Who is competing on ‘Drag Race Mexico: Latina Royale’?
Check out the 11 queens via their official bios and the Meet the Queens video below.
Alexis Mateo (RuPaul’s Drag Race US, originally from Puerto Rico)
“With this new appearance, Alexis Mateo officially becomes the queen with the most seasons competed in Drag Race herstory. Throughout every edition, she carried the weight of representing the Latin community — never as token representation — but through undeniable talent, charisma, and a natural gift for comedy. Now, for the first time, she gets to compete fully in Spanish and use her platform to inspire her people in Puerto Rico and across Latin America.”
Barbie Q (Drag Race Germany, originally from Bolivia)
“Although her time in Drag Race Germany was short, Barbie Q made an emotional impact that was impossible to ignore from the very first episode. Her story sparked important conversations about LGBTQ+ visibility, body perception, and the contrast between the glamorous perfection of Barbie Q and insecurities outside of drag. Now, she returns stronger, more confident, and with an emotional clarity that completely transforms her presence both on and off the stage.”
DesiRée Beck (Drag Race Brazil, originally from Brazil)
“With an explosive personality and impossible-to-ignore charisma, Desirée turned every episode into must-watch television. Lip syncs quickly became her strongest weapon, especially after delivering an unforgettable double shantay performance of ‘Brasil’ by Gal Costa that proved she was born to entertain. Desirée is here to put Brazil firmly on the Latin map and prove that language will never stand in the way of true star power.”
Elektra Vandergeld (Drag Race México, originally from United States – Mexico)
“Elektra made an unforgettable first impression, winning the opening design challenge and quickly establishing herself as one of the most fashion-forward queens in the franchise. Now, Elektra returns with a different mindset: ready to let her guard down and show the human side beneath the perfection. She’s not back for revenge against anyone else — she’s back to reclaim her own story.”
Eva Blunt (Drag Race México, originally from Mexico)
“Eva came to Drag Race México as a true legend of Mexican drag, already respected and recognized by every queen in the Werkroom. With two memorable wins, in the design and makeover challenges, she also proved she’s never afraid to speak her mind, especially after feeling robbed in the Ball. With nothing left to lose and everything to prove, Eva is back to cement her legacy once and for all.”
Horacio Potasio (Drag Race México, originally from Mexico)
“From her first appearance in Drag Race Mexico, Horacio Potasio made it clear that the stage belonged to her the moment the music started playing. Quickly becoming the dancer to beat, she dominated choreography challenges while serving glamorous, high-impact runway looks. Horacio is back to prove that her best version is still ahead, and this time, she’s coming for the crown.”
Mariana Stars (Drag Race España, originally from Venezuela)
“From the very beginning of the competition, Mariana Stars established herself as one of the fiercest and most charismatic queens of her season. Her Snatch Game victory proved she could dominate comedy as well. Mariana isn’t just fighting for the crown; she’s fighting for the chance to build a family across all of Latin America.”
Matraka (Drag Race México, originally from Mexico)
“Matraka entered Drag Race México season 1 as a promising contender and quickly became one of the season’s most unforgettable breakout stars. Her full potential exploded during the Girl Band Challenge, delivering a verse that instantly became iconic among fans. This time, she’s back with one clear mission: to raise the bar and fight fiercely for the crown.”
Miss Abby OMG (Drag Race Holland, originally from Brazil)
“Miss Abby OMG burst onto ‘Drag Race Holland’ Season 1 as an unstoppable force. Although she hit bottom time after time, she slayed her way back through every lip sync straight to the finale. With Spanish as her weapon of choice, her goal is crystal clear: reach the finale.”
Regina Voce (Drag Race México, originally from Mexico)
“Regina Voce came to Drag Race carrying the weight of expectation and the talent to back it up. Still, Regina proved that charisma can’t be taught, becoming the meme queen of the season and one of the franchise’s most iconic personalities. This time, she’s not here to prove herself — she’s here to win.”
Xunami Muse (RuPaul’s Drag Race United States, originally from Panama)
“With her lighthearted humor, natural charisma, and infectious energy, Xunami Muse became one of the most beloved personalities in the Werkroom during season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Now, she returns with a much clearer sense of identity — ready to present herself to the world as a stronger, more polished version of herself.”
Executive producers for World of Wonder are Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell and RuPaul Charles.
