With the first season airing in 2009, RuPaul's Drag Race has brought drag art and culture into mainstream entertainment and has become extremely popular. As a result, the show has inspired a number of people from younger generations to take up drag and go as far as becoming a successful queen on Drag Race.

In fact, some of these young queens have been stand-out contestants on the show, some even being crowned the winner of their season. Regardless of their position in the show, being on Drag Race has meant that they all have a bright career ahead of them.

Gigi Goode: 21 Years Old In Season 12

Currently, the youngest ever queen to compete on Drag Race is Gigi Goode. Aged 21 at the time of recording, Gigi was easily one of the standout contestants of season 12, excelling in runaway looks, acting, performing, and comedy. Her winning Snatch Game performance as Maria the Robot is one of the funniest and most unique in Drag Race to date.

Gigi made it all the way to the final, but it was Jaida Essence Hall that was crowned the season's winner. Yet with a whopping four maxi challenge win and never having to lip-sync for her life, it's little wonder Gigi has a bright future in drag.

Plastique Tiara: 21 Years Old In Season 11

Also aged 21 at the time of recording was season 11 queen, Plastique Tiara. Although she was eliminated in episode 9 (during the Snatch Game), Plastique made an impact during her time on the show, most notably for winning the "From Farm to Runway" challenge.

Whilst she is certainly a talented and likable queen, one notable reason why Plastique is well recognized is that she is the drag daughter of Drag Race legend, Alyssa Edwards. With such a beloved queen for a drag mother, Plastique is certainly in good hands to have a successful career in drag.

Aquaria: 21 Years Old In Season 10

Aquaria is, to date, the youngest ever winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, snatching season 10's crown aged just 21. An Instagram make-up star before entering Drag Race, Aquaria was a strong all-around competitor, as demonstrated by winning both the Ball Challenge and the Snatch Game of her season.

Like Plastique, Aquaria's drag mother is also a legend in Drag Race - Sharon Needles. In fact, as the winner of season 4, Sharon Needles and Aquaria are the first-ever drag mother and daughter duo to each win a season of Drag Race.

Gottmik: 23 Years Old In Season 13

A finalist from season 13, Gottmik is one of the most iconic Drag Race queens from Los Angeles. Aged 23 at the time of recording, Gottmik easily stood out from her competitors with her unique trademark makeup, high fashion looks, and hilarious acting skills.

Gottmik is not only one of the youngest ever Drag Race queens but she is also a milestone contestant. She is the first openly transgender competitor on Drag Race and opened up about her experiences to the judges, viewers, and her fellow queens.

Kandy Muse: 26 Years Old In Season 13

Kandy Muse is another finalist from season 13, aged 26 at the time of recording. With her bold personality and knack for comedy, yet sporting some very questionable runway looks, she might be one of the most divisive contestants to ever appear on the show, with fans either absolutely adoring her or unable to watch.

But there was one person Kandy easily won the heart of and that was Mama Ru herself. As a result, Kandy was spared from sashaying away when she lost her lip sync to Symone and made it through to the final two.

Symone: 25 Years Old In Season 13

The winner of season 13, Symone has already proven to be one of Drag Race's most popular queens. Aged 25 at the time of recording, she is a proud member of the House of Avalon and the drag sister of Gigi Goode.

Symone won the hearts of viewers with her impeccable runway looks, funny comedy acting, and a sympathetic vulnerable side to her that made audiences root for her to go all the way. One of her most standout moments on the show was a stunning and thought-provoking Black Lives Matter runway look that left the judges speechless. Although she didn't win the episode, RuPaul praised Symone for such a powerful look.

Utica Queen: 26 Years Old In Season 13

Aged 26 at the time of recording season 13, Utica Queen was a very memorable contestant on Drag Race. She was an extremely eccentric queen, with an unusual aesthetic and sense of humor, and fans either loved or loathed her.  

Utica sported some lovely runway looks, including one of the best Ball challenge outfits made from sleeping bags. However, her creepy impression of Bob Ross was one of the worst Snatch Game performances yet and she even got roasted during her terrible performance on the Roast challenge. She certainly will not be forgotten any time soon.

Olivia Lux: 26 Years Old In Season 13

Brooklyn queen Olivia Lux was well remembered for her gorgeous runway looks, sweet personality, and dazzling smile. She also proved that she could be a very funny queen when needed, as shown by her hilarious performance as a mime - leaving the judges and viewers in stitches without uttering a single word is a very impressive feat.

Winning two maxi challenges in a row, and showing a very strong performance, Olivia Lux showed a lot of promise at the start of season 13. Unfortunately, other queens grew stronger and stayed consistent, putting Olivia in fifth place. Regardless, Olivia proved herself to be a very talented queen and it is likely fans will see her again in Drag Race All Stars.

Aja: 22 Years Old In Season 9

The drag mother of Kandy Muse, Aja was aged 22 at the time of recording season 9 of Drag Race, making them the youngest queen of the season. Although they won no challenges and finished in ninth place, it didn't stop Aja from becoming a fan favorite.

As a result, Aja is not only one of the youngest queens to compete on Drag Race but the youngest queen to compete on Drag Race All Stars. Aja redeemed themselves during their time on All Stars 3, winning a maxi challenge and finishing in seventh.

Heidi N Closet: 24 Years Old In Season 12

With her sweet nature and natural charm, Heidi N Closet was easily a fan favorite of Drag Race's twelfth season. Whilst not the most polished or experienced queen, Heidi easily won over her fellow queens, the judges, and viewers alike. One notable moment was RuPaul trying to convince her to change her drag name, as she found Heidi N Closet to be a bit of a tongue twister.

Heidi is currently the youngest ever queen to date to hold the title of Miss Congeniality, being aged 24 at the time of recording. She holds that title with pride and came back for season 13 to be part of the Nice Girls Roast.
