The Most Famous Drag Queens From RuPaul’s Drag Race

The Most Famous Drag Queens From RuPaul’s Drag Race

April 1, 2020 By Cade Hildreth

Can you believe RuPaul’s Drag Race has been on TV for 10+ years?

One of my favorite shows, this reality TV competition documents RuPaul’s search for “America’s next drag superstar.” Best of all, Rupaul has placed famous drag queens in the spotlight for over a decade. It’s hard to believe, right?

Even though time has flown by, the lessons we’ve learned from the queens aren’t easy to forget. They’ve taught us how to adapt against adversity, thrive in the world, and overcome serious challenges—on and off the stage.

Of course, we’ve also learned unforgettable catch phrases and sassy comebacks along the way.

Rupaul’s Most Memorable Drag Queens

To celebrate the show in all it’s glory, here are 7 of the most famous and fabulous drag queens Rupal has ever brought on stage.

1) Bianca Del Rio

As if I’d make a list about top drag queens without mentioning Bianca Del Rio.

With a whopping 2.1 million Instagram followers, she is one of the most famous drag queens out there. She was a hit on the show, winning season 6 and becoming one of the biggest names in the drag world.

Talented, hilarious, and with unbeatable design skills, it’s no surprise she did so well. Who remembers her finale look? It was a definite showstopper.

After Drag Race, Bianca created two independent films – Hurricane Bianca and Hurricane Bianca: From Russia With Hate. She also does plenty of stand-up and TV appearances, keeping her in the spotlight.

Keep doing your thing, Bianca.

2) Alyssa Edwards

When Alyssa Edwards entered the world of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, we all fell in love. She’s by far on the of the most popular and notable queens to ever hit the show.

With her iconic looks, killer personality, and all-around fabulousness, she was set for fame as soon as she entered.

After the show, she’s had a Netflix Original, Dancing Queen. It follows the life of this energetic drag queen and the dance studio she now owns and runs – Beyond Belief Dance Company.

The show was a roaring success, and you only have to check out Alyssa’s Instagram (where she has over 1 million followers) to see she’s still making waves as one of the world’s top drag queens.

3) Adore Delano

There’s no denying the success story that is Adore Delano. She was already a bit of a star when she came on Drag Race, having appeared on American Idol. She made it to the semi-final, representing queens everywhere in one of the most popular American reality shows of all time.

Next, she was a runner-up on Rupaul’s Drag Race, where she solidified her title as one of the best drag queens. Her 2014 album Till Death Do Us Party broke into the Billboard 200, landing at number 59. It also reached number 3 on the Billboard’s Dance/Electronic chart.

She then released After Party (2016) and Whatever (2017). Her headline tours were a huge success, and she now has a massive 2 million followers on Instagram.

4) Miz Cracker

I love a queen who uses their voice for good, and Miz Cracker definitely does.

After making it to the top 5 in season 10, Miz Cracker created a huge following and she now has over 1 million Instagram followers. Plus, she knows how amazing a platform like this can be and is using hers to talk about some real issues.

She’s written for the likes of Slate and Muck Rack, talking about LGBTQ+ topics and drag queen tips. She even won the Association of LGBTQ Journalists award in 2016!

Now she’s got a show, ‘American Woman’ that has been touring the world and empowering ladies. I love that Miz Cracker uses her voice for issues that need more exposure.

5) Shangela

Who doesn’t remember Shangela? It would be a travesty if she wasn’t on this list. Originally, Shangela was sent home first on season 2 (we know, it’s an outrage). But in season 3, she was back and ready to slay.

As the first returning queen ever, she showed off her talents and was even invited back for All Stars.

After the show, Shangela hit Hollywood. She had a role in A Star is Born, Netflix Original Super Drags, and is on the new show Katy Keene too. Check it out if you miss Shangela on your screen.

She also has a song, ‘Pay Me’, out and has appeared on tons of podcasts, TV shows, and YouTube videos. Take a look at more of what she’s doing on her Instagram and become one of her 1.3 million followers.

6) Courtney Act

Courtney Act is a queen who has used her exposure to the maximum.

After appearing on season 6 of Rupaul’s Drag Race, Courtney was part of The AAA Girls, a girl band formed with William and Alaska. They released the Kaleidoscope EP and even did a tour.

She really blew up when she started going on other reality shows and she now has 1.2 million Insta followers.

In 2018, Courtney competed – and won (!) – Celebrity Big Brother UK. She gathered a huge following there and made headlines time and time again as she was on the show. She then hosted the first bisexual dating show in the UK, The Bi Life.

Next, she went on Australia’s Dancing With The Stars, winning second place and gaining even more fans. As fame goes, Courtney Act has done very well.

She’s now a big media personality, both in Australia and the UK, and is often discussing LGBTQ+ topics on TV.

Watch out for Courtney in Neighbours, where she’s set to make an appearance.

7) Latrice Royale

She might not top the list for most Insta followers (she has around 900K followers), but Latrice is one successful queen.

We all fell in love with her sassy, joyful personality on Drag Race. She was definitely a character – and what a voice on this lady.

Since Drag Race, Latrice has been slaying the game. Not only is she touring the world with her show Klubkids, and doing tons of appearances on TV, she’s also a big presence behind the scenes.

This business-minded queen is now managing the careers of other queens, including Kennedy Davenport and Alexis Matteo.

It takes a whole new level of success to start managing other peoples careers!

Famous Drag Queens

I love our famous drag queens representing the LGBTQ+ community. They’ve shown the world that drag queens aren’t an entertainment act or a comedy show. They’re incredible people with incredible talent.

⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve lea ⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve learned was this:When you give yourself permission to be yourself, you give other people permission to be themselves.If someone is upset by you being fully yourself — whether that is gay or straight or gender expansive or in a relationship with someone your family disapproves of or anything else — it is sad for them, because what they are saying to you is, “I don’t believe I have permission to do what you are capable of doing.”When you realize this, the only reaction you can have toward them is compassion.Share a “💯” below if you’ve experienced this (or needed this reminder today)...👇🏽

⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Mo ⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Monday vetoed an anti-transgender health care bill that would've prohibited physicians in the state from providing gender-affirming "procedures" for trans people under age 18.Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters that he killed HB 1570 because the bill "would be and is a vast government overreach" and because it would've created "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people."Had the governor approved it, Arkansas would've been the first state in the nation to outlaw gender-affirming health care for trans youth, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.The governor also predicted during his remarks that the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly "will likely override" his veto, noting it takes only a simple majority to do so.Leave a “👏🏽” to show support for Governor Hutchinson or share your thoughts below. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Source: CNN

✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more ✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more developed and defined chest, a quick bar change from traditional barbell to Swiss Bar can help you hit new muscle fibers and supercharge your gains! 🔥💪🏽Why is this? 🤔1) As you can see, it switches your grip from horizontal (your grip on a straight barbell) to parallel. This rotates your entire arm, including the position of your elbow, shoulder, and all of the attached muscle groups.2) It lets you choose from a wide variety of widths. In this example, I choose the second from the middle grip, but you can work from extremely narrow to really wide.3) The balance/loading of the Swiss Bar feels extremely different than a straight barbell, so your accessory muscles get recruited to work extra hard throughout the path of the lift.Of course, if you add a pause at the bottom of the lift as the Swiss bar touches your chest, it can also increase the difficulty of the lift and introduce a new stimulus.Have you tried a Swiss Bar before? Let me know below... 👇🏽

Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping bod Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping body fat? 💪🏽🔥If so, you’re simply not going to beat the BIG compound lifts like the deadlift. 🔥🔥But, since the traditional deadlift puts a fair amount of strain on your lower and middle back, what should you do if you’re training multiple times per week? 🤔The answer? 👀1. Mix Up the Stimulus — The Hex Deadlift shown here is one of my favorite options, because it allows a more upright torso. This both lets you lift more weight and displaces some of the load across your hips and lower body.However, if you can’t access a Hex Deadlift bar at your gym, then you can use a normal barbell to do a...... Sumo Deadlift (wider stance)
... Deficit Deadlift (deeper range of motion)
... Or other variation of your choosing2. Vary Your Rep Range - In this video, I demo a higher rep range of 20 reps. In general, higher reps are associated with greater hypertrophy (muscle size growth).Higher reps will humble you because you’ll have to use less weight, but the muscle gains you experience will make it worth it!3. Amp Up Recovery - The two most powerful recovery tools you have at your disposal are food and sleep. So, how to best use them to your advantage?Consume whey protein and rapidly digestible carbs immediately post workout—and if you went heavy in your workout, then add a casein protein shake before bed too.Then, eat a full meal within approximately an hour of finishing your workout. Focus on consuming protein and carbs, while going lighter on fat.For sleep, nighttime is your anabolic period (i.e., when natural muscle recovery and growth occurs).So, get to bed either at or before your usual bedtime, keep the room ultra dark, and keep it cold enough that you need to be under the covers or you’ll end up shivering.I wear an @ouraring sleep ring and can confirm from personal experience that timing, temp, and darkness all have a huge effect on your sleep quality!Which tip are you going to try first? Let me know below... 👇🏽

To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive s To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings:💙 You are valid.
🤍 You are worthy.
💗 You are loved.Thank you for becoming who you were born to be, because you inspires others to be their true selves too.Always remember: Courage is contagious.Happy #TransDayOfVisibility—
From @qchristianorg:Being visible is important for the movement. For the individual, being visible can mean being one of the 20% of trans people who experience homelessness or the 25% who have been fired because of their gender identity.It could make you one of the 44 trans people who were killed last year for being trans.Being visible means risking rejection and abandonment, facing erasure in the name of religious freedom, being ridiculed, mocked, bullied and misgendered intentionally.It can mean being one of the 41% who, because of all this, attempt to end their lives.
