Meet the Queens: RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 7

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is back with Series 7, premiering Thursday 25 September 2025, and the stage is set for twelve fierce, fabulous, and flamboyant queens to compete for the title of the UK’s Next Drag Superstar.

Here are the contestants you’ll be cheering (or booing) this season:

The Queens

Catrin Feelings (26, Rhondda Valley, Wales)
A “blonde bilingual bombshell”, Catrin learned to lean into drag during lockdown. Glamorous, comedic, and full of personality, she’s ready to flex her style and wit in every challenge.

Tayris Mongardi (27, Brighton, England)
Bold and unapologetic, Tayris blends inspiration from Black queer icons with high drag glamour. Expect runway looks that stun and performances that demand attention.

Sally™ (34, South Shields, England)
Wit is Sally’s weapon. Known for original looks, humor, and unexpected twists, she’s the kind of queen who can catch you off guard—exactly the sort of surprise that makes Snatch Game memorable.

Silllexa Diction (26, Leeds, England)
Extreme silhouettes, dramatic presence, and plenty of theatrical flair. Silllexa isn’t just bringing looks—she’s bringing spectacle.

Pasty (30, Cornwall, England)
Fantasy, camp, and a lot of tongue-in-cheek fun. Pasty likes her drag larger than life, sparkly, and unpredictable.

Nyongbella (25, London, England)
With a background in fashion editorials, Nyongbella wants to marry runway polish with artistic storytelling. Her Cameroonian roots and elevated style may help her stand out.

Paige Three (28, London/Surrey, England)
A seasoned performer: pageants, glamour shows, bingo hosting—you name it. Paige Three is bringing all her experience to the werk room, looking to go deep into the competition.

Elle Vosque (22, Belfast, Northern Ireland)
Young, ambitious, and sharp, Elle sees drag as both craft and art. She’s been honing her makeup, performance, and looks, and will be one to watch for refined, detailed runway moments.

Viola (22, Coventry, England)
With musicality in her DNA—singing, violin—Viola blends high art with drag. Her performances may bring an emotional or classical twist not always seen in typical runway or lip-sync challenges.

Chai T Grande (32, London, England)
Pop princess meets bold camp. Chai T Grande is here for showstoppers, big wigs, big personality, and memorable moments.

Bonnie Ann Clyde (30, Dublin, Ireland / Manchester, England)
Glamorous but grounded; each of her looks carries stories, grit, or duality. Bonnie Ann Clyde brings cross-border flair and tenacity.

Bones (25, London, England)
Fantasy, theater, details. Bones is witchy boho meets immersive storytelling. Expect something visual, something textured, and something you’ll remember.

What to Keep an Eye On

With the cast now revealed and the premiere just around the corner, here are a few things to watch for in Series 7:

• Runway excellence: Elle Vosque, Nyongbella, and Bones are likely to deliver standout looks with polish and detail.
• Comedy & Snatch Game: Queens like Catrin Feelings, Sally™, and Tayris Mongardi may shine in comedic challenges and impersonations.
• Storytelling & Identity: Viola and Nyongbella have personal or cultural backgrounds that could play into emotional & narrative-driven performances.
• Unexpected wins: The drag game often rewards risk—those who push boundaries in challenges or runway might snag surprise wins.

Series 7 promises to be a diverse, dramatic, and dazzling season. Mark your calendars for 25 September – the ball is back, and the queens are ready to werk.
