Since its first season, RuPaul's Drag Race has made drag culture famous worldwide by giving queens from all walks of life a chance to show their talent. This year, RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars raised the stakes by bringing together famous contestants from global Drag Race franchises.
This created a competitive arena where the best performers could show off their skills on a global stage. Alyssa Edwards from the U.S., Kween Kong from Drag Race Down Under, Kitty Scott-Claus from the UK, and Nehellenia from Drag Race Italia were some of the favorites this season.
Alyssa Edwards, who has been a fan favorite since her season 5 debut and is a great dancer and performer, was unbeatable throughout the competition. With her trademark confidence and style, Alyssa stunned viewers worldwide and won the finale, earning a $200,000 prize, a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame, and the title of the first-ever Global All-Star.

Alyssa Edwards’ journey to the crown in RuPaul's Drag Race
From the beginning to the end of RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars, Alyssa Edwards showed a lot of confidence and a strong stage presence. She is a seasoned competitor who first won over fans' hearts in season 5 with her fiery personality, one-of-a-kind dance skills, and love of wearing bright clothes.
Alyssa later came back for All Stars 2, which cemented her reputation as one of the most memorable queens in the series. In the first episode, she won the talent show challenge with a polished and energetic dance routine that everyone could see.
In a confessional, Alyssa said,
"She's a winner, baby. She's a winner! This has been a long time coming."
In the RuPaul's Drag Race finale, Alyssa gave an emotional speech about how important it is to be represented. She talked about her own life and how, as a child in Texas, she never saw anyone on TV who looked like her. Her win in the final four-way lip-sync to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance made her the first Global All-Star of the franchise.
The finalists and the Miss Congeniality Award in RuPaul's Drag Race
Kween Kong, Kitty Scott-Claus, and Nehellenia were the other finalists. While Alyssa won the top prize, their performances were unforgettable and showed how diverse the Drag Race community is. Each queen brought her style, sense of humor, and personality to the stage, representing not only herself but also her country in celebrating drag unity worldwide in RuPaul's Drag Race.
While Alyssa was crowned queen, Soa de Muse from Drag Race France was given the Miss Global Peacemaker Award, which is the season's Miss Congeniality equivalent but for peacemakers.
The cast voted on this award, which came with a $10,000 prize and was given to Soa for her compassion, kindness, and helpful attitude throughout the season. With queens from all over the world competing for the title, Global All-Stars honored not only each queen's talent but also the strength and unity of the drag community as a whole.
All episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race are currently streaming on Paramount+.
