Airing in 2018, the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race could be considered a milestone. Firstly, it is the tenth season, marking nearly ten years after the series actually debuted, and it also highlights how much drag art and culture has soared in popularity over the past seasons, thanks to the show's increasing success.
This season is also a milestone as it currently marks the youngest ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, some newly popular iconic queens, a returning contestant from season 9, and one of the most memorable Drag Race exits to date. Here is what the fourteen queens of the tenth season have been doing since their time on the show.
Aquaria
Aquaria is currently the youngest ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, being crowned at just 21 at the time of recording. She proved herself to be a strong competitor, as shown by winning both the Snatch Game and the Ball Challenge.
Already with a large following on Instagram before the show, Aquaria continued to excel afterward. She has featured in music videos, web series, has launched her own makeup palette, and was the first drag queen to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala, along with season 7 winner Violet Chachki and Mama Ru herself.
Eureka O'Hara
After suffering an injury early in season 9 which forced her to forfeit the competition, Eureka O'Hara was invited to return for season 10. Eureka came back with a bang and made it all the way to the final for not only season 10, but also the sixth season of Drag Race All Stars.
Since appearing on Drag Race, Eureka continues to work as a drag queen and has released four singles. She is also an advocate for body positivity and makes an appearance in one episode of American Horror Story: Double Feature.
Kameron Michaels
Introverted Kameron Michaels was something of a dark horse in the competition. She did well for the first half of the show and became a lip-sync assassin in the second half, which secured her a place in the final.
Kameron is a regular queen on the "Werq the World" Drag Race tour, in which she has toured all over the world. She is currently part of the Drag Race Live! show in Las Vegas, and is on tour with Drive 'N Drag, a drive-in drag show designed to accommodate social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asia O'Hara
Semi-finalist Asia O'Hara proved herself to be a strong contestant throughout the tenth season of Drag Race. One of her most memorable moments was subverting the mermaid runway challenge with a fish monster mask, which is one of the best horror-inspired looks seen on Drag Race.
Since her time on Drag Race, Asia has been on a number of tours, including "Werq the World", has co-hosted the web series Can Do Queens along with Kameron Michaels, and in 2019, she produced her first one-woman show, "Asia O'Hara's Electrique Christmas."
Miz Cracker
New York comedy queen Miz Cracker proved herself to be a popular and successful contestant on Drag Race. She went on to win three maxi challenges on All Stars 5 and finished as runner-up along with beloved season 2 queen Jujubee.
Along with winner Aquaria, Miz Cracker was nominated for the People's Choice Award "Competition Contestant of 2018" and was the host of two web series. She also launched a podcast with Studio71 called "She's a Woman."
Monét X Change
Crowned Miss Congeniality of the season, Monét X Change went on to become one of the most popular queens in the Drag Race fandom, and soon was crowned joint winner of All Stars 4 alongside Trinity the Tuck.
Monét's career has done exceedingly well since Drag Race. Among the many projects she has completed, Monét is the co-host of two podcasts, one with Season 8 winner Bob the Drag Queen and another with drag legend Lady Bunny, has released three music singles and, according to A-Side, is one of the inspirations for Shade, Marvel's first drag queen superhero.
The Vixen
While a noteworthy competitor on season 10, the Vixen was perhaps most notorious for her heated exchanges between Aquaria and Eureka, the latter becoming one of the biggest beefs in Drag Race to date.
This hasn't deterred the Vixen's drag career. Before Drag Race, she was known for combining her drag with political activism and continues to do so. She performed with Drag Race alumni in the show Nubia, released her debut album "Commerical Break" in 2020 and like Monét, Vixen was an inspiration for the Marvel superhero Shade.
Monique Heart
Popular contestant Monique Heart finished eighth overall but she came on in leaps and bounds for the fourth season of All Stars, in which she was a runner-up.
Monique owns her own beauty company called MoBeauty and is due to both host her own web series, Manic Moments with Monique Heart, and Amazon Music's upcoming TV series The Walk-In, a series focused on iconic fashion moments of various celebrities.
Blair St. Clair
Blair St. Clair proved herself to be a lip-sync assassin during her time on Drag Race, surviving two consecutive lip-syncs before eventually being sent home by The Vixen.
Blair may have finished ninth, but that certainly didn't impact her career. As well as coming fourth on All Stars 5, Blair released her debut single "Now or Never" a day after her season 10 elimination, which is considered one of the best songs from a Drag Race queen. She has since released two albums and a salon, Hair by Blair.
Mayhem Miller
Along with Miz Cracker and Blair St. Clair, tenth place queen Mayhem Miller was another queen on season 10 to appear in the fifth season of All Stars. She didn't fare as well as her fellow season 10 queens and came seventh.
Regardless, Mayhem went on to do well after Drag Race. Mayhem was featured in the music video of Lizzo's "Juice", released her first single "Queen of the Party" in 2018, and launched her own lipsticks with cosmetics company Hank & Henry.
Dusty Ray Bottoms
Eleventh place queen Dusty Ray Bottoms was remembered on the show for her grunge-glamor aesthetics, her signature dots in her makeup that Michelle Visage was keen to point out, and being told to sashay away after one of the best one-sided lip-syncs on Drag Race against Monét X Change.
Dusty continues to perform drag shows and make appearances at Drag Con. She has also appeared in an episode of the podcast "Broadwaysted".
Yuhua Hamasaki
Although she finished in twelfth position, Yuhua Hamasaki showed promise while on Drag Race, placing high in the 'Drag on a Dime' runway challenge.
Since Drag Race, Yuhua released a single called "The Ankh Song" but really achieved post-Drag Race fame with her self-published web series Bootleg Fashion Photo RuView, in which she reviewed the runway looks for All Stars 4 and eventually season 11.
Kalorie Karbdashian Williams
The self-confessed wicked stepsister of the Kardashian family, Kalorie Karbdashian Williams' time on season 10 was both brief and unfortunate, being in the bottom two in both of her episodes.
Since appearing on Drag Race, Kalorie frequently posts a variety of make-up looks on Instagram, has her own YouTube channel, and still makes appearances at Drag Con. Outside of drag, Kalorie works as a hairstylist.
Vanessa 'Vanjie' Mateo
There is perhaps no first-eliminated queen more memorable than Vaness 'Miss Vanjie' Mateo. Her quotable exit left RuPaul in stitches and became such an internet phenomenon that she was invited back for season 11.
After her time on Drag Race, Miss Vanjie released her first single "I'm Vanjie" in 2018 and has made numerous appearances in web series. She is also one of the most followed Drag Race queens on Instagram with a whopping 1.5 million followers.
