Drag Race: All Stars (season 13) is the thirteenth season of Drag Race: All Stars.


This season featured thirteen All-Star contestants, selected from the show's second season through to its eighteenth season, who competed to be inducted into the "Drag Race Hall of Fame".


The theme for the runway every episode was "Bring Back My Girls" and the song played during the credits was "I'm a Winner, Baby", the latter of which is originally from RuPaul's album You're a Winner, Baby.


This season, the All-Stars rules implemented in the eleventh season continued with one top queen crowned the winner of the challenge and earning the Golden Girl statue. The Golden Girl statue is used to save one of the bottom three queens from elimination. The remaining bottom two queens then compete against each other in the "Lip-Sync For Your Life". This marks the third season in the All-Stars series to not feature a "Lip-Sync For Your Legacy". The prizes for the winner was a one-year supply of Cosmetics, a one-of-a-kind trip, and a cash prize of $200,000.


The winner of the thirteenth season of Drag Race: All Stars was Joy Illinois, with Olga Ivan Popova and Villaina being the runner-ups.
