All Stars 6 has come to an end on Paramount+ after 12 weeks of fashion and fierce performances, and we now know who our seventh member of the Drag Race Hall of Fame is.
Ginger Minj, Eureka, Ra'Jah O'Hara and Kylie Sonique Love made it to the top four, where they had to sing and perform a verse of RuPaul and Tanya Tucker's new song "This Is Our Country."
Each of the four remaining queens were also interviewed by RuPaul and Michelle Visage, and of course had to deliver one last showstopping look on the runway before lip-syncing for their lives one final time.

What does the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 winner win?
This year's prize includes:
- A place in the Drag Race Hall of Fame alongside Chad Michaels, Alaska, Trixie Mattel, Monet X Change, Trinity the Tuck and Shea Coulee.
- A crown and scepter from Fierce Drag Jewels.
- A cash prize of $100,000.
- A year's supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics (this was mentioned at the start of All Stars 6, but was not mentioned when Ru did a prize run-down in the final.
...
One hundred thousand dollars had been the cash prize on Drag Race ever since Season 4 in 2012. In fact, technically the prize was more generous a decade ago, when queens won all of the above plus a vacation, a headline spot on the Drag Race tour, and a lifetime supply of NYX Cosmetics. However, queens get to keep any money they won along the way, which can significantly increase how much they take home in these later seasons.
That lifetime supply of make-up has been reduced in scale over the years. Winners of Seasons 5 and 6 won what was called "a sickening supply of ColorEvolution make-up," and every round of contestants from Season 7 onwards won a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Who won RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6?
...
After the final challenge and lip-sync, 38-year-old Kylie Sonique Love was named the seventh winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. Prior to being named the winner, she had won one main challenge and two mini-challenges. In comparison, both Ra'Jah and Ginger won two main challenges, while Eureka won one.
RuPaul did not reveal which of the remaining queens were in fourth, third and second place, meaning that they are all considered runners up.
Kylie's cash prizes from this season of Drag Race total $111,000—$100,000 for winning, $10,000 for winning the "RuMerican Horror Story" challenge lip-sync against Manila Luzon, and $1,000 for being named the most times in the Drag Race superlatives challenge in Episode 9.
With this win, she holds the distinction of being the All Stars winner who did the worst in their original season, where she came ninth.
Kylie also becomes the first trans woman to win the show the U.S. version of the show. In the wider franchise, however, she is the second transgender winner following Angele Anang, winner of Drag Race Thailand Season 2.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6 is streaming now on Paramount+.
