Monét X Change and Trinity The Tuck were anointed the joint champions of All Stars Season 4 just two weeks ago… but it's already time to dive back into the glitz and glamour of Drag Race. And if the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 11 guest judges are any indication, that glitz and the glamour will be more extravagant than ever before. If you thought the producers had pulled out all the stops for the landmark tenth season — well, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Season 10 definitely brought the star power, recruiting such household names as Christina Aguilera, Audra McDonald, Billy Eichner, Lena Dunham, and more to oversee the proceedings. All Stars 4 upped the ante with celebs including TV's highest-paid lady Ellen Pompeo, newly-minted Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves, and Olympic heartthrob Gus Kenworthy. Not to be outdone, Drag Race has once again outdone itself as it enters its second decade on the air.

The list of guest judges who will be stopping by Season 11 includes hit singers, models, TV stars, comedians, and even a couple more Olympic athletes. Get pumped for the new season, premiering Feb. 28, by looking at which stars will be gracing the queens with their presence in the weeks ahead.
