It’s usually a lot more fun when new seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars have some sort of theme going on for them. This is usually achieved through casting a lineup of queens that have a throughline (or enough similarities) between them.
For example, All Stars 8 had a lot of queens who went home very early in their seasons. All Stars 7 was the franchise’s first-ever all-winners edition. All Stars 6 was heavily marketed as a season of queens looking for a “Ru-demption.” Given how much the show has featured lip syncing challenges, pushed for the label of Lip Sync Assassin, and even introduced a finale lip sync for the crown, it would be incredibly exciting to watch an All Stars season entirely cast with some of the best lip syncers in Drag Race herstory.
With that in mind, it’s time for us to have some fun and fan-cast an all-Lip Sync Assassin season of All Stars!
Scroll through to check out our top picks when fan-casting an all-Lip Sync Assassins season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, which is available for streaming on Paramount+.
Latrice Royale is one of the most compelling lip sync performers that have ever been featured on Drag Race. Though we often talk about her powerful lip sync to “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” by Aretha Franklin, which took place in season four, Latrice also delivered great performances on All Stars 1 and All Stars 4. Giving her another shot at the crown during an all-Lip Sync Assassin season would be a literal gag.
When it came to lip syncing, Coco Montrese was basically unbeatable throughout her time on Drag Race season five. Given that she didn’t have the best run on All Stars 2, it’s only right that this queen is brought back for another shot at entering the Hall of Fame. Watching Coco compete against a full cast of Lip Sync Assassins on All Stars… that would be such a dream.
Laganja Estranja’s lip syncing skills were already very well-established during her time in season six of Drag Race. When she came back as a surprise Lip Sync Assassin on All Stars 6 and went up against the iconic Trinity K. Bonet, Laganja’s cache with the Drag Race fandom skyrocketed to even higher levels. C’mon All Stars, let’s get sickening and cast Laganja as a competitor!
In the ever-changing discourse of Lip Sync Assassins, it really doesn’t get any better than Kennedy Davenport. Between her track records on season seven and All Stars 3, Kennedy is absolutely a must-have for an All Stars season of Lip Sync Assassins. She got very close to entering the Drag Race Hall of Fame during All Stars 3, but it’s time to give her another chance.
Fans have been wanting Peppermint to compete on All Stars for several years now. However, it seems like Peppermint has been focusing on other creative endeavors like starring in movies and TV shows, releasing new music, hosting podcasts, and performing on musical theater productions. At this point, Peppermint would be a frontrunner in quite literally any season of All Stars that she chose to compete in… and even more so in a season of Lip Sync Assassins!
Kameron Michaels made it impossible for any queen to send her home throughout Drag Race season 10, getting herself all the way to the lip sync for the crown against Aquaria and Eureka. It would be a huge treat for fans to watch Kameron competing on an All Stars level, and we’re already daydreaming of the wonderful lip syncs we’d be getting from her all season long.
Unfortunately, Widow Von’Du seemed to lose some confidence in herself over the course of season 12. But make no mistake: Widow is one of the most exciting Lip Sync Assassins that have ever been featured in this series. Casting her on an All Stars alongside other lip sync pros would be incredible, point-blank period.
Denali on an all-Lip Sync Assassins season of All Stars smells like “100% Pure Love.” This queen had a very strong showing throughout season 13 but unfortunately didn’t get as many flowers as she deserved. On All Stars, it would be very exciting to see the stunts and shenanigans that this queen could pull off.
RuPaul, the judging panel, and viewers at home were all mesmerized by Jorgeous every time that she lip synced in season 14, so one can only imagine how fierce it would be to cast her against other Lip Sync Assassins of the franchise on All Stars. This young queen is extremely talented and definitely deserves another chance to snatch the Drag Race crown.
Every time Anetra lip synced on Drag Race season 15 immediately turned into an unforgettable moment. Though she’s just been introduced to the franchise in 2023, Anetra has already made a huge name for herself and has proven herself among fans. At this point, Anetra on All Stars feels like a given – and we can’t think of a better inclusion than during a season of Lip Sync Assassins.
Drag Race has literally never been the same since Sasha Velour's wig reveal heard 'round the world during her performance against Shea Couleé in in the season 9 finale. Frankly, we would love to see them both come back for one special rematch. Could you even imagine?
