The grand finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 9 was a spectacular showdown of talent and determination. The eight queens brought their A-game with Variety Show solo performances and strategic approaches to the Double Diamond twist, all aiming for the ultimate prize: the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
In a climactic battle, the top three queens with the most Beautiful Benefactress Badges were revealed: Roxxxy Andrews, Vanessa Vanjie, and Angeria Paris VanMicheals. Each queen showcased their unique flair and skill, but it was Angeria who ultimately triumphed in the final lip sync to Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation.”
The official reaction video captured the raw emotions of the finalists. Angeria, visibly shocked and overwhelmed, was supported by Roxxxy and Vanjie as they watched the announcement together. Their camaraderie and mutual respect highlighted the sisterhood that Drag Race fosters, even amidst fierce competition.
Throughout the season, Angeria and Roxxxy emerged as frontrunners, with their friendly rivalry adding a dynamic twist to the show. Angeria’s victory not only earned her a place in the Drag Race Hall of Fame but also a $200,000 donation to the National Black Justice Coalition, bringing her total contributions to the organization to $231,500.
Angeria’s win is a testament to her talent, resilience, and the impact of representation on such a prestigious platform. All episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 9 are now available for streaming on Paramount+.
