RuPaul has opened up the doors of his vibrant Beverly Hills mansion. In a new feature for Architectural Digest, the legendary drag queen and media mogul displayed his massive Hollywood Regency-inspired estate. Dressed in a pair of satin Vetements pajamas, RuPaul showed off his glamorous abode, which includes two walk-in closets: one for menswear, and one for his drag persona. Working with acclaimed designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, RuPaul had two bedrooms converted into his grand wardrobe. RuPaul’s menswear closet features racks upon racks of striking suits, which he’s known to favor out of drag.

Christian Louboutins in every shade line the walls, while glass cabinets show off his elaborate collection of statement jewelry. Also on display are elaborate dresses and gowns designed by Zaldy, RuPaul’s longtime
