On the red carpet, the queens took time to speak on recent anti-drag and anti-trans legislation in states around the U.S.
On April 14, two hours before one of their names would forever be associated with the word “winner," Anetra, Luxx Noir London, Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Sasha Colby, also known as the final four contestants of Season 15 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race," walked the red carpet in the Hard Rock Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the location of the season finale viewing party.
“I knew before I went on ‘Drag Race’ that I was a star,” she told TODAY with a smile. “Hearing that from the queen of drag means everything but she’s just confirming what we all knew.” A"Drag Race" super fan, Luxx has garnered a reputation throughout the season as someone always ready with a reference to former seasons or to RuPaul’s career outside the show. She made the host well up with tears after choosing to wear a recreation of an early RuPaul outfit.
The 37-year-old Hawaii native has been an icon within the drag community for over a decade, winning the highly coveted “Miss Continental” drag pageant in 2012 and inspiring legions of queens in Los Angeles, where she currently lives, and around the world. Her legacy is already strong: One of her drag daughters, Kerri Colby, competed on the previous season of “Drag Race."
“I know from the track record of 14 seasons already and so many franchises, and seeing so many girls who haven’t won be so successful, gives me hope that I can make any of my dreams true if I really work hard.”
