Behind the scenes, because we know you want to see more.

Some shows save the magic for the runway. At ALTBALL, the vibe is everywhere.

Huge love to Ate: A Tens Experience (ATE!) for bringing the ballroom scene to life. Led by Maven Logik Lee, ATE! is a St. Louis organization dedicated to the LGBTQ+ ballroom community - hosting mini balls, runway and vogue workshops, and cultural events that celebrate local q***r artistry and fellowship.

On the floor you’ll see categories like Runway, Vogue, Face, Body, S*x Siren, Realness, and more - each one its own language, its own history, its own way of claiming space and power.

This is the heart of the ball. Thank you, ATE!, for keeping it alive in St. Louis.

Our 2026 runway winners. 🏆

ALTBALL has always been a showcase first - a platform for every designer and model who stepped onto that runway and gave it everything. The talent this year was staggering, across the board.

These are the folks who brought a little something extra. The vibe, the walk, the look that set them apart.

Swipe through to see the visions that started on a sketchpad and ended in a crown. To everyone who shared their work and brought it to life: you made ALTBALL what it was. And to these winners - congratulations. You earned every second of it. 🖤
