We’re featuring ten absolutely breathtaking photos from PAPER magazine’s coverage of RuPaul’s DragCon 2017. They were taken by the incomparable Albert Sanchez, a longtime friend of WOW, and really, it doesn’t get more sumptuous, more dazzling, more jaw-dropping than this. Gag on the eleganza here, then head over to PAPER to see the other 43 images (including all the Season 9 girls!).

This fall, the east coast will get it’s own Dragcon, in New York September 30-October 1. Tickets go on sale on this Friday, May 12.

Above and below: Detox, Violet Chachki, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Gia Gunn, Alaska, MILK, Acid Betty, Alyssa Edwards, Katya, and BOB the Drag Queen.
