Herstory was made Friday night when the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 15 winner was announced. The winning queen received a cash prize of $200,000 — a franchise record.
The top 4 heading into the finale were: Anetra, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Sasha Colby. This is the first time since Season 8 that the semifinalists are all queens of color: Anetra is Filipino, Puerto Rican, Japanese and German; Luxx is Black, Mistress is Mexican American, and Sasha Colby is Hawaiian.
The Season 15 finale was taped earlier this month at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.
