These queens entered the 'Drag Race' winners circle in 2024!

The ever-expanding RuPaul's Drag Race franchise crowned 11 winners in 2022, then broke that record right away with the crowning of 13 winners in 2023. But if you really thought that Mama Ru's empire was slowing down anytime soon, you were sadly mistaken!

In 2024, a record-breaking 14 queens around the world became Drag Race winners in the same calendar year. So, without further ado, let's take a lap around the world and learn more about the brand-new Drag Race winners who made herstory for this beloved franchise.

Scroll through to learn more about these newly-crowned RuPaul's Drag Race winners from 2024.

Venus — 'Canada's Drag Race' Season 4

The fourth season of Canada's Drag Race was an exciting, dramatic, and fascinating cycle within the Drag Race universe. Besides the intriguing Golden Beaver twist (which we loved!), season 4 also featured a phenomenal cast of queens that fans immediately loved.

Following the elimination of fan-favorite Melinda Verga, the top 4 queens on the show were Venus, Aurora Matrix, Denim, and Nearah Nuff. All four queens had pretty similar track records, but this finale did feel like it was all coming down to the lip sync for the crown. On January 11, Venus was crowned the winner of Canada's Drag Race season 4 — as well as the first-crowned queen of 2024.

Drag Sethlas — 'Drag Race España All Stars' Season 1

Drag Race España has become a cultural phenomenon that, despite being a relatively new series, was already greenlit for an All Stars edition right away. The first-ever Drag Race España All Stars ended on March 17 with a top 4 consisting of Drag Sethlas, Hornella Góngora, Juriji der Klee, and Samantha Ballentines.

After Sethlas and Samantha's lip sync for the crown to "Eloise" by Tino Casal, Supremme de Luxe declared that Sethlas was the first-ever winner of Drag Race España All Stars.

Alvilda — 'Drag Race Belgique' Season 2

All tea, no shade, but season 2 of Drag Race Belgique was a big mess. Quite a few queens broke the rules of the competition (like sneaking into the main stage while the judges are away to read through their notes). But the show — hosted by Canada's Drag Race season 1 runner-up Rita Baga — dealt with those rule-breaks in a manner that is still hard for fans to comprehend.

But setting those shenanigans aside, Alvilda got to the finale having won three maxi challenges and only lip syncing for her life once. There's no denying that this cycle of Drag Race Belgique was pretty head-scratching… and yet, as the season concluded with its grand finale on March 21, a lot of fans did agree Alvilda is a sickening queen that should be crowned as the winner.

Tia Kofi — 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World' Season 2

Drag Race fan-favorite Tia Kofi came back into the second edition of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs. the World seeming focused, confident, and 'galvanized' to snatch that crown. After winning four maxi challenges and never landing in the bottom, Tia got to the finale alongside Hannah Conda, La Grande Dame, and Marina Summers.

Fans went into that final episode, which aired on March 29, feeling deeply in love with all four of those finalists. Nonetheless, Mama Ru declared that Tia was the rightful winner of UK vs. the World season 2 and anointed her as the new Queen of the Mother-Tucking World.

Nymphia Wind — 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 16

All the way from Taiwan, Nymphia Wind came into the 16th season of RuPaul's Drag Race ready to conquer it. She won three maxi challenges and never had to lip sync for her life — making it all the way to the finale alongside Sapphira Cristál and Plane Jane.

The finale of Drag Race season 16 had us all on the edge of our seats. Both Sapphira and Plane had won four challenges, which put them slightly ahead of Nymphia. On the other hand, given that viewers had never seen Nymphia lip sync on the show, some wondered if she'd be able to out-perform Plane and Sapphira.

After a gag-worthy lip sync for the crown between Nymphia and Sapphira, Mama Ru declared that Nymphia was America's Next Drag Superstar.

Le Filip — 'Drag Race France' Season 3

Le Filip was crowned on Drag Race France season 3 despite not winning a single maxi challenge in the competition. This is only the second time in the overall RuPaul's Drag Race franchise that a queen is crowned without having won a maxi challenge — the first time being Elecktra Bionic on Drag Race Italia season 1.

While Le Filip did land in the top 2 for the Rusical, she ultimately lost the lip sync for the win to Leona Winter. The very next episode — which featured the Snatch Game — had Le Filip in the bottom 2 for the first (and only) time. Thankfully, she won that lip sync against Norma Bell to the tune of "Marcia Baïla" by Les Rita Mitsouko.

Le Filip reached the grand finale alongside Ruby On The Nail, Leona Winter, and Lula Strega. Each queen had to perform a song, and Le Filip's number to "Hrvatica Baby" absolutely stood out. Keiona, the legendary winner of Drag Race France season 2, was present on the stage as host Nicky Doll crowned Le Filip as France's Next Drag Superstar.

Angeria Paris VanMicheals — 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9'

Angeria Paris VanMicheals brought her A-game to the charity-themed season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9. Despite facing some tough competition from drag titans like Roxxxy Andrews, Gottmik, Shannel, Plastique Tiara, Vanessa Vanjie, Nina West, and Jorgeous, it still turned out that Angeria won the most badges (6), tied with most maxi challenge wins (4), and was cut/blocked more than anyone else in the competition (3 times).

The grand finale of All Stars 9 came down to Angeria making it to the top 3 with Roxxxy and Vanjie. The three queens lip synced for the crown to "Rhythm Nation" by Janet Jackson, and Angeria came out on top — officially entering the Drag Race Hall of Fame and earning a cash donation of $200,000 to the charity she represented.

Lemon — 'Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs the World' Season 2

Third time's the charm — and we love to see it! After being a standout competitor in the first-ever season of Canada's Drag Race and unfortunately going home way too early on UK vs the World season 1, Lemon returned with a zesty vengeance to compete in the second season of Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs the World. Not only did she steamroll the competition and won two maxi challenges, but Lemon never even got close to touching the bottom 3.

In the lip sync bracket at the grand finale, Lemon won her first lip sync against Kennedy Davenport and then defeated Alexis Mateo in the ultimate lip sync for the crown — becoming the new Queen of the Mother-Pucking World and receiving her crown and specter from the legendary Ra'Jah O'Hara.

Leexa Fox — 'Drag Race México' Season 2

Lolita Banana returned as one of two hosts and main judges of Drag Race México season 2… but this time accompanied by Taiga Brava — the winner of Queen of the Universe season 2 — replacing Valentina as Lolita's costar.

The second season of Drag Race México had some fierce competition between 13 stunning and talented queer artists who showed what Mexican drag is all about! Ultimately, the top 4 of the season consisted of Eva Blunt, Horacio Potasio, Jenary Bloom, and Leexa Fox. Despite having the fewest wins at the grand finale, Leexa's overall consistency on Drag Race México paid off.

And just like that, Lolita Banana and Taiga Brava crowned Leexa Fox as the winner of Drag Race México season 2. We're living for it!

Maxie — 'Drag Race Philippines' Season 3

Drag Race Philippines season 3 was yet another phenomenal cycle for the series, proving that this is one of the best and most exciting international adaptations of RuPaul's Drag Race in the world.

Maxie had a stellar track record on the show that included three maxi challenge wins — the girl-groups challenge, the improv challenge, and the makeover challenge — and never having to lip sync for her life. As the competition was narrowed down to a top 4 finale between Angel, Khianna, Maxie, and Tita Baby, Drag Race Philippines host Paolo Ballesteros determined that Maxie and Khianna would get to lip sync for the crown to the tune of "Lipad ng Pangarap" by Angeline Quinto and Regine Velasquez.

The grand finale ended with Maxie's crowning, and it felt correct for this talented queen to be chosen as the winner of Drag Race Philippines season 3.

Alyssa Edwards — 'RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars' Season 1

Alyssa Edwards returned to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars after not snatching the crown on Drag Race season 5 and going home right before the grand finale of All Stars 2.

This time, Alyssa competed with 11 queens from all over the world and made it to the finale episode for the first time in her Drag Race journey. As she went up against fellow finalists Nehellenia (Drag Race Italia), Kitty Scott-Claus (Drag Race UK), and Kween Kong (Drag Race Down Under), the tongue-popping queen from Mesquite, Texas emerged as the crowned queen of Global All Stars.

Kyran Thrax — 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK' Season 6

Kyran Thrax got to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 6 along with finalists La Voix, Marmalade, and Rileasa Slaves. This was a particularly talented and charismatic cast of the U.K. series, but Kyran and La Voix were the two clear frontrunners all season long.

Neither Kyran nor La Voix ever had to lip sync for their lives throughout the season. In terms of track records, La Voix had four maxi challenge wins, while Kyran had three. After lip syncing for the crown to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen, RuPaul announced that Kyran had joined the legendary echelon of Drag Race UK chm

Le Cocó — 'Drag Race España' Season 4

Le Cocó had a solid track record that included two maxi challenge wins — the advertisements challenge and the comedy roast challenge — and only one bottom placement in the makeover episode. This Madrid queen made it to the top 3 of the season alongside La Bella Vampi and Chloe Vittu.

When the time came for host and main judge Supremme de Luxe to crown someone, Le Cocó was the chosen winner of Drag Race España season 4.

Frankie Wonga — 'Drag Race Thailand' Season 3

Superfans waited five whole years for the third season of Drag Race Thailand, and host/main judge Pangina Heals did pull off a fabulous comeback.

Four queens got to compete at the finale of Drag Race Thailand season 3 — Frankie Wonga, Gawdland, Spicy Sunshine, and Zepee — but the lip sync for the crown came down to a top 2 of the season: Frankie and Zepee. After their lip sync performances to a Christina Aguilar song, Pangina Heals crowned Frankie Wonga as the winner.

Lazy Susan — 'Drag Race Down Under' Season 4

There was plenty of speculation and curiosity leading up to Drag Race Down Under season 4, the first-ever season to feature Michelle Visage as the host and main judge in the series previously hosted by RuPaul.

This fourth season of Australian and New Zealander queens on Drag Race featured a top 4 making it to the very end: Freya Armani, Lazy Susan, Mandy Moobs, and Vybe. Ultimately, though, Lazy Susan's track record of three maxi challenge wins (runway challenge, girl groups challenge, and acting challenge) without a single bottom placement made her the clearest choice to win the season and get crowned by Visage herself.
