Top 10 Over the Top RuPaul's Drag Race Moments
#10: Aja’s Variety Show Performance All Stars 3
Top 10 RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 7 Moments
This gag-worthy routine is full of fun reveals and sickening moves – Aja has got some serious dance skills! We can also thank it for giving us one of the best and most quotable moments around. The queen’s stunts have had us absolutely mesmerized since we first saw them. What can we say? She’s fierce and she knows it. Plus, she does a fabulous job lip syncing to her own original song. This is someone who knows how to command an audience’s attention, using her natural talents to make jaws drop.
#9: Laganja Estranja as the Lip Sync Assassin All Stars 6
Oof, that looks like it hurts. But there’s no denying Laganja knows how to make an entrance. She fully steals the show before the lip sync even starts – talk about being over the top in the best way! And, to no one’s surprise, she does incredibly well once it does, too. She’s not the assassin for nothing. Trinity K. Bonet is a super fierce performer, and definitely gives her a run for her money. But at the end of the day, Laganja’s dance skills make it hard to take our eyes off her. Who doesn’t love a queen who can pull off a crazy entrance, make you laugh, deliver a stellar performance – and dazzle everyone while doing it?
#8: Shangela’s Sugar Daddy Speech “Untucked” Season 3
As far as “Drag Race” arguments go, Shangela and Mimi Imfurst’s throwdown in “Untucked” is without question one of the most unforgettable in herstory. That’s thanks in large part to the former queen. Mimi makes a huge mistake when she tries coming for Shangela, who’s beyond capable of fighting back and reads her, delivering the most dazzling monologue. It’s a master class in knocking someone down a few pegs. The way Shangie defends her hard work and dedication to drag will leave you speechless. She’s vicious and fabulous all at the same time!
#7: Anetra’s Talent Show Performance Season 15
If you’ve already seen this performance, chances are you’re just like us and have rewatched it over and over again. If you somehow haven’t yet, well, get ready to have your mind blown. Anetra shows off her sickening lip sync skills and signature duck walk, and we’re into it. As if that wasn’t enough on its own, she also puts her several years of taekwondo experience to good use and starts breaking boards like it’s nothing. Not to mention, she does all this while looking absolutely gorgeous. This is definitely the moment we all fell in love with Anetra.
#6: Brooke Lynn Hytes vs Yvie Oddly Season 11
Top 10 Times Brooke Davis was the Best Character on One Tree Hill
There are some lip syncs you simply can’t miss – this is one of them. It’s also one that makes you sore just watching it! Brooke Lynn Hytes and Yvie Oddly sure know how to put on a show. They’re both all over the stage showing off their crazy moves. That’s made even better by the fact that each of them has their own unique performance style, and their personalities really shine through. Plus, their stunts are so impressive we find ourselves entranced from start to finish. Meanwhile, their beautiful, shimmering outfits add that extra touch of perfection. Needless to say, this is one of the most flawless battles the main stage has seen.
#5: Sasha Velour’s Rosy Reveal Season 9
What a legendary grand finale moment. None of us expected this move, and to this day it still feels powerful to watch. The planning that must’ve gone into making sure all the details lined up for the reveal to work is beyond impressive. It goes without saying, but Sasha is truly one of the most innovative queens out there. As soon as you realize what’s happening when that wig comes off and the rose petals fall, it’s impossible not to be stunned. It’s so theatrical! It’s so epic! We don’t think we’re exaggerating when we say it helped certify Sasha’s eventual win, either.
#4: Violet Chachki’s “Death Becomes Her” Runway Look Season 7
Violet Chachki is deservedly known for her incredible and creative outfits, and this ensemble is one of the best examples of why. We’re still not over it, and it’s been years! First of all, her itty bitty waistline is literally unbelievable. She’s cinched so impossibly tight it seems like a miracle she can even make it down the runway! Honestly, we can’t help but wonder where on earth her internal organs go. Even putting that aside though, the look and accessories tell a story that captures Violet’s total dedication to fashion. Now that’s what you call drop dead gorgeous attire.
#3: Jinkx Monsoon’s Judy Garland Snatch Game All Stars 7
Top 10 Jinkx Monsoon Moments on RuPaul’s Drag Race
Have you ever seen a more flawlessly extravagant Snatch Game? RuPaul is absolutely roaring with laughter, and we are too. After delivering an amazing impression of Natasha Lyonne in the first round, Jinkx Monsoon takes it up a notch with an impression of the inimitable Judy Garland. The queen perfectly embodies the actress, and just completely dominates. It’s naughty, funny, and downright fabulous. Jinkx — or should we say Judy — has a great rapport with Ru, and knows how to make the jokes just the right amount of ridiculous. It’s probably safe to say this is one of the best Snatch Game performances of all time. It’s certainly the most deliciously over the top one!
#2: Tatianna’s Talent Show Performance All Stars 2
It’s not often a queen chooses spoken word as their talent on “Drag Race”. But fans know that Tatianna is no ordinary queen, and she proved as much on “All Stars”. Her “The Same Parts” piece is simple, but her execution is so incredible it blows us away. Talent show performances don’t get much more iconic. The hilarious and naughty tale has us living, and it’s made all the better by the queen’s ability to captivate the audience while being effortlessly funny. It’s such a fun time, and you can see that everyone, from the judges to her fellow competitors, are obsessed with it. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

#1: Silky Nutmeg Ganache’s Solo Lip Sync All Stars 6
She had already won this round of the lip sync smackdown by default after A'keria C. Davenport chose not to return. But we’re very thankful Silky still wanted to serve us this extremely fabulous “Barbie Girl” performance. The originality of her concept, outfit, and makeup are simply unmatched. In fact, it’s one of the most gag-worthy reveals we’ve seen on the main stage. The way she lip syncs as two different characters and fully commits to the roles is both fresh and straight up spectacular. The showing is so hilarious and entertaining, it’s just plain fun and a true joy to watch. Silky is one queen who isn’t afraid to take things to the next level.
