A Complete Guide to the Drag Families in ‘Drag Race’ Season 11

When it comes to RuPaul's Drag Race, it looks like, increasingly, the reality show likes to keep it all in the family. Season 10 featured a crop of queens with an extensive family ties to other Drag Race alumna. Most famously, the seasons' winner Aquaria is the drag daughter of season 4 winner Sharon Needles, making the mother-daughter pair the first to both have crowns.

This season, more than half the girls have familial relationships with previous Drag Race contestants, with several being either drag daughters or drag mothers to previous queens. Watch out Sharon and Aquaria, there may be another drag family coming for you.

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

You probably already know that "Miss Vanjie" is the daughter of season 3 and All Stars 1 queen Alexis Mateo. If you didn't know from the show, then you might have also gotten the info from Alexis's Instagram, where Vanessa makes frequent appearances.

A’Keria Chanel Davenport

Davenport, who is also the current reigning Miss Black Universe, is part of the famous "House of Davenport." You probably know the House of Davenport for two other amazing pageant queens, season seven and All Stars 3's Kennedy Davenport and season two's Sahara Davenport. But A'Keria is not alone: two other season 11 queens, Honey Davenport and Ra'Jah O'Hara are from the same tree.

Plastique Tiara

Season 11's youngest queen, Plastique Tiara is part of the infamous House of Edwards. (As Naomi Smalls said on All Stars 4, the house of "stunts, shenanigans and buffoonery.") Season 5 contestant Alyssa Edwards is Plastique's drag mother. The house includes Drag Race royalty like Shangela, Laganja Estranja, Gia Gunn and Vivienne Pinay. Infamously, the House of Edwards has never taken home a crown although they certainly do well for themselves booking Netflix shows (Alyssa) and walking the Oscars red carpet (Shangela) -- perhaps Plastique can change that.

Ra’Jah O’Hara

Don't let the name fool you. Her last name may match those of queens Phi Phi O'Hara, Eureka O'Hara and Asia O'Hara, but Ra'Jah is part of the House of Davenport, along with her season 11 sisters A'Keria Chanel and Honey.

Honey Davenport

Not only is Honey part of the Davenport drag family, she's also the drag mother to season 8 contestant and All Stars 4 winner Monet X Change. Though not technically a familial relationship, she was a backup dancer for season nine runner up Peppermint.

Kahanna Montrese

Kahanna is the daughter of Season 5 lip sync assassin and All Stars 2 queen Coco Montrese We'd love to see whether Kahanna has the same lip-syncing skills as her drag mother, but of course that means that she has to land in the bottom two.

Scarlet Envy

Is there something on my face? Or my family tree? Fashion student and Kentucky native Scarlet Envy is the drag daughter of season 7 contestant Pearl. If there's one thing that Pearl should have taught her daughter, it's that "nothing you say matters unless that camera is rolling."
