The looks are already giving, and the slate of guest judges– including the Keke Palmer— are gagging us in the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 9 trailer.
The first full trailer for the new season dropped on Wednesday for the first Drag Race season in which the queens are competing for charity. The new season premieres with two episodes on May 17, with Palmer and Stephanie Hsu as the guest judges for the those episodes.
