Glamorous southern bell Angeria Paris VanMichaels is conquering the world with her passion for drag and sweet spirit. A break out star of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14, “Angie” is the epitome of high glamour, southern charm and Atlanta drag pageantry at its finest. From the country roads of Sparta, Georgia, to travelling across American and Europe on the 2022 Werq The World tour with her fellow Drag Race alumni, this old-school pageant queen has captivated thousands of audiences with performances you don’t want to miss.
Hailing from Atlanta, VanMichaels began watching the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race when a friend told her about the show whilst sat on the school bus. She began her own drag journey using the name Malayshia Ray Payne, before becoming Angeria Paris VanMichaels inspired by a girl from college called Angera. The stunning queen got her big break when she joined the cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14, and viewers quickly fell in love with her country charm and strong ability to serve fierce fashion and face. The first queen to win two challenges on the season, VanMichaels made it to the finale narrowly missing out on the crown.
Since rising to stardom on Drag Race, the gorgeous diva has toured the world with her Season 14 sisters, racked up nearly a quarter of a million followers on Instagram and dropped her first single and music video ‘Call Me Angie (Check) feat. Ocean Kelly’.
