For two days, RuPaul’s DragCon invaded the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles, California, with a fierce gathering of drag queens, celebrities, and fans. This was the third and largest edition of DragCon yet, bringing together an inclusive community of fans – DragCon promotes a harassment-free policy for everyone "regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.”
The fabulously popular reality show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, features over 100 drag queens from across the world and has been the driving force in elevating the art of drag from bars, into mainstream culture and onto our TV screens since 2009. Every facet of the DragRace empire and RuPaul Charles's career has championed breaking down identity and gender norms and loving yourself.
The energy was fun, inviting, buzzing with creative spirit and unlike any other convention, DragCon hosted lip syncs, makeup tutorials, in addition to its panels, meet and greets and more. Fans of all ages were able to meet their favorite queens like Katya Zamolodchikova, Latrice Royale, and Alyssa Edwards, with many death drops and tongue pops in between. With that, here are some of the positively fiercest drag queens at DragCon. Yaaaasss!
