[@bryangul0]

"Were you surprised you won?" "uhm.. No" YESSSS

[@pukechu9419]

actually, there's no "uhmm..". she's very certain and confident lol luv her ❤️

[@ready40111]

Violet out of drag looks like he would be a flamenco or salsa dance instructor.

[@greatest200]

Well, she is half Ecuadorian!

[@AarontheArtist57]

Robyn Rabbit YAAASS LATINA PRIDE!

[@naniccabe]

AarontheArtist57 yasss

[@sissi3025]

Oh my God, it's true! She only needs the castañuelas and the flamenco shoes!!

[@savannahgreer8326]

he looks like the flamenco teacher the very rich woman cheats on her husband with. he's that hawt. like "I'll risk the life of a billionaire wife for dat dick"

[@xXSilverSparrow32Xx]

I gained a lot of respect for Violet in the last untucked. Ginger and Kennedy teamed up on Violet and Pearl and she handled it so well. I love when she said that drag was more about expression and not competition. It was awesome. I'll love this girl forever.

[@cameo86]

Do you have a link?

[@normasantos4231]

Agreed. Ive always had so much respect fot her, from the very beginning. But watching that untucked episode made me respect her so much more ❤

[@user-yh8li2tm8g]

i think violet was staged as the mean girl, but when you actually watch it, it's always ginger (backed by kennedy) talking shit. violet's jabs on the show were more funny, ginger was pure evil sometimes.. especially when she confronts violet about it, just yelling at her face, i was like look in the mirror bitch. violet took it so well.

[@MERCHIODOS]

I know Ginger was like "you need to take drag seriously", but Drag is all about fun. I mean Trixie and Katya take the piss on Drag and thats what Drag is all about.

[@charlotteappleby8122]

"Are you surprised that you won?" "No." Hahahaha I liiiiiiive

[@definitelynotabby8555]

Charlotte Appleby I want her fucking confidence

[@MissLaceyNoel]

Violet is the most handsome out of drag and the most beautiful in drag. I absolutely adore her and her eye for fashion. Say what you want about her personality, but she's good to her fans and appreciates them. I think she was the perfect winner for season 7. She's the queen that will make it into the mainstream and take the fashion world by storm. Ru picked Violet for a reason. This transformation was fun! Violet is #Flawless

[@ilovehg724]

Pearl tho

[@Sweetmelissa528]

Lacey Noel She is sooo confident! I wish I had that confidence! Yasss! I am so glad she won! Come thruuuu!!!

[@Dalsemien]

Lacey Noel Transformation was boring though. She has nothing interesting to say.

[@dd123387]

Well, I definitely disagree. BUT Violet/Jason is gorgeous... but the "most beautiful"... I do believe possibly the top 7. But because "RuPaul picked her" doesn't necessarily mean that she was the ABSOLUTE BEST. She wasn't the most well-rounded queen. Example: 'Member Ms. Sanchez? But two snaps and a clap for Ms. Chachki, who is a VISIONARY and I do definitely believe that she/he WILL take the fashion industry by storm! It just so happens that she/he stumbles and falters at other aspects. But most definitely a Master of one trade! Every single DETAIL. Down to a toe nail, she/he is PRECISE. When it comes to fashion and a QUALITY look, she/he is absolutely wonderful at!

[@watertribewannabe]

But Fame and Milk are the ones taking drag into the mainstream fashion world...but ok werk

[@zack42187]

Everyone always says Pearl was the hottest guy of season 7 but violet is a very handsome man

[@nurlagrande]

"Man"? You sure...?

[@cool9378]

zack42187 Violet identifies as genderqueer

[@ChristalJ]

I agree. Both had model like looks to them. But I think because Pearls face was more chiseled or masculine. His jawline at least. Idk. But yeah Violet is a beautiful boy.

[@coppolatwins2991]

Agreed

[@zack42187]

Cool Nur La grande Pardon my oversimplification. Violet, out of drag, is attractive. Also a little commentary on misegendering: Unintentional misgendering is not really an insult. I'm a construction worker and 99% of the people I come into contact with in my job think I am straight. Because of the job I do and the way I talk and act, the straight men I work with assume I'm heterosexual. And I have to clarify that ALL THE TIME when they realize I'm different.... They don't realize I am gay because culture has implanted what 'gay' is in their heads and i don't fit that AT ALL, superficially speaking. They wonder why I know about fashion etc. and the things I like are, well... gay. While my sexuality is not relevant to my job,(nor is my gender for that matter) personal conversation comes up. Especially talk about women and sex... bro talk. They will engage me and i have to say, "oh I'm gay" and they go "REALLY? WHAT?" and i have to say yep and we move on with our lives. My point is this: although being mislabeled because of my appearance, these guys i work with are not insulting me. Is it annoying to have to come out to another straight college boy working for our company this summer? yes, but i handle it in stride. it's not an insult, just a cultural assumption. I think the same goes for genderqueer. Its hard to tell how a person who doesn't conform to the gender binary chooses to be labeled and although I respect them for who they are and need to be, I can't be held accountable if i misgender before that.

[@Prarthana782]

Am I the only one who finds Violet hot out of drag?

[@michaelmarcantel819]

Prarthana nope

[@Summerparadise16]

Nope

[@Jamieshowco1]

Prarthana violet is such a handsome boy out of drag

[@dianafuentes8509]

oh no. he IS hot out of drag

[@DeadPuppySweater]

Prarthana let's be real, Violet is perfect no matter WHAT

[@pepitogrillo8263]

Finally somebody yells at James for stop movin her head XD.

[@PentaTroyler]

Pepito Grillo ikr i was looking for this comment

[@anne-ni7yo]

Violet's voice is so soft, I could listen to her talking for hours

[@samisawolfff]

shes the perfect mixture of confident but still down to earth and can take a joke

[@WRMS1223]

i'd be so terrified to have Violet paint me, she'd probably read my entire damn genetic make up for filth

[@caitwin]

i love this

[@AshleyWebb96]

I'm very proud of Violet.. I understand that maybe she can sometimes come off as abrasive, but I think you also kinda need to understand that she gets a LOT of hate and maybe has built that wall for a reason. Like many people labeled "abrasive," Violet has other layers as well. Very talented, very sweet, and very beautiful.

[@MissLaceyNoel]

AshleyWebb96 I totally agree.

[@AshleyWebb96]

Lacey Noel​ right? I felt like her win was more than deserved. 🙌 one of my favorites hands down!

[@MissLaceyNoel]

I think she's going to be the one Ru girl who goes mainstream and take the fashion world by storm!

[@AshleyWebb96]

Lacey Noel​ I agree!!

[@claredelune]

I think it's refreshing to see someone confident and believing in themselves, in spite of past experiences and insecurities. It's a message of hope, really. It's a sharp contrast from watching someone allow their anxiety, fear, etc. bring them down and contribute to their failure.

[@AquilaLiberum]

I actually kinda admire Violet's confidence when she says she wasn't surprised at winning. I thought a lot of her looks on the show were really well thought out and put together.

[@MorkyMuffin]

Who else is craving for Katya in this show?

[@mrinkspot2245]

I can't wait to see what she does once she comes on!

[@ChasingChubbyRainbows]

Mörky Östblom LET IT HAPPEN!

[@Crescendum7]

Mörky Östblom Not me. She's so overrated

[@audrasupernova]

Akai Kavo you must not get her humor then

[@Crescendum7]

audrasupernova I do, she just got boring after half a season.

[@paularamirez2754]

Violet is so hot out of drag ❤ like Milk,Trixie and Pearl :3

[@paularamirez2754]

+touch me toe Nah i think Katya is cuter in drag :3

[@paularamirez2754]

+touch me toe either way she is cute

[@sierrabetterley]

Milk, Trixie, and Peal are my drag crushed too!

[@cryinginred]

Yesss! I am totally crushing on Violet! As well as Pearl, Trixie, and Katya! But head over heels with Violet though. Seriously bad. hahaha

[@iwuvwu123]

TRUE AS FUCK

[@jadehoffman9980]

Violet is human art!! She has SUCH an eye for detail!! Amazing!!

[@user-yh8li2tm8g]

violet is such a gorgeous boy. classic beauty

[@xe7535]

YAZ come through violet !

[@lulu-ug7hg]

Xochilt Escalante ok seriously we need to be best friends. i've been seeing you in the jknews comments for a while and now turns out you love drag queen too!!!

[@xe7535]

lolwa jones we are meant to be

[@lulu-ug7hg]

Xochilt Escalante it must be true love

[@nekocat2284]

Jknews and drag queens? Sign me up now!!!

[@GreenBanana675]

Violet is so cute out of drag.. ugh

[@stefan1299]

I want Pearl now

[@gilbertpsp]

She probably wouldn't show up lol

[@BlakeKretzmar]

gilbertpsp all tea all shade

[@Trblues22]

gilbertpsp or she might over sleep

[@Jojoolovesyou]

Stefan Jovanovic urgh iknow right?!

[@oilwellkid]

I LOVE her roaring twenties/thirties inspired pieces, but I'm wanting to see her in Tudor Renaissance. If she's into any era where there was glamour, look at the court of King Henry the 8th and the hot pieces of ass who visited the palace.

[@MizAchluophobic]

Yes yes yes !

[@MinaF99]

I feel like this episode was much more time lapse than the others I want to actually see violet talking and doing the shit instead of 90% fast forward with just voice over... Or is this all in my head

[@szacharyf]

When these episodes are mostly fast forwarding through, it means the person took forever doing the look. James has said people can take up to 3 hours doing these looks sometimes. Personally, I would be dead if I had to sit there for hours. You can see the look on James' face sometimes when they are doing something and stop to talk instead of talking and doing.

[@seanmac1902]

Zachary Fehr I'm in makeup school right now and we switch from artist to model. so I now know his pain of sitting there for 3 hours xD Idk how he stays so energetic

[@rebeccaharvey5528]

+Mina F James said in Katya's transformation that Violet spent like four hours on one eye. That's why hahahaha.

[@GraeMarie]

They said it took her over an hour just to do the one eye makeup.

[@TheVodkaCox]

+Grae-Marie Biggs James said it took 4 hours to do one eye lol

[@eloisegauci]

I get Matt Healy vibes from Violet's out of drag look

[@evagauffin3597]

ikr?? it's cool bc violet is andogynous (spelling??) and matty said he's always bern kind of androgynous too... they're too alike

[@user-yh8li2tm8g]

yeeesss ! i totally see that now

[@loganspifey5461]

there's that violet additude I've missed:)

[@seanmac1902]

That was a Trixie eye lol

[@mowganashwey]

Sean Mac I came to the comments looking for this 😂😂😂

[@Qwistie_]

I really like the silver stone diva look. Something about shiny, beaded hair that exudes luxuriousness.

[@xingcat]

The young ones have fewer coping mechanisms for James' flailing about. The older makeup artists all just roll with it.

[@cupnoodles201]

xingcat It's not because she's young, it's because she's not a makeup artist and isn't used to doing other people's makeup...

[@christianrios4580]

Everything isn't about age as stated

[@xingcat]

Oh, I didn't mean skill level, I meant more that the older club kids could probably deal with James falling into a K-hole or freaking out due to a bad trip and keep painting. The younger ones (not just Violet) get all flustered. I think it's also that they're all a bit more....sober? Than the 80s/90s scenes were. :)

[@morecklechat5280]

It's actually incredibly inconsiderate to move around when someone's doing your hair or makeup. Most of the artists endure it here because it's James' show and that's just part of the gig. However, try sitting down with any hair or makeup artist and I promise they won't let you move.

[@matthewh7842]

Moreck Lechat agreed. I think it's fine to have him ask questions, as it's part of the show, but JSJ needs to learn to stay still and ask questions when there's a momentary lull...and not move his head. :) I love James completely, so it's no shade here. I just feel he's capable of being still AND still ask questions. :)

[@YouTuberOnlineNow]

So glad she won. very happy to she her growth as a crowned queen

[@leonardotarso9006]

Violet ...her fashion, her drag : Number one!!!

[@LexiSofia10]

i cried as soon as i saw this on my subscriptions I LOVE U VIOLET

[@Marshalsalley96]

Seriously need Latrice Muthafuckin Royale on this show

[@heyLORDitsme]

Marshalsalley96 ok I just have to let you know that she's been on here! have you seen it? it was so lovely! hilarious!

[@musicsavedme3534]

Get those nuts out of my face

[@aggily]

I love how straight forward Jason is. Like he knows he deserved to win and I live for it.

[@starrychica82]

I love violet I don't understand all the violet haters. I really like her. The only drag race queen I can think I don't like is Tyra Sanchez. She was so boring to me. And I was obessed with Raven that year. I still love Raven. But am now obessed with Alaska

[@gazepskotzs4]

obessed?

[@jaqsre]

Patrick Hempe Obsessed. They just spelled it wrong, no big deal tbh

[@jocampbell2865]

YESSS I totally relate. I really couldn't stand Tyra and I absolutely adored Raven and Jujubee.

[@CiaoBriella]

While the season was airing I was Team Ginger. I felt like she represented what a lot of "every day" people picture a drag queen to be. People who don't exactly know a whole lot about drag queens and their new age aesthetic. The biggest part of being a drag queen is to entertain and she can definitely do that. (Not better than Bianca of course. Never.) After the choice was made and Violet won, I was kinda surprised but she grows on you. Like a wart.

[@Shakirrito]

When Miss Purple said she was gonna do a look like this during drag race I felt to the floor. Imagine this look with one of her sickening outfits. Dead!!! I mean she slayed every single week but now I wanna see this.

[@DrewGaymes]

Such a fun look! Too bad she never got to show it on drag race! But atleast we got to see it here!

[@nelly1667]

"you fight you love...... somethimes incest happens"😂

[@TheNightGaiden]

COME THROUGHH VIOLET I LOVE YOU AND JAMES SOOO AND GET WILLAM ON HERE NOWWW

[@CurleeSammy]

"Were you surprised when you won?" NO

[@TiggiTheWillful]

Loved every second. We need jinkxy now!: God violet is so cute!

[@alyssapeterson4937]

There's one with Jinkx, Alaska, and Roxxxy.

[@laurawilder1234]

Legitimately screamed when I saw this in my sub box! Violet is my everything!

[@onarioledezma4300]

I don't care what people say violet is pretty!

[@LiviaSalvador]

Before the lipstick James kinda looks like Nina Flowers

[@stevemacfarlane4925]

Hiya there gorgeous girl, nice to meet you. Wooow ur looking very attractive and very gorgeous and very beautiful woman I've ever seen. I would like us to be friends and keep in touch with each other and if you ever wanted to chat with me, find me and look me up ok.

[@maggotchowder777]

Steve Macfarlane what the fuck

[@TonyLehane]

I want this beauty's confidence. Not only is she attractive but she has the talent and performance skills to back her shit up and that is why she won.

[@BeCoolAndLiveLife]

I watched the first episode of season 7 and I didn't even finish the season cause I knew Violet would win.

[@ninapritzlchristensen8075]

I love how his hair just gets more messy.

[@thedarthflagger]

Violet looks like David Gahan from Depeche Mode.

[@nokes22]

He looks like a young Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode! :)

[@keepcalmandlivelife848]

I'm crying tears of joy its violet chachki 🙌🙌🙌

[@janejanejanejane871]

FUCKKKKK MY GENDERQUEER BABY I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH

[@RodrigoSantos28]

*This is one of the most creative looks I've ever seen a drag doing in James. Violet slayed*

[@XxRayne178xX]

Wheezing yassssss finally Now all we need is Pearl for an episode of this

[@0xrawrimarainbowx0]

COME THRUUU TRANSFORMATIONS!!!

[@abbyoswald6282]

lmao does anyone have a huge crush on pearl and violet?

[@annaintoxic8317]

I came back to this video just to see Violet floating around in the background when James revealed the final transformation

[@ChristalJ]

His dye job is fucking great. It's literally a black toned green. It's perfect.

[@CamHeartsMakeup99]

I think that's just the lighting! But their hair is gorgeous no matter what

[@Jay_R_]

That's just a mixture of the lighting and the dark green background. His hair is black (or DARK brown, if you will)

[@MrGameplayGirl]

I kind don't care for Violet...but at the same time he seems really cool, cute and chill...wtf

[@TearMyWorldFANTAGE]

This is exactly how I feel about Violet.

[@MrGameplayGirl]

Amen *****

[@ilovehg724]

Me too

[@cj-kx4tj]

Come through! I've been waiting for this for forever 🙌

[@aflak1992]

I love the people who are like "she needs to be humble"... no she doesn't. She said on the show shes her biggest fan. That confidence won her a crown.

[@LetsChatGrace]

YES VIOLET COME THROUGHHHH👏🏼🙌🏻

[@DailyInsanity21]

get Pearl on the show 🙏🏻 her makeup is the most beautiful thing ever

[@MarMar828]

Where's the after video of them taking it off?

[@domodomo421]

They need to post that on Halloween because I know it was a horror show.

[@scorneli1202]

MarMar828 Double sided carpet tape on the face? Ouch. Beauty is pain.

[@claredelune]

James is a trooper for not using a bald cap!

[@seriousyak4734]

This was a very beautiful transformation. Great job, Violet!!

[@arnoldmogielinski93]

10:12 Violet just confirmed Ms. Alyssa Edwards' suspicions about her being on Grindr, HA!

[@manuel32720011]

welcome to my fashhhh. im jameshh shaint jameshhh and thish ish transhformachions

[@nhatreally]

violet is my fav queen.

[@smokelakes]

Think Sasha Belle would be amazing for this series

[@MissLaceyNoel]

smokelakes She needs to be on!!

[@tracitamatteo511]

smokelakes and james st james getting drunk with her yesssss

[@HeyMyLifeIsLibby]

It would be a nice change of pace...he hasn't had a filler queen on in a while.

[@tracitamatteo511]

***** O...!!!!

[@smokelakes]

***** Filler queen on the show for sure. But top tier makeup/outfit game in real life

[@marissasteffani8037]

There is a reason Violet won. She may be a pretty Queen but she’s very strategic and precise. Very intelligent

[@monikazon]

I'M FREAKING OUT THIS IS SO AMAZING

[@beepboop449]

I love violets hair, what a fucking cutie

[@shongee6689]

James is all on him and Violet is like...all leaned back "gimme 50 ft.".

[@chrisnunya2001]

I am in LOVE with Violet aka Jason

[@collapsingnewpunkie]

Damn Violet looks like Dave Gahan what the hell nice

[@MarkoPoloFab]

I want Jeffree Star to do your makeup!

[@TylerLethersin]

They said in a past episode that there trying to get him on. The thing is jeffree isn't a drag queen. He's just Androgynous. He's a makeup artist & his skills are out of this world. But he's known for a look kind of like miss fames. Like its a very flawless glamour queen look. I think he mostly does girls makeup I mean idk this is what I feel. He does Androgynous style which is basically girl goddess looks.

[@uschilou]

TylerLethersin But they have all sorts of people on transformations. Men, women, makeup artists, artists etc...I think Jeffree would be a perfect fit among previous guests!

[@szacharyf]

TylerLethersin James said Jeffree Star has been one of his top people he's wanted on the show. Its not a matter of drag queen or not, they've had regular people on this show that aren't drag queens but popular makeup artists. That's what this show started with. I believe its a matter of Jeffree not really being apart of this community (drag race, world of wonder, ect.) Like, say, TS Madison and such. He does his own thing and I feel like he puts his nose up to doing stuff like this. I wish he would do this show though. Itd be sickening af. Everyone needs to ban together and start demanding him to come on

[@SunnieMonroe]

Zachary Fehr Jeffree is actually close with some of the queens (Miss Fame, Alyssa, Laganja...) and Michelle supports his makeup line as well. i think he is part of the community being he has shouted out Drag Race multiple times before. I just asked him on instagram about it today too. I do hope he is on it though. He is very sweet in person!

[@TylerLethersin]

A. Rive No hes not. Hes really changed from his days during beauty killer and when he had some drama. I Love jeffree and everyone would love to see him on the show. Hes doing so good with his makeup and everything. Maybe hes waiting until more of his makeup comes out. Idk?

[@NGBAITYSCmma]

So great seeing violet paint and hear her talk about her craft.I loved this

[@anniexx382]

I've been waiting to see Violet on here for a while. This makes my day :')

[@sarah45532]

apparently she spent 4 hours just working on that one eye.....

[@7amodixx]

1:28 Dax! 👀

[@maddisonrobwowiwitz9521]

nah, i'm p sure dax was her second drag mom bc vi is proud to be her daughter

[@p.e.d6541]

This is the weirdest transformation so far LOL

[@cupnoodles201]

Po E Duff You must not have seen many of these...

[@guyralphs6108]

cupnoodles201 Haaaaaaaaaa!!!

[@SonyaPONPON]

BEAUTIFUL

[@guyralphs6108]

Yaaaaaas Violeeeeeet Chachkiiiii!!!!

[@ChristalJ]

His hair is just great

[@chasonfrost68]

This is definitely the most James St James we've seen James in a while. Ammaaazing look.

[@ShugaAnnSpyce]

I always feel so sorry for James every time the artists say something insulting about him lol. I really hope he doesn't give AF.

[@PrecociousFriand]

Similar to Fame's 'Death Becomes Her" knife-through-head look.

[@georgiaonexchange]

Oh my god I just freaked out seeing this in my subscriptions omg

[@officialreginageorge3507]

Violet is so damn hot as a guy and a girl! And I am living for the dark hair on dark shirt yes mama, edgy chic

[@riahw5109]

James kinda looks like Nina Flowers at the end lol 😂

[@legrovar]

Instant like, long live our reigning queen!

[@Willyonce]

I expect more honestly

[@hasanedwards5322]

final-fucking-ly! come through!

[@tracitamatteo511]

ive been waiting for this for so long.........

[@antoniovillarreal7818]

Violet is so gorgeous as a man😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@michaelmarcantel819]

yassss now pearl!

[@ns3620]

Dying when James St. James did the ta-ta shake at the end, work it girl!

[@AliasPaine]

I wasn't entirely sure what to feel at the beginning but the finished product... so stunning. Love it! Pearl better be next, goddammit!

[@TheAwesomenessOfJay]

Violet is an incredibly talented queen, and she definitely deserved to be in the top three from Season 7, but I cannot stand her attitude. There were other queens in her season which were very capable with turning out a look, but were also talented performers and were far more pleasant people *cough* Katya *cough*

[@dd123387]

*clap clap*

[@RafaelaSouza-mi6gl]

Yeeeees! I mean, she is super stylish bla bla bla but she is so arrogant, Pearl, Katya, even Max always had amazing looks plus were humble and funny, and It seems Violet it's only about apparence and looking pretty.

[@lissimarroquin91]

violet is so sweeet

[@lauraclare7191]

Fancy the hell out of Violet, in drag and out of drag 😍😍😍

[@jordankoal]

The best parts of this video is when they fast forward and Violet shuts up.
