Last night, the walls of P Town couldnโt contain the energy as Savannah Ray, Pittsburghโs self-proclaimed backbending, spiderwalking queen, was officially crowned Miss P Town Pride 2025! Drenched in glamour and ghoulish charm, Savannah stunned judges and audiences alike with a performance that was equal parts theatrical, terrifying, and totally iconic.
Known for her spooky, punk-rock edge and signature creepy queen vibes, Savannah leaned all the way into her brand, serving looks that screamed pageant royalty with a deliciously dark twist. Fangs, sequins, spiderwebs, and a killer smirk all came together as she accepted the crown with a bouquet of roses and a queenly confidence that only she could deliver. The Miss P Town Pride 2025 pageant was Savannahโs first pageant.
Throughout the night, Savannah wowed in three different looks, each one a powerful reflection of her distinctive drag style. โAll three were good representations of my style,โ she explained. โMy presentation and talent looks were both great representations of my aesthetic, spooky yet sultry. My evening gown was very glamorous, and it was a concept Iโve wanted to do since before I even started drag.โ Both her talent and evening gown looks were designed by her drag mother, Calipso, whose influence and support were deeply felt throughout the evening.
When asked about what inspires her spooky glamor, she said, โI love the juxtaposition of things that are scary but still beautiful. Vampires are a great example of that. I love a vampire thatโs both elegant and dangerous, and so I want to emulate that.โ
Of course, Savannahโs win wasnโt a solo act. In addition to Calipso, she gave heartfelt thanks to Lavender, Wil, Presley, and Jordan, saying, โEveryone was a great help to me and I honestly couldnโt have done this without them.โ
From a lineup of truly stunning contestants, Savannah stood out not only for her polished looks but for her fully committed aesthetic, a blend of horror, humor, and high camp. With a crown now firmly on her head, Savannah Ray will continue to push the boundaries of what pageant drag can be: creepy, creative, and totally captivating.
Congratulations Savannah! Long may she reign.
