RuPaul Just Revealed Exactly What The Inside Of His Beverly Hills Mansion Looks Like, And It Has To Be Seen To Be Believed
Rejoice! The interior design gods (read: the Architectural Digest team) have blessed us with another insider look at another truly dazzling celebrity home. This time, it’s drag legend and Drag Race host RuPaul’s absolutely massive Beverly Hills mansion, and everything about it is over the top.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beThese are the “see it to believe it” details that have been living in my head rent-free ever since I first stumbled upon the walkthrough:
1. First and foremost, there’s a disco ROOM. Yes, an entire room dedicated to disco, boasting a whopping 26 disco balls hanging from the towering ceiling.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beAnd I’m clearly not alone in my shock and awe over this particular space.

2. The best part, IMO, is that the walls are absolutely covered with portraits of his favorite disco artists, from Diana Ross to Donna Summer.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be3. Actually, I lied. That was the second-best part. The best part is that his table has wheels so they can effortlessly slide it to the side when it’s time to dance.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be4. In the kitchen — and all over the house, quite frankly — bold pops of color steal the show. Accents are almost always orange, which RuPaul explains in a way that genuinely made me tear up.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be“When I was 34, I realized that orange was my favorite color because of the way it makes me feel,” he says to the camera. “So I implore all of you out there watching to find what your favorite color is, based on how you feel, and live in it.” Mr. Rogers for 2023, folks. ?
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be(BRB, painting my apartment floor-to-ceiling green, I guess!)
5. Back in the kitchen, there are several details that I just can’t get over. The book-matched marble, for one. It’s popping up in basically every celeb home these days, and I can see why.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be6. The custom orange La Cornue range with “you better werk” engraved on the logo?! Gobsmacked.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beSimilar models online retail for more than $20,000, so for custom, I can’t even fathom the money he dropped on this bad boy.
7. He also calls out the black and white finishes on the cabinets and floors, because it — say it with me — makes him happy. “And if you can’t be happy in your own home,” he says, “how the hell you gonna be happy anywhere else?” (I smell a season of RuPaul’s Interior Design Race coming.)
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be8. His breakfast nook is goals, complete with a gold statement pendant light, nature-inspired wallpaper, and some seriously captivating orange chairs from famed ’30s designer Frances Elkins.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be9. RuPaul’s “dining pavilion,” as he calls it, is even more impressive. The whole thing was inspired by the Elizabeth Taylor film Boom, and it features stripes for days.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beMore black and white! ?
“We live in Hollywood…so we’re not afraid of color, and texture, and bold statements,” he adds. He also openly admits that his style and design preferences probably aren’t for everyone, but he does as he wishes anyway.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be10. Next, behold: Ru’s walk-in closet. Well, his men’s closet, as he refers to it. As a devoted Drag Race viewer, I’ve always wondered how any one person could own so many Klein Epstein & Parker suits. Now I know.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beThis one closet is built from two entire bedrooms…and remember, these are mansion-sized bedrooms, so this closet is absolutely massive. Even the countertop that functions as the centerpiece of the room is HUGE.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be11. The “back garden” was built to have space for lots of people and big parties, and clearly that vision became a reality.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be12. Ru even reveals that they’ve put a “slab” over the jacuzzi to have literal shows in their outdoor entertaining area.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beIDK about you, but my new life’s dream is to get invited to a RuPaul slab-over-his-jacuzzi performance.
13. In their backyard, there’s a pathway that takes you up a set of stairs to an ornate structure perched over the hilltop.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beI mean, it’s basically a human birdhouse…but Ru can get away with it.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beHe describes his outdoor entertaining space as “very Pompeii” and “decadent,” and honestly, he’s spot on.
14. Even his “main” office space, which he describes as the heart of his entire operation, is decadent. Case in point: There’s a bar.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be15. The living room packs in every element that makes RuPaul happy: light, tall ceilings, unexpected patterns and textures, and a smattering of jewel-toned pieces and accents throughout.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be“There’s so much of the modern stuff around LA,” Ru says. “That’s why we wanted to go for more of the classics, and that’s why this room is so lovely and so beautiful.”
16. And then, there’s the room that made me audibly gasp at my computer screen: His drag closet. Actually, he doesn’t even refer to it as a closet — they’re “drag archives.”
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.be17. It’s attached to his glam room, where he gets into (and out of) drag for filming, shoots, and public appearances.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beI can’t even imagine how immaculate the lighting in this room must be.
“You come down here and you want to make yourself beautiful,” he says. After pretty much declaring every stop on the tour as his “favorite room,” he admits that this space is his #1 pick. And I totally get it.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beRuPaul’s pioneering style is certainly one-of-a-kind — and when you think about it, the design of his home is pretty closely intertwined with his drag identity.
Architectural Digest / Via youtu.beAnyway, RuPaul’s mansion is what dreams are made of. You can watch the entire tour over on Architectural Digest’s YouTube channel — there’s a LOT more to pe into.
