“In a season full of giving, Angeria Paris VanMicheals won me over with her kindness, uniqueness, nerve and talent,” said eight-time Emmy® Award-winning host and executive producer, RuPaul. “Condragulations to all the queens for serving world-class entertainment while raising money and awareness for so many worthy causes.”

In the RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS season nine finale, Vice President Kamala Harris made a special guest appearance to kick off the episode, encouraging viewers to continue to fight back against attacks on the LGBTQ+ community’s rights and freedoms. The Vice President was joined by RuPaul’s Drag Race mainstay judge Michelle Visage, as well as Jamal Sims, Lance Bass, Leslie Jones and Cheyenne Jackson, to help spread the message of making your voice heard by registering to vote at vote.gov.

Kylie Sonique Love, winner of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS season six, surprised the queens in the werk room along with a virtual appearance by Jimbo, winner of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS season eight, to give the queens a pep talk before the “Grand Finale Slay It Forward Variety Extravaganza.”

On the mainstage, RuPaul was joined by Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews and celebrity guest judge Connie Britton, where Nina West was ru-vealed as the recipient of the “Double Diamond,” doubling her number of Beautiful Benefactress Badges. RuPaul also announced that each All-Star would receive an extra $5,000 for their respective charities. The top two All Stars of the week, Angeria Paris VanMicheals and Vanessa Vanjie, each earned three additional badges, which helped advance them to the final top three, along with Roxxxy Andrews.

For the final lip sync, the top three All Stars battled it out during a gagworthy performance of Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation.” In the end, RuPaul declared Angeria Paris VanMicheals the winner of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE ALL STARS season nine, and Kylie Sonique Love returned to present the prestigious crown and scepter.
