Who’s your queen of all queens? From BeBe Zahara Benet to Willow Pill, choosing an all-time favorite RuPaul’s Drag Race winner is no easy feat given their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. Ahead, the cast of Season 15 dish on their No. 1s.

MTV

Amethyst

“I would have to go with Bob the Drag Queen. She's super inspirational for me and I really admire the comedic mixes that I would watch on YouTube; I took a little piece of that and put it into my own drag.”

MTV

Anetra

“I love Jaida Essence Hall — from the beginning, obsessed. She did all of her runway [looks] herself and I thought that was admirable. She was funny, hilarious, really natural. I just love her. And she smokes a lot of weed — we have that in common.”

MTV

Aura Mayari

“I’m gonna have to say Sasha Velour. I know we’re two different types of queens — aesthetic wise and performance wise. But after that finale, I saw myself in her when she was performing and lip-synching.”

MTV

Irene DuBois

“The person who made the biggest impact on my life was definitely Raja. Watching Raja on Season 3 made me realize that there are identities out there besides man and woman, and she helped me realize my own non-binary identity.”

MTV

Jax

“That’s a tough one. I would have to say Sasha Velour. She had such a unique take on drag and combined it with her visuals and her background as an artist so beautifully. She really turned drag on its head, especially New York City drag. She took the world by storm.”

MTV

Loosey LaDuca

“I have two. My first one is Bianca Del Rio because she came in so incredibly prepared to win the season. The second for me would be The Vivienne, the winner of the first U.K. season, because she’s an incredible makeup artist and she’s extremely versatile.”

MTV

Luxx Noir London

“Sasha Velour. I wouldn’t even put her in the category of a drag artist — she’s truly a visionary. Everything that she does just has such a clearly thought-out vision and concept. I think that Sasha Velour is top-notch entertainment."

MTV

Malaysia Babydoll Foxx

“Myself? I’m just kidding. I admire Shea Couleé ‘cause I love how authentic she is, how she embraces who she is, and she really stands on that. She has this way of commanding the room when she walks in. Her drag always tells a story.”

MTV

Marcia Marcia Marcia

“I love Aquaria. I think she’s a true artist when it comes to drag and everything is always really cohesive, always really head-to-toe perfect. She’s stunning. She’s a great performer.”

MTV

Mistress Isabelle Brooks

“Bianca Del Rio. She’s the definition of I said what I said. As drag entertainers, it’s important to stand on what we say — say what you say, mean what you mean. She also is a representation of Latina drag, of good, Southern, put-together, traditional drag.”

MTV

Princess Poppy

“I'm going to say three. Shea Couleé just because she just is that girl. She's my favorite drag queen of all time. No. 2 would have to be Jinx [Monsoon] because she's the queen of all queens. And No. 3, I'm going to say Bob the Drag Queen.”

MTV

Robin Fierce

“My favorite is Bob the Drag Queen. Bob's season was the first that I watched. Although she was more of the funny girl, she literally could do anything, and I love that. I look up to that. I love a good laugh.”

MTV

Salina EsTitties

“I have to do a slash between Bianca and Bob the Drag Queen. Those two queens are comedy queens, they're crazy, they've built empires out of their wins, and they're still relevant today. That's the vibe I'm trying to be on.”

MTV

Sasha Colby

“I don't believe in monogamy when it comes to my love for drag. My first love is Raja. She was the end-all, be-all, and still is. And the love of my life is Sasha Velour. I love her so much and she has given me so many opportunities in the drag world.”

MTV

Sugar

“I naturally root for the underdog so I would have to say Shangela. She didn’t win her season, though she got very close with All Stars, but she really has won the whole thing — Dancing with the Stars, A Star Is Born, everything she’s done. She’s such an inspiration to me."

MTV

Spice

“I would definitely say Bianca Del Rio. I live for her and I really appreciate her approach in this kinda of PR world where everyone’s so afraid to say things. She just says it like it is. I always laugh at what she says. On a personal level, I will say Miss Jinx Monsoon.”

MTV
