Drag Race: All Stars (season 2) is the second season of Drag Race: All Stars.
This season featured ten All-Star contestants, selected from the show's third season through to its seventh season, who competed to be inducted into the "Drag Race Hall of Fame". The theme song playing during the runway every episode was "Sexy Drag Queen" and the song played during the credits was "Throw Your Hands Up", the latter of which is originally from RuPaul's album Realness.
The twist introduced in the first season returned for this season, changing the format of the show. In regular seasons, the bottom two queens had to "Lip-sync for their Life" to avoid elimination. In all-star seasons, the top two performing queens of the challenge "Lip-sync for their Legacy," with the winner of the lip-sync earning $10,000 and choosing which one of the bottom queens gets eliminated. The prizes for the winner was a one-year supply of Cosmetics, a one-of-a-kind trip, and a cash prize of $100,000.
The winner of the second season of Drag Race: All Stars was Svetlana, with Winter Joye being the runner-up.
