Drag Race: All Stars (season 9) is the ninth season of Drag Race: All Stars.


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

The theme song playing during the runway every episode was "New Friends Silver, Old Friends Gold" and the song played during the credits was "Just What They Want", the latter of which is originally from RuPaul's album Mamaru.


The All-Stars rules from the fifth season continued this season with only one top queen being crowned the winner of the challenge. The winner of the challenge then competes against a secret "Lip-Sync Assassin" in the "Lip-Sync For Your Legacy". If the competing queen wins the lip-sync, then they will earn $10,000 and choose which one of the bottom queens gets eliminated. However, if the "Lip-Sync Assassin" wins, the group as a whole will select which 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 ninth season of Drag Race: All Stars was Temptress Chanelle, with Nikki Tina being the runner-up.
