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.
Not many realize Rupaul was once homeless and walking the streets of New York just trying to make it. He had a very rough life in the beginning. Look at him now! What an inspiration!
lmao .... take the finger out fool
The dramatics lmao
Yes this is true. There are some videos on CZcams documenting his early years. I am happy for RuPaul.
Wow! I didn't know that. I'm so happy for him 😊
@Carminha Sant'AngeloI'm going to look it up. So happy for him 😊
I love hearing him talk he’s so passionate. I’m glad he says “OUR” including his husband. “Our” kitchen “our” disco room. Many Celebes say MINE. I’m glad he shares his space with his husband as you should.
4:27 not trying to be all spiritual and witchcrafty but I bet his aura is orange.
Me too - it’s so sweet ❤
RuPaul THE LIVING LEGENDARY ICON of our times and Dim Sum. I love Yvie, willamnoi, and Pearl but they do not understand true GENIUS. Jonathan Swift said it best, "When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him."
Came to say the same thing
OUR Fracking❤
Honestly this is the first house I’ve seen where it all makes sense and Im just enjoying it. My brain literally feels soothed
I can listen to Rupaul literally read the telephone book. He's the best.
He is one of a kind, just spectacular!!!! Bravo he is as real as the come, not a fake🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Watch iohn legend s house
I love the very open concept of the house. It's made to be experienced, not just lived in. It's definitely made for people who love company and hosting.
WOW this a house, it actually shows personality of the owner, it has so many layer, complexity and originality it absolutely stunning!
I don't know a lot about RuPaul but he sounds like a very well-balanced individual with great energy. He sounds like he appreciates everything life has given him and that is a rarity. The house is absolutely stunning.
You can tell Ru is very appreciative of what he has and that he uses what he has to make the most for him not for display of wealth to others
I've gotta say this is the most beautifully furnished manshion I've ever seen
I love how he is not afraid to mix different patterns together! Such unique and fun decor!
That makes me so happy to see someone make it!! What a joy it is to witness that house knowing how hard he worked to get his career going and see him to light up inside. If that doesn’t make you smile nothing will.
He has such class. I'm so happy for him and his husband. Beautiful couple.
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 is just agh… I don’t know how to describe the feeling of RuPaul allowing us to see his house… soooo well done AD🫶🏼
id give anything to attend a rupaul daytime disco 🪩
Gurl ain't nobody going up to that house👮🚔 🧱🚧🧱🚔👮
@Ilya K BWHAHAHA
PERIODT
Gurrrl sashay all day
Well……. “YOU BETTA WEEEERK!”
It's amazing to hear RuPaul speak about the color orange like I have practically my entire life. I always felt as if I was the only one that felt that way about a color as strongly as he seems to. Orange is also my favorite color of all-time. Ever since I was a child.
Hands down one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, and lively homes I’ve ever seen .
it's such a joy to see someone who literally grew up in the protects not just fulfill their dreams but to do so purely on their own terms, powered by their unique and specific talent. I adore RuPaul. Oh, and the house is quite nice too!
Ru is a living legend, an icon. Someone who transcended barriers and will always be in the Olympus of glamorous stars.
Ru is such a natural speaker. I just love his tempo, story telling, and emphasis on words.
Same here, I am going to incorporate nosh. I'm going to say things like no I'm not that hungry, I'm just going to nosh.
The inexplicable laughing
@sam west at your mom having you?? yeah i’m inexplicably laughing at that
@ghoulonfrightube wow, why so mean?
I need every book ever written narrated by RuPaul
Rupaul is a bright light in a dark world at times!! Especially Hollywood world❤
I doubt it
I absolutely love this house. Bright, colorful and beautiful. Well done. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I hope he does a real museum some day where the public can view and enjoy the art of drag.
Rupaul has earned this lovely life. All the joy and art he brings to the world are priceless!
This was so inspiring. So tastefully done and it was great heard RuPaul talking about each thing in such a special manner
Como pode ser tão carismática? Falar tão bem e ter tanto conteúdo, autenticidade e convicção... E ainda fazer questão de inspirar o melhor das pessoas num simples passeio pela sua casa... Não surpreende ser a maior drag da história.
Vc è nossa RuPaul, Lore!!!
Minhas favoritas, mama Ru e Lore ❤
Such an amazing person. Can hear him talk for hours. There is excitement but certain calmness and serenity in his talks. He would be a great friend.
Can't get enough of this episode ! Best one ever 💛
Such a beautiful house, playful and fun, beautifully designed and decorated
listening to him is so inspirational ,he seems calm humbled,appreciative and also has great wisdom ❤️
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this but I ended up loving it!
Stunning house.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh, wow! Just watching this video was an experience in itself. RuPaul has charisma, no doubt. And uniqueness etc etc. The house is a reflexion of that! Such fun, so sunny and colorful. I live! And I am now obsessed with the idea of a DAYTIME disco!...
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.
Sad beige house for sad beige celebrities 😞
Kim K call out 😂
you wont enjoy cleaning it tho
I liveeeeeeeeee!! For the coordination, the textures, the fun of it all, the stories and that he remembers, the intentionality, the personality…I love love love it here I took notes lol
I had no idea what I was expecting this house to look like but this fits the bill it is fabulous just like RuPaul timeless and wonderful.
What a classy celebration of Over The Top!! This has to be my favorite AD tour. RuPaul is so happy and upbeat. What a gorgeous, fabulous palace. Bravo RuPaul!!
I love EVERY square inch of this place. It's just gorgeous. I think I'd probably cry if I saw it in person.
The furniture is gorgeous!!! The kitchen is gorgeous!!! The pool area is gorgeous!!! And thank u for letting us peek in ur closet that was fun!!!
It really is a mirror of her drag aesthetic: Bold, impeccable, classic, fun and with a clear point of view.
meh, kind of disappointing and basic.
@yourmothersaiduugly did you want them to have a pink glitter mansion with big barbies stuck to the wall???
Classic is not a word I'd use. I'd use glam, definitely. But leaning on tacky tbh
@Miss Freakk actually, if anything, it’s not tacky enough.
@Derek Morrison *His*
I just love Ru. I love that he knows who he is. He's so wise and lives in his truth. ❤
this is just breathtaking. i love listening to him. such an inspiration. whoever hasn’t watch him and oprah’s interview please do yourself a favor and go watch it.
omg i am tonight now thank u
Ru....you MADE my day. I am crying! Crying with joy in my heart! I love you and thank you for being you!
I absolutely LOVE this guy. I think he's wonderfully beautiful inside and out. His laugh makes me smile. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a gorgeous house created by such a beautiful, positive person!
I enjoy listening to Rupal speak. He always sounds happy and grateful for the world around him. When you see other celebrities doing tours of their homes they seem to be showing off. Rupal still seems to be in awe of it all. Still appreciative and kind.
except his shirt:)
Yes Yes Yes I've been trying to put this into words for years I'm so glad you stated it perfectly!!!! Thanx!!!!
This!
"seems" is the key world.
Can't believe how many people worship celebrities ' narcisism
No he’s greedy and out of touch and fake 😅
Rupaul for me is our Diva and he deserves everything he has because he has struggled to get to where he is now and that he is always this funny and his laugh is so contagious giving joy wherever he goes. The house is fabulous like him.
He's so calm and at peace. His laugh is everything!! . id give anything to attend a rupaul daytime disco .
RuPaul was so generous to show all his favorite rooms in the house. I loved this video!
Это ОХРЕНИТЕЛЬНО прекрасный Дом! Это офигительно обворожительный человек!
Красивее дома я не видела! Мое уважение и любовь!
Всем МИРА!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*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!
I’m just gobsmacked! Everything just makes so much sense; stylistically, colour-wise and functionality. It’s like a mental waterfall soothing you with colour and texture! I feel so connected to Ru’s explanation of his design and inspiration. Well done again Rupaul! 🫡
Hollywood Glam in all its glory. So fun, so stunning, and he’s absolutely lovely ❤️
It’s nice to hear someone express how happy they are and see it throughout the house.
You deserve all the great things in life Rupaul❣️
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.
💖
This made me so warm and happy!🥰💕
@deemarlin4485 he also lived in atlanta i’m pretty sure lmao…
Fracking also made him a buttload of money lol
This must be the most beautiful house/interior I've ever seen, I love everything about it, absolutely spectacular!! You and your husband George have a fabulous taste, Ru! 🧡🧡🧡
I remember watching a video of him, very young boy, beautiful energy, passionate, and then this. He have been working really hard for all that, he deserve it. Such an inspiration for me.
I absolutely love this house. And part of why I love it so much is that he loves it so much and it brings him so much joy. Perfection!!!
The colours, the design... I love everything about this ❤
I loved the extravagance and splendor. It was very tastefully done. ❤
This honestly has to be one of my favourite houses ever.
Nice
What a bad taste you have, I respect your opinion 😇
Same
🤣🤣🤣
👍
This house is gorgeous & full of personality 🥰
Only Ru can cover an office space in leopard print & make it elegant 😂
He is absolutely wonderful! Love all his pops of colors! Chairs at the kitchen island/bar! He’s just adorable!! Love love love him! Hugs and blessings always, Ru!! 🧡🧡🧡😊
Ru always has the sweetest and loveliest messages in everything he says, does and lives! Sigh, my hero♥️
This has to be one of the most well decorated homes I've ever seen. It's so well thought out. It's gorgeous.
And so unique, I love that, he's not like others who have to have something because everyone in L.A has it, everything in his house works well together.
Don't be silly
I guess you didn't see Rod Stewarts house.
@The Front Porch Tbh, I haven't, I will look at it if I can find it.
Fr
Love it! Love the gorgeous color coded closet! ❤❤❤
My favorite room is the Disco Room. Like Ru said disco clubs don't happen anymore & you don't really see disco balls as much in places, so seeing an entire room deadicated to that is just breath taking and the disco balls are meslzmerising.
What absolute joy and light! The house AND RuPaul. I bookmarked this vid for when I need a color-filled pick-me-up.
I could just listen to RuPaul talk about life for hours. He always has such a beautiful outlook and perspective.
his house is truly gorgeous. just a blast of color, energy and refreshment.
This house is so outrageous yet so welcoming and warm.
I just love this place and I love, love and more love RuPaul Thanks for a great tour.
But I LOVE RuPaul even more. I’ve been watching you for years and I love how you inspire so many people.
He shares many of the same tastes with myself. I love the pairing of classic / retro to modern. ❤
He also has excellent advice.
I love how every room is a different theme. It's beautiful
They are All the same .... black ...White ... orange...... just my opinion.....
WOW!!! So Much Character!! Usually I'm not a fan of too much black and white pattern! Or different patterns in the same room! I literally get nauseous and feel anxiety? But this house I absolutely LOVE!!❤ The beautiful colors he added tones it down perfectly! The Orange is beautiful! The two cyan accent chests with orange vases look wonderful!! The orange dining chairs and the flowerd ones!! Love the disco room!! Everything is unique in a beautiful way!!👏👏
Absolutely beautiful! I'm happy for you and your husband.
Ru is truly so inspiring.
I love how he is in peace with himself , I don’t think he is faking it , it’s real self acceptance at it’s best ❤
His laugh is one of the most fun sounds I've ever heard. And I love all the disco balls, too, as I have a full-size disco ball hanging in my living room. The neighbors thought I'd lost my mind. Nope.
lmao .... take the finger out fool
@atlas garland Question it seems as if you don't like Ru Paul ???? You have put this same comment under several posts people have made, If you don't like RuPaul just say that. There's no need to attack and be rude to other people ❤
@Lameka Jones 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a huge reflection of his life, you can see how much joy he has 💞 I want to be able to look back on my life and say I lived!
EU ameiii a decoração por completo! normalmente é pouco do que eu gosto nas casas, mas essa... realmente amei tudo nela.
Beautifully different. So creative. I love it and him.
Enjoyed this episode and love Ru Paul’s house. Looks like a real fun place to live.
Obsessed!!! So much great color and design. And I love his message- surround yourself with what you love and what makes you happy!
05:17 "If you're gonna be on this planet, why not be happy? Why not live in a place that makes you happy."
Words to live by.
P.S. Also yes, having billions of "dollahs"-- as he calls it --certainly helps with the happiness.
For me it's 02:08
well, for one, money...
@Shell Erba Exactly what I was going to say. He's got money...and a lot of it.
Late stage capitalism RU, that's why, late stage capitalism...
Nice if you had the 30 million that you would need to make that a reality.
Probably my favorite house tour so far. I love the classic style. Just beautiful!
Literally one of the most gorgeous homes I’ve ever seen.
This tour did not disappoint. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He really is a BEAUTIFUL person! Inside and out!!! So is his mansoin!❤❤❤
Probably one of the most beautiful “houses” I ve ever seen’ he has an amazing sense of style!! 🙌
"If you're gonna live on this planet, why not be happy." - so beautiful
ok
ok
Easy to say for him lol
@alice He used to be extremely poor so
Yeah when you have enough money
What a wonderful, personal and inetresting house and decor and what a delightful person. Thanks for letting us join.
I love Rupaul, love his gentle yet to the point , help, wisdom etc. My dream would be to be able to spend an afternoon with him!! I wish they still dud Drag u where they put everyday people in drag!! Love you and your light Rupaul!! Amazinf❤❤❤
I absolutely love every second of this house!! Gorgeous ❤
Oh, and props to the beautiful floral fabric on the backs of the bar stools in the kitchen 🙂!
***Viewing this was a great, colorful
and enjoyable way to start my
morning 🌅!
Freaking love❤ how down to earth 🌎 Ru is...👏👏👏.
This is one of those homes that manages to achieve the impossible. Ridiculously overdone but absolutely works and “overdone” with impeccable taste. Bravo!
It’s fracking beautiful
@Matthew Oof! I knew someone had to say it. 👀
I don't think it's overdone. The house is RuPaul personified and is warm and beautiful, just like him.
Wow! I've never seen color done in such a classy, timeless, and universally appealing way. I'm in awe 😍
This was so satisfying to watch ❤ I LOVED every minute of this tour Ru.
We love you RuPaul. Stay strong. Stay true to you. 🙏🏾
Less than 2 minutes in and this is already my favorite house.
This house has so much character and feels very much alive!!
