With any competition show, you fall in love with its contestants, andDrag Racewas no exception.
You couldn’t help but love the new queens every season (even the super shady ones).
With RPDRAll Starsin its 7th season, Ru felt like it was time to switch things up.
Jaida Essence Hall
Our first queen is none other than Ms. Jaida Essence Hall.
She used every inch of her tiny apartment for her lip-sync, and honestly, her performance was jaw-dropping.
She had her start at Hamburger Mary’s, a drag-inspired restaurant chain (viaMilwaukee Journal Sentinel).
Jinkx Monsoon
Where do we even begin when it comes to Jinkx Monsoon?
Jinkx was a contestant and winner of RPDR season 5.
They are considered drag royalty, and we’re not wrong in calling them that.
With two studio albums, aholiday specialwith the terminally delightful BenDeLaCreme, Jinkx has been a rather busy queen.
“We’re focusing exclusively on the years that haven’t happened yet.
It’s a hypothetical retrospective,” Jinkx said regarding the upcoming shows.
Monet X Change made a rather memorable impression during her time on season 10 before sashaying away.
Monet has it all: comedy, glamour, and personality.
It’s no wonder why she was crowned Ms. Congeniality of her season.
It’ll be interesting to see what she brings to this season.
She made her RPDR debut on season 3 and stole the show.
Do you even know how talented you have to be for RuPaul to let you do her makeup?
The RuPaul of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
That, in and of itself, is a serve.
Raja (cont.)
Let’s just hope that favoritism doesn’t come into play during the competition.
We’re just excited to see what she’ll bring to a new age of drag.
Shea Coulee (Season 9)
Who’s ready to slay?
That’s Shea Coulee!
Ms. Coulee made a name for herself in season 9 of RPDR.
Coulee also debuted an EP in their time on RPDR.
What would Shea do next?
It should be interesting to see how these two friends compete against one another in this upcoming historic season.
How iconic is that?
“It’s hard.
In the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, she said, “There was no prize money in England.
Even if I come away with 10 pounds, I’m better off.”
We can’t wait to see how she takes on competing against all American queens.
Trinity the Tuck (Season 9)
Oh.
Trinity the Tuck is a living legend, and we stand by that.
Prior to RPDR, Trinity was an all-around pageant queen.
Imagine being named Entertainer of the Year over Alyssa Edwards because we can’t!
It feels cliche at this point, but we’re still living for it.
Why wouldn’t she?
Why wouldn’t anyone, honestly?
She got her crown during All Stars 4, but not the way she wanted.
She tied with Monet X Change, the first tie ever on RPDR.
So, yeah, she made history, but the glory wasn’t all theirs.
So perhaps All Stars 7 will be their chance to finally have a crown all to themselves.
Trinity made headlines besides the drag race when they announced they were transgender and non-binary.
In conclusion, you go, Trinity!
Yvie Oddly
Now, who could possibly forget Yvie Oddly?
The chaos queen herself made her debut on season 11 and came out on top.
It was a well-deserved win after the phenomenal season she had.
Yvie got into drag after seeing Sharon Needles on season 4.
She also holds a spot in RuPaul’s Las Vegas Residency, “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!”
