Start your engines... it's time to meet the Queens of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 3! 

10 queens from across Aotearoa and Australia with the most charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent have been selected to compete for the glory, title, and bragging rights of being crowned the queen of Down Under!

Selected by Mama Ru herself, welcome aboard the sea-sickening queens sashaying onto the global stage:

Amyl, 27, @amyl.com.au
Born in Colombia but raised in Sydney, Amyl has been part of the drag scene since 2019. No stranger to fashion, Amyl cemented herself as a runway model walking in Australian Fashion Week in both 2021 and 2023 and has featured in magazine editorials in Australia. 

Ashley Madison, 25, @ashleyxmadison

Hailing from Australia’s epicentre of arts and entertainment, Ashley Madison has established herself as one of the most notable drag queens in Melbourne. Alongside her impressive resume as a drag queen, she’s also a DJ and owner of her own jewellery business for stage performers.

 

Bumpa Love, 51, Ngāi Te Rangi, Tūhoe, @bumpalove

Bumpa Love has been entertaining audiences in Australia and New Zealand for 25 years. Based in Melbourne, she runs Australia’s only drag queen-owned and produced venue, Vau d’vile Drag Cabaret, performing to sold-out houses all year round.

 

Flor, 25, @theofficialflor
A previous competitor on TVNZ’s House of Drag, Flor is a sultry Latin queen from Guatemala, taking her name from her mother. Her drag is inspired by strong Latina women, who are aware of their voices and staying true to who they are. 

 

Gabriella Labucci, 31, @gabriella_labucci

With a heart of gold and a unique sense of humour and style, Gabriella Labucci is a force to be reckoned with. Located in country Victoria (Ballarat), Gabriella does it all – singing, dancing, roller skating, hosting, and acting. She’s hoping it’ll be enough to impress RuPaul.

 

Hollywould Star, 34, @onlyhollywould

Born in America, Hollywould has called New South Wales home for the past nine years. A classically trained singer, she’s toured the world, performing in major stage productions like The Book of Mormon, Kinky Boots and 2023 Domain Dance Party Sydney World Pride with Kelly Rowland.

 

Isis Avis Loren, 33, @isisavisloren

Established nationwide for her presence and presentation as a performer. Isis is well known for her high fashion gowns, and gorgeous looks, all custom couture creations made by her and worn by many queens. She took out Best Costumier and Miss Congeniality at the Melbourne Drag Awards in 2019.

Ivanna Drink, 26, Taranaki, @ivannadrink

With ‘Hooker #2’ on her resume from Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop, Ivanna is ready to update her IMDB to include Ru’s girl. A recognisable face on Tāmaki Makaurau’s K Road, Ivanna is often found in Caluzzi Cabaret as the resident emcee and showgirl. One half of the ultimate drag power couple, she’s married to Anita Wigl’it from season one.

Ivory Glaze, 26, @ivoryglaze

Ivory Glaze brings beauty and glamour to the stage. With a love for fashion, her looks are always polished, while pushing boundaries. Ivory’s day-to-day bank job doesn’t hold her back from exploring all things drag or prevent her from bringing her exuberance to the drag scene!

Rita Menu, 24, Ngāpuhi, @ritamenuofficial

Hailing from Kirikiriroa, Rita’s been in the drag scene for only a year. Rita considers herself as being super competitive, she adds singer, dancer, and seamstress to her list of talents. Having already wowed audiences in the New Zealand drag scene with performances in local nightclubs, she’s also won Kita and Anita’s Drag Wars competition.
