14 'Drag Race' Stars Who Define Trade
Timothy Rawles READ TIME: 14 MIN.
RuPaul's brand of competition reality television is literally taking over the world. After debuting "RuPaul's Drag Race" in 2009, Mama Ru has taken home multiple Emmys, gone international and launched a number of fierce drag queens' careers. Hundreds of queens have walked through the Werk Room doors – from all over the world and running the gamut of the art form.
One of the most exciting moments of a new season of "Drag Race" is when the queens take off their wigs and remove their makeup, revealing that they not only look great in drag but also easy on the eyes when they're out of it.
Below we have chosen some "trade" contestants across all brands that have thrilled us with their art, and after when all the makeup and clothes come off. Pit Crew beware!
Spice, "Drag Race" Season 15
Spice is a part of a set. His twin, Sugar is also on this list, but we will get to that later. As a part of the Season 15 US cast, Spice has traditionalists wondering if he can make it as a performer on a live stage. Known for his TikTok presence, this 23-year-old energetic imp has perfect skin, an athletic body, and a smile for days. He and his brother put the "twin" in twink.
Sugar, "Drag Race" Season 15
Sugar, twin to Spice, didn't last long on the new season but the duo are history makers as the first-ever biological twins to compete on the show. As you would expect there isn't much difference in their appearance out of drag, but that's okay because viewers get double the pleasure as they gaze upon this matching pair.
Aura Mayari, "Drag Race" Season 15
The list of sexy performers continues for Season 15! If you watch the show, then you know Aura isn't shy about his massive biceps and labeling himself the trade of the season. That being said he is also strong on the runway with looks that often get the judge's attention in a positive way. One of the downfalls of this season's shorter episodes is that we get to spend less time with the queens. Hopefully, the editors will see the value in giving Aura more thirst-inducing camera time.
Divinity, "Drag Race Italia" Season 1
One just needs to browse through Divinity's Instagram to understand why he is on this list. As a contestant on the inaugural season of "Drag Race Italia" he is a queen who looks just as beautiful, but completely different, out of makeup. With cheekbones for days, Divinity could be on the cover of Italian Vogue.
Milk, "Drag Race" Season 6, "All-Stars" Season 3
This ex-ice skater and Marc Jacobs model made her debut way back on Season 6 of "Drag Race" where it was quickly decided that Milk does a body good. In an effort to capitalize on her strapping good looks, Milk, who also appeared on "All Stars" Season 3, started an OnlyFans account where followers can view all of her assets.
Kaos, "Canada's Drag Race" Season 3
Canada's nickname The Great White North may describe its cold weather, but the heat is on "Canada's Drag Race" contestant Kaos. If you are into face tattoos or ear gauging, Kaos is like a living work of art.
