Inside RuPaul’s Fabulous Beverly Hills Mansion | Open Door | Architectural Digest
Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by RuPaul to tour his dazzling Beverly Hills home. When the ‘Drag Race’ star and husband Georges LeBar acquired their home they enlisted esteemed AD100 designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard and architect Christopher Hatch McLean to help bring their 1980s palazzo to life. Together they transformed the property into an enchanting homage to Old Hollywood injecting the glamor of 1930s regency throughout. Bursting with color and pattern, RuPaul wanted the design of his home to evoke joy in those who step inside its doors – “The house is a touchstone to remind me to inspire people to feel the magic that’s seemingly so elusive these days,” RuPaul asserts. “It’s meant to be whimsical and fun. None of it is to be taken too seriously—except for love and kindness.”

So happy for RuPaul. I remember when we use to party at The Tunnel and The World nightclubs in NYC 😊
Lovely
beautiful place! I love love love it 😊😊
Gorgeous!!!
The captions are wrong in different places. Agate should be Agatha. Dual tones should be jewel tones.
You all need to do an entire hour video of just RuPaul’s closets.
Yes! I wish they would do this!
I’m totally jealous of his.closet! I share mine with hubby. I have such a small bedroom I’ve had to downsize my dreams
Yeahh plsss
Yes!
Literally a mall of tuxedos😂
This honestly has to be one of my favourite houses ever. It’s full of love, colour, and wonder. Not the usual boring beige house.
True that.
periodt.
I knew RuPaul years ago in Atlanta. His life is a testimony to the fact that the more love you put out into the world, the more love you get back. The house is almost as amazing as he is.
That’s a beautiful statement and sentiment.
Ru is such a natural speaker. I just love his tempo, story telling, and emphasis on words.
The whole house screams RuPaul, even the tradicional gets a touch of flare and glam. And, as usual, Mama Ru gifts us with words to live by.
Thank you AD and Mamma RU for this video. Its so important to post this now since there’s a fight against this beautiful artform. Drag queens are HUMAN BEINGS first.
Thank you.
The fight is against them performing for children…
*Wouldn’t be a Ru video without the bursts of laughter once a minute LOL*
Ee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! 😄
She laughed before even saying a word 😂
I was thinking the same😂
Grandmama is havin’ fun always all the time and I love it
I think that was my favorite part, infectious laugh!
This is what’s called living life to the fullest. I love how even their house is a show in itself.
Ru deserves ALL the happiness in the world. What a beautiful soul ❤.
