Review: Mami Watta Shines Bright in a Stellar Season of Drag Race France All Stars

From the moment the queens entered the werkroom in Drag Race France All Stars, it was clear this season would be a showcase of polished talent, second chances, and drag evolution at its finest. With returning favorites, fresh rivalries, and high-stakes lip-syncs, the season has offered a thrilling mix of spectacle and substance. But no queen has captured the heart of this reviewer more than Mami Watta, who has emerged as the radiant, complex, and deserving frontrunner of the competition.

Mami Watta, a fan-favorite from Season 2, returned to the All Stars stage with something to prove-and from the first episode, it was clear she wasn't here to play. While her initial run left many wanting more from her in terms of consistency, what she's brought this time around is a powerful blend of confidence, artistry, and a deeply rooted cultural identity that's felt in every step she takes.

The premiere's Talent Show set the tone for her All Stars campaign. While other queens delivered flashy numbers, Mami opted for a comedic lip-sync with a sharp edge, followed by a triumphant win in the lip-sync to "I'm Good (Blue)," where her command of the stage was undeniable. It wasn't just about tricks or flips-it was about presence. Her poise, wit, and unapologetic delivery stood out as much as her outfit choices, which remain a stunning homage to both Afro-futurism and French fashion flair.

What makes Mami Watta's journey especially compelling is how she combines fierce drag aesthetics with vulnerability and intention. She's not afraid to be political, funny, or tender-and often within the same performance. Her confessional moments are refreshingly honest, filled with charm and sincerity that recall the best of reality TV without feeling performative. It's no wonder fans have rallied behind her with fervor, flooding social media with calls to "Crown Mami Watta or we riot."

While competition from other queens like Elips, Piche, and Misty Phoenix is stiff, none seem to consistently balance fashion, emotion, and performance the way Mami does. Her runways have evolved from the more subdued choices of her original season into bold, sculptural statements. From afro-centric haute couture to dramatic silhouettes that evoke myth and modernity, her visual storytelling feels both intentional and fresh.

There's also a strategic intelligence to her game this season. She knows when to hold back and when to strike. Her lip-syncs feel calculated-not in a cold way, but in a way that respects the stage as sacred. Every movement is earned. Every reveal makes sense. She doesn't throw everything out at once-she builds a narrative, and the audience is along for the ride.

Technically, the show continues to shine with strong production design, inventive challenges, and just the right balance of camp and sincerity. But the emotional core this season is undeniably shaped by Mami Watta's arc. Her presence elevates the show beyond just competition-it becomes a story of growth, visibility, and self-love.

In a season packed with talent, Mami Watta stands out not because she's the loudest or flashiest-but because she's the most complete. She's a queen with something to say, a look to serve, and a legacy to build. If this season is about redemption and excellence, then Mami Watta isn't just a contender-she's the story.

Final Verdict: 9.5/10 A compelling, emotional, and electric season of Drag Race France All Stars, made unforgettable by the brilliance of Mami Watta. If there's any justice in the dragverse, the crown belongs to her.
