Aquaria, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner and one of drag’s greatest fashion exports, has laid her cards on the table as to whether she would be down for competing on an All Winners’ All Stars season. 

The 29-year-old drag superstar, who shot to fame after winning Drag Race season 10 back in 2018 when she was just 22, has confirmed that she’s down for a comeback.

Speaking to Pride, the New York City-based queen joked that she would love to “kick Onya Nurve’s ass” in an All Winners tournament, as the season 17 winner has also recently said that she’s keen to compete on All Stars.

“This one’s for Jewels,” Aquaria joked, referring to season 17’s runner-up, Jewels Sparkles.

Aquaria explained that she thinks there’s misconceptions about her that she’d love to correct with a Drag Race Ruturn.

“I know that I could show so much more of a fun side of me,” she said.

“I’m like literally so funny, so talented, so smart, and people think that I’m dumb, stupid, not-so-funny, beautiful. Why do they think these things about me?” she quipped.

The fashion icon, who, alongside season seven winner Violet Chachki was the first Drag Race winner to appear at the Met Gala, reiterated that she wants to show a “different side” to her drag persona.

“It would have to be a non-elimination season,” she continued. “But if it was an elimination season, me and my lipstick, I would be sending b*tches [home] left and right.”

During season 10, Aquaria stormed the competition by becoming the first competitor in the show’s history to win both the Snatch Game and Ball challenges in one season. She also won the “Evil Twins” runway challenge.

Aquaria is one of a number of RuPaul’s Drag Race winners who have confirmed their interest in returning for an All Winners’ All Stars season, following the success of the first such season All Stars 7 in 2022.

Fan favourites including Sasha Velour, Sasha Colby, and Nymphia Wind have all voiced their desire to return, though some queens – including Bianca Del Rio and Chad Michaels – have suggested that they have no interest in coming back to the competition.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 10 is currently airing on Paramount+ in the US, and WOW Presents Plus internationally.
