RuPaul's Drag Race Queens Who Are Still Besties

Unlike what Season 4 competitor Lashauwn Beyond claims, sometimes it really is "RuPaul's best friend race." Through nearly 30 seasons spanning a dozen countries, the Emmy Award-winning "RuPaul's Drag Race" has introduced countless drag entertainers to global audiences. While many reality shows focus on rivalries, "Drag Race" offers a unique perspective on lasting friendships that have developed between its contestants. These iconic duos have captured the hearts of millions, showcasing the strength of their connections both on and off the screen.

Many of the queens embark on world tours together after their time on the show, solidifying the bonds they formed in the "werk room." Season 6 contestant Laganja Estranja shared, "I connect with many of the girls... it's really cool that [working together] is this long process of getting to know your sisters." Some queens met and even dated before competing, while others crossed paths after their separate seasons. Regardless of when they met, their camaraderie transcends the screen, inspiring fans with their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.

In a world where friendships can sometimes be fleeting, the connections forged on "Drag Race" have proven to be enduring. The queens not only support each other during their respective journeys but also create memorable moments that resonate with fans. From touring together to sharing personal milestones, their relationships demonstrate the power of friendship within the vibrant and often competitive world of drag.
