RuPaul, the Emmy-winning iconic host of RuPaul's Drag Race, recently offered fans a glimpse into his lavish Beverly Hills mansion, which he shares with his husband Georges LeBar.
The home, showcased in Architectural Digest's Open Home series on May 16, is a testament to the glamour that surrounds the star both on the Drag Race stage and in his personal life.

The stunning residence boasts various rooms curated to specific themes, including a fabulous disco room. "We love music and we love to dance," RuPaul said, displaying the 26 disco balls suspended from the ceiling.
"When I was coming up, there was always a place that said cocktails, dancing. That doesn't happen anymore, so we decided we needed a disco in our house, and this is it."
The groovy atmosphere extends beyond the disco room, with a "Hollywood Regency Dorothy Draper-inspired fireplace" and walls adorned with iconic faces from disco history, such as Billie Holiday, Grace Jones, and Diana Ross. RuPaul remarked: "They are all beautiful and inspire us to dance and move around."
Known for his legendary ensembles, RuPaul's closet space is nothing short of spectacular.

The mansion features a vast walk-in closet and a separate area dedicated to his drag costumes. "We took two bedrooms and turned them into my closet, and I've got everything in here," he said, as the camera panned over his vibrant wardrobe.
"It's kind of like a historical artifact. Every shopping trip I've ever gone on—even Lil Jon's—are documented right here in this very room."

"The house is a touchstone to remind me to inspire people to feel the magic that's seemingly so elusive these days," he explained. "It's meant to be whimsical and fun. None of it is to be taken too seriously."

Despite the grandeur of the mansion, RuPaul prefers intimate gatherings over extravagant soirées.

The home also houses an at-home production office with black and white walls, photos, and a pop of color from green seating. The property boasts a classic bar, a pool with black and white striped chaises, and an outdoor black and white dining area.
