Watch Keke Palmer lose her mind over “RuPaul's Drag Race” glow-ups in epic “All Stars 9” trailer

Anitta, Connie Britton, Stephanie Hsu, and more will guest-judge "All Stars 9" this year.

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 has dressed its roster of guest judges to the nines for the show's official congenial (and charitable) era.

Joining the cast for a season filled with runway RuDemptions (peep an even more yassified version of season 11 star Plastique Tiara's All That Glitters runway in the clip below) and a $200,000 prize for the charity of the returning queens' choice are buzzy guest judges from A-list actors to international musicians.

Throughout the no-elimination season, the likes of Alec Mapa, Anitta, Brothers Osborne, Colton Haynes, Connie Britton, Jeremy Scott, Keke Palmer, Kristine W, Ruta Lee, and Stephanie Hsu will sit next to RuPaul at the judging panel, alongside permanent judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, and Ts Madison.

"Icons, legends, all in the same room," contestant Angeria Paris VanMicheals (season 14) says in the preview footage, which also shows Palmer telling a queen, "I live for you, honey!" while throwing her head back.

Later, Hsu, who scored a 2023 Oscar nomination for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, said "I feel changed" after witnessing something spectacular on the runway.

Shots also flash of the cast performing girl group numbers, musical challenges, and even an acting challenge that (again) includes slapping RuPaul across the face.

"I'm going for blood," season 5 and All Stars 2 icon Roxxxy Andrews — who also hits the Main Stage in a Who Framed Roger Rabbit?-inspired look — says, while Angeria later cautions her fellow queens: "I'm only cutting you off if I see you as competition!"

Also along for the ride are returning competitors Gottmik (season 13), Jorgeous (season 14), Nina West (season 11), Shannel (season 1, All Stars 1), and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo (season 10, season 11).

In Entertainment Weekly's exclusive interviews with the cast, the group teased light drama, but Shannel confirmed that this could be the first-ever edition of "RuPaul's Best Friends Race" in franchise her-story.

"I feel like I should’ve won one or two [challenges]. That’s why I came back; I need to win some," Vanjie explains, eventually referencing her playful on-set romance with season 11's Brooke Lynn Hytes. "The first time, I was trying to be all cute and find some dick and, you know, have fun. This time, I said I’m not going to get no dick. I’ll get the dick later."

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 premieres May 17 on Paramount+. Watch the new trailer above, and check out Entertainment Weekly's exclusive cast interviews.
