she did. Over time, Moore became suspicious of Wuornos, eventually breaking up with her and moving back to Ohio. Investigators contacted Moore in late 1990 after linking Wuornos to a string of murders, hoping she could help them get a confession. She agreed.

Across several phone conversations with Moore, Wuornos confessed to the murders of multiple men. According to PEOPLE, Wuornos told her, "I'm not gonna let you go to jail. Ty, I love you. If I have to confess everything just to keep you from getting in trouble, I will."**

Did Moore testify against Wuornos?

Yes, and Moore ultimately played a pivotal role in Wuornos' 1992 trial for the murder of 51-year-old Robert Mallory. On the stand, Moore revealed that Wuornos had previously told her she shot Mallory to death while the pair were watching TV.

"I didn't believe it," Moore said, per United Press International. "I know I didn't like to hear about her work (prostitution). So I'm sure I didn't want to hear something like that."

Wuornos claimed she killed Mallory in self-defense after he raped her, but Moore testified that there was no mention of an attack.

A jury found Wuornos guilty of Mallory's murder. She later pled no contest or guilty to five additional murders. Ultimately, she was convicted of six counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Wuornos was executed by lethal injection in October 2002, according to a *New York Times *obituary.**

Where is Tyria Moore now?

After testifying against her ex-girlfriend, Moore largely vanished from the public eye. She has since stayed silent about the case and avoided any and all public appearances.

Christina Ricci appeared as Selby Wall, a fictionalized version of Moore, in the 2003 film *Monster*, which explores Wuornos's life and crimes.

Raja is officially a season 3-peat contender on *RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7* — which, as the drag superstar exclusively tells EW, could mark her final appearance ever on the Main Stage.

"There were several moments I wanted to repeat, just as a reminder of what happened 11 years ago," Raja tells *EW's BINGE* podcast (listen below) of hitting the latest, knitting-themed *AS7* runway clad in a gilded recreation of her Futurama Glamorama (otherwise known as "She3PO") look that first rocked the fandom back in 2011. "This is an elevated version of it, which is how I think life should be lived: You can take concepts from your past and do better versions of it, or do something a little more elevated.... I did want to make some revisits, just as a reminder. I slayed it once before, and I'm going to slay it again."

Raja adds that she and her drag daughter worked on the revamped version by knitting together gold ropes and threads with several large needles — a method that reminds Raja of passing time on New York City subways by knitting, years before she became the season 3 winner. The popular music group Deee-Lite (particularly its leader, Lady Miss Kier) also provided inspiration for the garment, which collides two of Raja's favorite elements as a Gemini: "The past and the future," she says.

The hard work paid off: Raja won her second overall challenge on the latest episode of* All Stars 7*, after triumphing in a Scrooge-inspired role in the holiday-themed *Mean Girls* satire/murder mystery acting challenge titled *Santa's School for Girls*. She later beat The Vivienne in a two-woman lip-sync, earning her second Legendary Legend Star of the season.

When asked if she's had recent conversations with fellow *Drag Race* alums Violet Chachki and Gottmik — who took over for her as the hosts of the recap show* Fashion Photo RuView* and subsequently "booted" some of her looks at the start of the season — Raja said that, while she has nothing but love for both queens, she's enjoying being "booked and blessed" in her career. Noting that as much as she's enjoying her reintroduction to the *Drag Race* fandom, this might the last fans see of her on the Emmy-winning show.

"This is the last time I'm ever going to be on *RuPaul's Drag Race *ever in my life, so, I'm just focused on the positive and, no, I haven't had a conversation with [Violet and Gottmik] at all. I've just been surrounding myself with other things. There's so much! They're busy, they're booked and blessed as well, I've been watching them, I follow both of them on Instagram," Raja explains.

When pressed on whether her comments were a declaration or speculation, she clarifies: "Right now at this point I'm saying it's a declaration. It's such a hard thing to do and I live a life of leisure and I hate being inconvenienced," she jokes. "It's so hard to do *Drag Race*. It's stressful, but I can't see myself doing that ever again right now. I'm saying that today. You never know, I might get a call from Randy [Barbato] and Fenton [Bailey] of World and Wonder like, 'We're going to do another one!' You never know, I might change my mind, but today I'd say it's not a possibility."
