RuPaul’s Drag Race fans have been given a glimpse of how the werk room on the upcoming
UK series will compare to the original.
And while you might have expected a big
British overhaul of the studio, a new
trailer has revealed bosses have decided to keep things familiar by mirroring the US version. The werk room, which is where much of the drama happens as the queens make their outfits to be worn on the runway, bares the trademark hot pink look we’ve come to know and love.
As well of pictures of RuPaul adorning the walls, there’s make-up stations and a sofa area for the queens to sit and gossip. Mama Ru has made a trip across the pond in search for a
Queen with the most charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent in all the land. Here is your very FIRST look at the werk room. #DragRaceUKpic.twitter.com/3K9SJIhllN— RuPaul's Drag Race UK (@dragraceukbbc) August 20, 2019In the trailer, Ru can also be heard saying: “People of the
United Kingdom, your Queen has arrived. It’s time to show off the finest charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent in all the land.
“So, God Save The Queens, because they are going to need all the help they can get.”
The release of the trailer follows a smaller preview of the series earlier this week, showing a silhouette of Ru on the runaway. Listen up queens, here is your first ever glimpse of Mama Ru on #DragRaceUK. Also, keep an eye out for EXCITING Drag Race news from across the pond!
