Obsessed with the fantasy genre, this uniquely creative queen designs and sews her own outfits, often with a futuristic elf aesthetic. Add in the ability to beat a mean mug when needed, and this talented, twisted queen is ready to go all the way in the competition!Crystal EnvyWith looks so polished, its hard to believe this makeup artist and drag queen has only been performing for 3 years. In New Jersey, Crystal swiftly dominated the club scene. Crystal Envys name comes as a mixture of their birth name Chris, and the fact that every outfit she wears is bedazzled and sparkly. This pageant princess commands a club crowd, but can Crystal hold that same command over the judges this season?Hormona LisaThis Southern bubblegum babe was infamously plucked from the crowd by RuPaul on the Atlanta stop of his The House of Hidden Meanings book tour, and invited to Hollywood. Now officially a part of the season 17 cast, this campy queen - inspired by Disney princesses and vintage screen sirens - hopes to catch the eye of RuPaul again, this time where it counts the most: on the main stage of RuPauls Drag Race!Jewels SparklesOut of drag, this youthful queen has a sweetness and an innocence, and is a self-described "ditzy clumsy bimbo." But dont be fooled - Jewels intends to enter the competition with intention and strategy. With influences that range from Ariana Grande to Priscilla Presley, to her Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage, youd be foolish to underestimate this talented doll as merely a look queen."JoellaJoella calls herself The Slaysian Diva, and with her own unique style of drag, mixing traditional Chinese costume with street fashion and pop culture, you can see why. Having already won local West Hollywood drag bar contests, Joella is now ready to represent plus size queens in the biggest drag competition in the world.Kori KingThis boisterous queen has rapidly risen to the top of the Boston scene, amassing a respectable TikTok following along the way. Only in the drag game for 2 years, Kori has already been awarded Bostons Best New Performer To Watch award, and is the name on everybody's lips. She is season 16 finalist Plane Janes drag sister, so expect a razor sharp wit, and somebody who tells it like it is!Lana Ja'ReaLanas drag mother is Luxx Noir London, from season 15 of Drag Race, so expect a level of fierceness from this fashionista! Luxx saw Lana competing in a New York drag competition and was so impressed, she approached her backstage and asked if she could adopt her on the spot. Bringing legs and body to the main stage, Lana is ready to strut away from this competition with a crown!Lexi LoveLexi Love is a full-time playmate at Play, Louisville: a bar known for its high energy drag excellence. As a performer, Lexi knows how to turn the party up - but shes also someone youd love to kick it with. Having survived a period of homelessness and drug addiction, she has emerged a stronger and more independent queen, and is ready for the re-birth of Lexi to take over the world!Lucky StarzzzBorn in Havana, Cuba, Lucky Starzzz is an expressive, colorful, living cartoon! Luckys drag meets at the intersection of club kid and camp, and this resourceful queen uses as much paper and spray paint as she does sequins and rhinestones. Lucky describes her drag as a venus fly trap in a room full of roses. Can Luckys eye-catching creativity catch the eyes of the judges this season and win her the crown?Lydia B KollinsTo understand this absurdist, unique queen you only need to know that the B stands for b*tthole. Named after Winona Ryders character in Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz, and inspired by Tim Burton, John Waters and David Lynch, Lydia B Kollins is a queen who values creativity over perfection. Will the judges find Lydias looks BOOTYful, or will her time on Drag Race be a disASSter? Onya NurveSmashburger cook by day, enchanting and in-demand drag artist by night. Onya Nurve got bitten by the performance bug in high school, and took an artistic career path to drag via a BFA in Painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art. A comedic actress as well as being able to belt out a tune, Onya represents a real threat in this competition!Sam StarStunning, stylish, SOUTHERN! Sam is quite the Renaissance queen, having trained in musical theater, and being a retired gymnast / cheerleader who can do back handsprings! With polished makeup skills and a gorgeous mug, Sam has gone on to win an impressive number of pageant titles for such a young queen: its no surprise to learn that Trinity The Tuck is her drag mother and mentor. Suzie TootSuzies uniqueness is her greatest strength in drag. A professional tap dancer, with a look rooted deeply in 1920s and 30s fashions, Suzie describes herself as the "cross section between Betty Boop and Lucille Ball."
