Reception

Mariana Fernandes included Milk in Screen Rant 's list of ten "design challenge runner-ups that should have won" and said, "[Bianca Del Rio] looked great, but Milk looked better. The addition of facial hair was iconic and the first piece of evidence that this tall glass of Milk had a very specific identity and style that simply couldn't be replicated. She deserved this win, and we're still salty about it." [3]
