The hotly anticipated reveal of the drag queens for season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race has landed and we are positively living.
Premiering on VH1 on 22 March, season 10 has come back a slicker version of the show, going beyond anyone’s expectations for a drag queen reality TV competition.
Each episode will be super-sized at 90 minutes long. The behind the scenes companion show, Untucked, will move off YouTube and premiere on VH1 for the first time.
The signifigance of making it to season 10 was not lost on mother herself, RuPaul.
‘While preparing for season 10, I realized that one of our contestants was 11 years-old when we first launched Drag Race,’ RuPaul told EW about the new cast.
‘The fact that we’re still here and still going strong is because of our talented queens. They are the heart and soul of the series.
‘And as they continue to evolve and push the boundaries of drag, so does Drag Race.’
Check out the 14 queens here.

Season nine’s Alexis Michelle is her drag sister and she’s known for her trademark dotted brows.
Dusty’s has punk-inspired aesthetic and probably want to see her lip sync for her life because she’s known for her out-of-the-box performances.

Eureka’s getting a second shot at the crown after injuring her leg in season nine. The Florida has a lot to prove and could get a redemptive arc after coming across as argumentative in season nine.

A small town girl, with big city dreams Kalorie is not afraid to get sexy and give her booty a shake when on stage. Watch out for her wigs, working as a hairstylist during the day Kalorie is sure to serve us some fierce hair.

The Harlem based queen is definitely one to watch because not only can she pull off fierce looks and hair but she’s as comfortable doing a jumping splits as she is delivering a funny quip on stage.
Her ‘Review with a Jew‘ show on YouTube is also well worth checking out.
10. Monét X Change. Bronx, New York

Rapper/drag queen/model/songwriter/actress, The Vixen is a multiple threat. The ‘savage drag queen’ is politically engaged and will call people out on the ‘bullshit’.
13. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo. Tampa, Florida

Vanessa works as a makeup artist out of drag, so we can expect exceptional painting talents from this queen. Her Twitter bio reads: ’50$ bucks grandpa (sic), for 75$ the wife can watch’.
