RuPaul, Philosopher Queen
Do we really know RuPaul? That’s a question Richard Lawson asks early in his new cover story about the drag superstar, Emmy-winning creator of RuPaul’s Drag Raceand cultural icon for many decades now, an extremely famous person who “has seemingly been everywhere over the last 30 years, and yet there’s still something sphinx-like and enigmatic about him,” writes Lawson. “In a way, he projects everything and nothing at once, a majestic magic trick shrouding a formidable, but also vulnerable, human being.” Photographed by Annie Leibovitz for the cover of Vanity Fair’s holiday issue, RuPaul looks back at how decades of his hard work has helped bring drag culture to the mainstream—but also why he thinks “true drag really will never be mainstream.” As RuPaul puts it, “True drag has to do with seeing that this world is an illusion, and that everything that you say you are and everything it says that you are on your driver’s license, it’s all an illusion. Most people will never in their lives understand what that is. Because they don’t have the operating system to understand that duality.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Yohana Desta looks into the confusing developments behind the scenes of Star Trek,where Fargo creator Noah Hawley has recently been tapped to direct a new film, but not the one Quentin Tarantino is working on; Laura Bradley finds Robert Pattinson somehow digging up even wilder tales from behind the scenes of The Lighthouse, and she also digs into the appeal of Apple TV+’s Dickinson, the streamer’s most unlikely—and quite possibly biggest—hit. And over in Vanities, Erin Vanderhoof digs into this year’s Grammy nominations, which brought good news for Billie Eilish, less so for Taylor Swift.
