RuPaul, Jasmine Masters and Trixie Mattel Win Big at the WOWies

On Friday night, World of Wonder held their 2019 WOWie Award ceremony at the WOW Gallery in Hollywood.

The awards, which were streamed live on WOW Presents Plus, honored “the very best in entertainment, LGBTQ+ artistry, glamazonian realness, and thirst traps, including all the things that made us go WOW in 2019,” and not surprisingly, the Mama Ru and queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race were among the honorees.

Seen on the ceremony’s pink carpet, which was hosted by Monique Heart, was World of Wonder co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, Eureka O’Hara, Soju, Aisha Tyler and the always amazing Love Connie.
