'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 13: Meet Gottmik, Utica Queen, Symone and the rest of the cast of VH1's fabulous show
Winners of six Emmy Awards are upping the stakes this year with a brand new, exciting cast. 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 13 will be a different season and definitely live up to its reputation of selecting queens whose talents are not limited to runway walks and lip-sync performances. Let's take a look at the Season 13 roster.
Denali
A figure skater who can backflip like there's no tomorrow. The Chicago-resident's drag aesthetic is plush and draws inspiration from the Alaskan mountains. She may be fairly new to the world of drag but is ready to conquer it with her drive to win the ultimate prize.
Elliott
A professional dancer who worked as a showgirl in Las Vegas, Elliott has more than just kicks and splits to offer. She comes with an '80s aesthetic, which is what makes her stand out.
Gottmik
This Los Angeles-based makeup artist is the first trans male to star in the show. His backstory and drag journey is explosive, and will definitely earn him cool points for putting himself out there fearlessly.
Joey Jay
She has "unmatched" rhinsetoning skills, which gives her an edge but not more than the fact that she's a dancing powerhouse, which will easily help her bag points in the lip-sync rounds.
Kahmora Hall
Kahmora Hall's runway looks are expensive and attract a lot of attention. But, will that be enough to survive the fierce competition? Only time will tell.
Kandy Muse
She is Brooklyn's Drag Queen of the Year and quite the rage on social media. This "Dominican doll" is a force to reckon with. It's evident that she's here to kill the competition.
LaLa Ri
This Atlanta-born entertainer brings charm like no other. She is "sexy, classy, and sassy" and those alone will assist her in working her way to the top.
Olivia Lux
A paino player with an old Hollywood drag aesthetic, she is a combination worth millions. Olivia is here to dazzle with her smile and shine till the very end.
Rosé
She is part of a girl group called Stephanie's Child, which makes her resume stronger than the rest. But just singing along will not get her the tag of 'America's Next Drag Superstar'.
Symone
As VH1 puts it, Symone is truly the "ebony enchantress" the show needs this year. Although from a small town, Symone has a strong and unique sense of fashion, which makes her quite the competition.
Tamisha Iman
She's the most experienced of the lot. Over the decades, Tamisha has formed a dynasty where she has taken 53 kids under her wing. Tamisha is also a cancer survivor but hardly ever uses that as an excuse to not perform. She does her jewelry, makeup, hair and costumes all by herself, which makes her a strong competitor.
Tina Burner
Tina's journey — from being a part of a boy band to arriving at 'RuPaul's Drag Race' stage — has been inspirational. In addition to this, she is a costume comedy queen and reigning National Miss Comedy Queen 2019.
Utica Queen
Her drag aesthetic is inspired by a lot of things — farm animals, the bible and Russian paintings being some of them. Apart from the cash and trophy, Utica is looking to make new sisters and also hoping to find a spouse on the show.
