The drag universe is getting a new international showdown.
World of Wonder has officially announced the cast for Drag Race Mexico: Latina Royale, a brand-new competition that brings together returning queens from across the global Drag Race franchise. Premiering July 30 exclusively on WOW Presents Plus, the Spanish-language series will feature 11 standout competitors representing Mexico and several international editions as they battle for the title of Latin Drag Superstar of the World.
Hosted by returning Drag Race México judges Lolita Banana and Taiga Brava, the series marks the first time queens from multiple Drag Race franchises will compete together entirely in Spanish. The cast spans contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Drag Race México, Drag Race España, Drag Race Brasil, Drag Race Germany, and Drag Race Holland.
With seasoned finalists, breakout stars, fan favorites and unforgettable lip-sync assassins all sharing one runway, the inaugural season promises plenty of competition, drama and celebration of Latin drag artistry.
Meet The Queens
Alexis Mateo
A RuPaul’s Drag Race legend representing Puerto Rico, Alexis Mateo enters the competition making franchise history as the queen with the most Drag Race appearances. Across every season, she has become known for sharp comedy, quick wit and effortless charisma while proudly representing the Latin community. Competing entirely in Spanish for the first time, Alexis hopes to inspire audiences across Puerto Rico and Latin America while continuing the legacy she helped build within the franchise.
Barbie Q
Originally competing on Drag Race Germany, Bolivia’s Barbie Q returns after becoming the season’s first eliminated queen. Although her original run ended early, her personal story sparked conversations about LGBTQ+ visibility, body image and self-confidence. Since leaving the competition, she has reconnected with drag through theater and creative projects, returning with renewed confidence and a fresh perspective on her artistry.
DesiRée Beck
Brazil’s DesiRée Beck became one of Drag Race Brasil‘s most memorable personalities thanks to her infectious energy and unapologetic authenticity. While she openly joked about not excelling at singing, dancing or sewing, her charisma consistently carried her through the competition. She also delivered one of the franchise’s standout lip syncs during a double shantay to Gal Costa’s “Brasil.” Returning with an updated drag aesthetic, DesiRée hopes to show how much she has grown while proudly representing Brazil.
Elektra Vandergeld
After winning the opening design challenge on Drag Race México, Elektra Vandergeld quickly established herself as one of the franchise’s strongest fashion competitors. Throughout the season, she also impressed judges with performances in comedy and musical challenges, proving there was much more to her than polished runways. Entering Latina Royale, Elektra says she’s ready to reveal a more vulnerable side while reclaiming her own story.
Eva Blunt
Already respected throughout Mexico’s drag scene before joining Drag Race México, Eva Blunt earned praise for her consistency, runway presentation and distinctive point of view. She captured victories in both the design and makeover challenges and wasn’t afraid to speak her mind when she felt overlooked. Now returning with greater confidence and independence, Eva is determined to solidify her place among the franchise’s elite competitors.
Horacio Potasio
Known as one of the strongest dancers to compete on Drag Race México, Horacio Potasio impressed judges with choreography, stage presence and glamorous runway presentations. Although critiques occasionally focused on her reliance on revealing looks, she later surprised everyone by winning the roast challenge, showing a knack for comedy as well. She returns with an evolved style and hopes to prove her strongest chapter is still ahead.
Mariana Stars
Representing Venezuela after competing on Drag Race España, Mariana Stars became known for both memorable television moments and standout performances. Her confidence, runway package and Snatch Game victory made her a finalist contender, while dramatic rivalries kept fans talking all season. Returning with a more focused mindset, Mariana hopes to leave past conflicts behind while building connections across Latin America.
Matraka
One of Drag Race México‘s biggest breakout stars, Matraka earned widespread praise for her artistic vision inspired by Mexican folklore. Her memorable Girl Group performance, striking concepts and three challenge wins made her an instant fan favorite. Returning to the werk room, Matraka plans to raise the creative bar once again while competing for the crown.
Miss Abby OMG
Brazilian queen Miss Abby OMG became one of Drag Race Holland‘s most resilient competitors after surviving multiple lip syncs on her way to the finale. Her fearless attitude and commanding stage presence helped make her one of the season’s most memorable contestants. This time, she enters the competition with a refined aesthetic and hopes her fluency in Spanish gives her an advantage.
Regina Voce
Before joining Drag Race México, Regina Voce had already built an impressive résumé through Queen of the Universe, Cirque du Soleil and the hit production Mentidrags: El Musical. During her season, she impressed judges with her performances while becoming one of the franchise’s most quoted personalities. Although runway critiques occasionally held her back, Regina returns feeling more polished than ever and focused on capturing the crown.
Xunami Muse
Fresh off RuPaul’s Drag Race season 16, Panama’s Xunami Muse quickly became one of the Werk Room’s most lovable personalities. Her humor and natural charm helped her connect with viewers, while strong mini challenge performances hinted at even greater potential. Returning to compete in Spanish, Xunami hopes to showcase a more complete version of herself while proudly representing Panama on the international stage.
A New Chapter For The Drag Race Universe
Unlike previous international editions, Drag Race Mexico: Latina Royale brings together queens from multiple countries who all share Latin roots. While each competitor arrives with a different style, background and Drag Race history, they’ll compete under one roof and one language as they fight for a brand-new title.
The series also expands World of Wonder’s growing Drag Race universe, joining a lineup that includes editions from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Holland, Thailand, Italy and the Philippines.
With seasoned veterans facing newer fan favorites, the competition has all the ingredients for an unpredictable season.
Drag Race Mexico: Latina Royale premieres July 30 exclusively on WOW Presents Plus.
