Good evening, good evening, good evening!

Season four!

Ten queens stepped into

the brand-new Drag Race France arena.

After an absolutely legendary season

packed with talent...

Your talent was as big as your skirt was short.

...plenty of laughs...

I may not be the prettiest or the most fashionable.

,...and raw emotion... ,It completely shattered my confidence.

Drag really helped me build all of that back up.

I truly believe in it.

,...and irresistible looks... ,This is incredibly powerful.

Oh, yeah!

I was completely mesmerized. I couldn't look away.

...not to mention plenty of twists and turns...

Which queen did you choose to save tonight?

La Harpie.

,I'm saving myself. ,Fluffy.

I'm giving it to Lana.

Only two queens remain onstage.

I'm sorry, my sweet, but it's time to sashay away.

Your journey ends here.

Tonight, only four queens remain, and there's just one throne.

Who will become the next queen of French drag?

Will it be Lana Cotta?

This stage is massive. It's the end of an incredible journey.

It's the biggest drag show of the year.

,Daisy Superbitch? ,I've fought hard to get here.

Now we want that crown!

Azémylia?

There's gonna be lip-syncing, there's gonna be one hell of a show.

The other three queens standing next to me better be ready.

,Sublyme? ,I can't wait to see the crowd.

I can't wait to see everyone.

,I'm so excited!

- ,Get ready for takeoff, - And may the best drag queen... win!

Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between,

welcome to the grand finale of Drag Race France, season four!

They're iconic, they're gorgeous, they're dramatic,

and most importantly, they're here!

So make some noise for the queens of Drag Race France, season four!

Tonight on the runway, the category is...

Drag-nifique!

The diva of both runway and opera,

all the way from America, Creatine Price!

She's stolen your hearts, and your sisters,

the queen of fashion, Mala Witz!

We still don't know if she found the restroom,

but she did find her way to the Grand Rex,

the hilarious Margarette!

She's a French drag icon known all over the world, Holly White!

Everything she touches turns into art,

the mesmerizing Fluffy Bidule!

Her look will always be better than yours,

the legend of Lille drag, La Harpie!

And now, here are our four finalists!

With legendary dance moves and an iconic laugh,

the one and only Azémilya!

She's super talented,

super gorgeous, and super Belgian, Daisy Superbitch!

Equally at home in a corset or a suit,

the most Marseillaise superstar of them all, Lana Cotta!

She lights up Paris with rhinestones and glitter.

No, that's not the Eiffel Tower, it's Sublyme!

The queens of Drag Race France, season four!

We were born to be beautiful and proud, flash, pose!

We shine even brighter in the spotlight, flash, pose!

We've each got our own kind of beauty, flash, pose!

We're tearing those old ideals down

Flash, pose! We were born to be beautiful and proud

Beautiful and proud

We shine even brighter in the spotlight

In the spotlight

We've each got our own kind of beauty, one of a kind, one of a kind

We're tearing those old ideals down

- Tear them down! - We were born to be beautiful and proud

Good evening, good evening, good evening!

We're here together on France Télévisions

for the grand finale of Drag Race France!

But first, I want to thank you all.

More of you tuned in than ever before

to watch Drag Race France this season.

It's our most-watched season ever!

Give yourselves a round of applause!

Thanks to all of you, Drag Race France has become the must-see show of the summer.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Tonight, I'll be crowning the new queen of French drag.

Do you want to know who's going to win this season?

- Yes! - Well, we'll find out soon enough.

But here's what I can tell you:

- They've got a legen, - Dary show in store for you!

Oh, I've missed that!

There are four queens left,

but only two will earn a spot in the final lip sync

and get the chance to fight for the crown,

to one of the biggest songs in pop music history.

To find out which two queens make the cut,

they'll first have to bring it in a solo performance.

And this year, there's a little twist.

- Want me to tell you? - Yes!

In just a few seconds.

Before I spill all the details,

make some noise for this season's judges:

Daphné Bürki, Anggun, and Loïc Prigent!

Good evening, my friends! How are you doing?

We're doing amazing!

- We're doing great! - No, you're not seeing things.

Anggun and Loïc really are in the same place at the same time.

- So nice to meet you! - You too!

You're about to see all the queens together. How are you feeling?

Honestly, Loïc, I'm so happy to meet you.

Here, in person. Finally.

And I'd like to congratulate you on your wedding,

even though I didn't get an invite.

You'll have to take that up with the wedding planner.

If you had to sum up this season in one word, what would it be?

Let's start with Anggun.

Masterclass.

Yes, because when you look at

the “Night at the Museum” runway,

the Talent Show,

Snatch Game, Musidrag...

I really feel like this year,

we've got some true stars.

Okay, that was sixty-two and a half words,

but it was fantastic.

- - Daphné? - So much respect. - So much respect for our ten queens.

This season was absolutely incredible.

So much respect for their creativity,

for their generosity,

and for everything they gave onstage in front of the whole country.

I want that same deep respect to extend to our community and to one another,

because Drag Race France is such a wonderful safe haven,

and we need to protect it.

Thank you, Daphné.

Loïc?

Well, fashion. It was pure fashion.

These queens had some serious horsepower this season, if you ask me.

And I loved that we got to see how, behind every queen,

behind every drag artist,

there's a creative family, a chosen family,

helping out and making it all happen.

Much respect, and a huge shout-out to everyone who helps create these wild

looks. I just want to say, I want to go to a Fluffy Bidule fashion show with

Margarette.

Because she's the queen of fashion.

We'll go to La Harpie's fashion show too, because...

Work.

Are we ready to meet the grand winner of season four?

The judges are ready. You're ready. They're ready.

Then let the finale begin!

To make it to the final lip sync,

our four finalists will first have to wow us

with a solo performance.

And there's a new twist this year.

They'll perform songs you already know,

by artists we love.

They got to choose from iconic songs by Suzane,

Hoshi, Bilal Hassani,

and Lorie!

Because that's how we all got our start onstage.

With a song, an idea, and a look.

And courage.

They had to create an aesthetic that reflects who they are,

through both their look and their staging.

Are you ready for one hell of a drag show, my friends?

Bring out my first finalist!

Good evening.

Sublyme.

No, not them. Me.

LOL.

Hello, come closer.

I'm Sublyme, your fabulous ringleader.

I'm super stressed out.

It's beautiful!

- You made it yourself? Yes. - I make my own outfits. Sublime.

You looked sublime. Oh, it's Sublyme!

Literally her. Sublyme.

One thing no one could ever criticize you for is your aesthetic.

Oh, wow...

Sublyme...

Great start. I can't wait to see what's next.

It's time for Snatch Game!

,I don't want to. ,You don't want to?

,I'm scared. ,Is it a phobia?

I don't want to speak up.

This is a real challenge for me.

My spot is on the line.

I'm not good at thinking on my feet.

,I can't be funny like them.

,I think Sublyme is hilarious.

,I picked Franck Ribéry. ,Perfect!

Never lower the shoulders of your arms.

And always, believe in your dreams.

Always.

Even when you lost confidence, you were incredibly strong.

- ,You're in the top, Sublyme. ,It's true! - ,We're not lying to you.

,The worst challenge is behind you.

I'm gonna go for it like never before!

I feast on rhinestones. I'm a classy bitch.

Wow! You look gorgeous.

You seem so comfortable. Like this is

exactly where you belong.

This season, you didn't just show us

how you earned your reputation,

but also why you're going to go so much further.

You came in with your vulnerability, your emotions,

your doubts, your tears.

You had to overcome your own demons,

but you did it.

I lost my father two years ago.

And we didn't exactly have an amazing relationship either.

I want to be loved.

I was in a show for two years.

And after two years, he came to see me.

He told my best friend,

"I had no idea he did this. I'm proud of him."

And we never talked about it.

,Then he was gone.

,Look at me!

When I came to Paris, I built my own family.

They taught me

how to say, "I love you."

Here I am!

,Here I am! ,No one's going home tonight.

Shantay, you both stay.

I never thought I'd do everything I've done.

Long live Daphné, long live Loïc, and long live the queers!

Sublyme, you’re still in the competition.

You’re headed to the finale.

I’m the proudest drag queen in the world.

I’ve come a long way. I’ve grown.

And I want to show people that if you really want something,

you can make it happen.

Seriously, you guys, just go for it.

I’m so happy. And I’ll be even happier

with another crown on my head.

Girls, you’re not ready for me.

I’m about to snatch that crown.

A touch of black around my eyes

A flower tucked into my hair

And my body starts swaying to the beat

A splash of tequila

And just like that, I’m a señorita

Always ready for a fiesta

All it takes is everyone getting up to dance

Then we’re ready to sing and forget about everything

To a Latin melody

I can feel the tempo

Those Latin rhythms

The heat is always on

From Paris to Rio de Janeiro, ritmo latino

Ritmo...

Ritmo...

Latino, bailar

Conmigo

To a Latin melody

I can feel the tempo

Those Latin rhythms

The heat is always on

From Paris to Rio de Janeiro

Just like the ideals I live by

I take off in no time

And get swept up in those Latin rhythms

Sublyme!

Did you love it, Paris?

Judges, was Sublyme truly... sublime?

Absolutely. It’s right there in her name.

Sublyme, the fashion world’s favorite word.

- That wig? Sublime. - Thank you.

That makeup? Sublime.

That choreography? Sublime.

- Honestly, the whole thing was sublime. - Thank you so much.

Sublyme, you’re no newcomer to drag.

You’ve been doing drag for thirteen years.

But it felt like you rediscovered yourself and truly came into your own.

What was it like watching yourself back?

I had no idea I was capable of all that.

I’m just so proud of myself.

That’s what this is all about. And we’re so proud of you.

You had all of France cracking up with your Snatch Game

impersonation of Franck Ribéry.

I have a question.

What would Franck want to say to Sublyme tonight?

I think he’d say, “Never let the shoulders of your arms droop,” especially tonight.

Honestly, that really is the perfect saying for this moment.

Your flowers move. Mine just stay put.

- Oh, yeah! - I’m... Security!

Excuse me, can we get a close-up of this masterpiece?

Everyone, give it up for Sublyme!

You didn’t come alone tonight.

You’ve got some loved ones here with you.

- Oh, yes. - Including your mom, Joëlle.

- Hello, ma’am. - Hello!

Sublyme told us your family can be a little reserved

and that sometimes it’s hard for you to tell each other how you feel.

Is there anything you’d like to say to him?

I just want to tell him how incredibly proud I am of him.

He set out to do what he wanted, and he did it.

- That says it all. - Thank you.

There’s nothing like a mother’s words.

Three syllables, and the tears start flowing.

Thank you, Mom... I mean, ma’am! Sorry!

Sublyme, I have one last question for you.

What would you say to little Clément?

I'd tell him how lucky he was

to grow up in a loving family,

even if we weren't always open with our feelings.

That he never backed down.

That he can be truly proud of himself, every step of the way.

And I think it proves that when you're surrounded by love,

you can make it.

Thank you, Sublyme.

No, thank you.

We just might see you in the final lipsync,

where you'll have a shot at becoming the next queen of French drag.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

This year, we were once again lucky enough to welcome some incredible guest stars,

including a legend of French cinema,

who did us the honor of serving as this season's godmother.

Isabelle Adjani!

Did we love having her on Drag Race France?

You know what, Paris?

Let's tell her to her face.

Isabelle Adjani!

Good evening.

Good evening, Nicky. Good evening, César Awards.

It's an honor to once again accept

this incredibly hard-to-win award,

an award you can only win by possessing something rare and wonderful: talent.

Good evening, Ruby.

Who?

Oh, right, the drag queen.

I absolutely loved her on Snatch Game.

It's not often someone does a good impression of me.

Actually, I think she should've won season three.

Yes, of course.

It's so good to see you again, "Isabelle."

It's always a pleasure seeing myself onstage.

Although usually, the audience shouts my name a lot louder than that.

Isabelle?

Isabelle! Isabelle! Isabelle!

And you are?

I'm Isabelle Adjani.

Oh, please!

Good evening, Isabelle.

Nicky, don't let just any old drag queen fool you.

I don't look anything like that!

With that fake-real blonde hair.

It's my new color.

I made a little change to my makeup

in your honor. Actresses are drag queens like any other.

Exactly!

Thank you for joining us, Isabelle.

Stop calling her Isabelle!

You can clearly see it's me. Look.

Oh, she really does look like her.

No, but I can do that too.

Oh, that's pretty good too!

Okay, which one is the real Isabelle?

But everyone's Isabelle Adjani.

I'm Isabelle Adjani. They're Isabelle Adjani.

She is not Isabelle Adjani!

We're not seriously gonna have an Isabelle Adjani battle

to find out who the real one is, are we?

We are?

There are two Isabelle Adjanis left onstage.

It's now or never.

Who's the real one?

Is it her?

Or her?

Oh, Grand Rex, I think we have a winner.

The real Isabelle Adjani is...

Ruby on the Nail!

Yes! Yes! It's me!

I won something! Thank you!

I finally won!

Ruby! Ruby! Ruby!

Well, Ruby, you've officially been unmasked.

Oops. Okay, fine, it's me, Ruby.

Isabelle.

May I touch you?

No.

But you may embrace me.

Everybody, give it up for Isabelle Adjani!

Isabelle, thank you again for joining us

and for bringing so much respect, kindness, and generosity.

We couldn't have asked for a better godmother.

You know, Nicky,

you and all the queens have inspired me to ask a truly fundamental question,

one that will stay with me:

“To be or not to be...

queer?”

I don't know about you, but that's definitely my next tattoo.

Tonight, I can't exactly say

that “I'm not crazy, you know.”

Don't worry, we're all crazy here.

Having you here was an honor. Any final words?

I'm so, so happy to be here.

But I would like to leave now.

No doubt about it, everybody, she really is the real deal.

Once a queen, always a queen!

Isabelle Adjani and Ruby on the Nail!

Thank you so much, ladies.

This is the Drag Race France finale on France Télévisions!

To make it to the final lip sync for the crown,

our four finalists still have one last challenge to face.

A solo performance set to a song by a well-known artist.

After Sublyme, which queen will take the stage next?

We're about to find out.

Well, there's only room for one airhead.

I'm Azémylia,

the best dancer ever to grace Drag Race France.

Yes, that really is my laugh.

That gets me every time.

My jaw hit the floor.

You truly embody everything drag is about.

I'm the boss, you're the clown. Take notes, sit back, and watch

me leave the whole crowd shook. I can't be dethroned.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Azémylia, congratulations. You're this week's winner.

Thank you!

Oh my gosh...

No one's managed to find Azémylia's pause button yet.

- Drama in the house! - I'm dead!

- It's twelve twenty-six! - It's twelve twenty-six! It's twelve twenty-six!

- Good evening, Fauve.

- That's a ten!

I saw more Azémylia in you than Fauve Hautot.

What had to happen, happened.

Holly White, Azémylia, it's now or never.

Click, click, bang, bang, bang!

I'm stealing your little heart, baby.

You're so irresistible.

Azémylia, shantay, you stay.

Holly White is a role model to me.

I'm so fucking crushed.

I'm going to fight for Holly White.

I'm going to try to make her proud.

Go, go, go!

You've got this badass energy, and it's contagious.

Challenge complete!

Great job, girls.

All three of you are this week's winners.

La Harpie, you're this week's winner.

I'm so pissed.

Gotta save face, right?

We're in the top.

- La Harpie, sweetheart? - Yeah, what's up?

That little speech wasn't a toast you gave,

it was a whole sandwich.

We could hear the crickets in Provence from here.

- There are two queens left onstage.

- There's one spot and two of us.

It's gonna be me.

Azémylia. Shantay, you're going to the finale.

I've been in every position in this competition.

I started out on top,

then I slipped a little, and even at rock bottom,

I put on a show to keep my spot.

I deserved it.

"Sometimes, you felt like you didn't belong out in the country.

"You were mocked, insulted,

"and humiliated at school and in middle school.

"That made you stronger, and you're getting stronger every day.

"You have people by your side who love and support you."

I feel ready to take on the crown,

to wear it on my head and represent French drag.

I've been waiting for this moment pretty much my whole life.

Make your life a celebration

Do what you don't do every day

Do whatever you feel like

Make, make love again

Celebrate death, too

Don't live a ready-made life

The way you were told to

Live your own life

Not somebody else's

Not the one they choose for you

Yeah, make it truly yours

Keep the party going for another thousand years

Have kids in a safe place

Do your part for the Earth

The day after the party

The world looks like the day after a party

There's no more glitter

The world looks like the day after a party

The day after the party

Make a kind gesture or share a smile

Don't expect anything in return

Tell them, “I love you,” today

Why wait another day?

You never know

What life will bring

As if it were the last

The day after the party

Keep the party going

The day after a party

Azémylia!

Did you enjoy that, Grand Rex?

Now, Azémylia... The question on everyone's mind.

What time is it?

It's twelve twenty-six!

Judges, any thoughts on what you just saw?

Azémylia... Yes.

To me, you're the performer of the season.

Thank you.

You dance like a dream, and you're quick on your feet.

You're upbeat, and you bring such great energy.

And once again tonight, you showed us

that you really can dance like nobody else.

And if you ever need any ice packs,

just let us know.

Because seriously, that was incredible.

And what an amazing journey.

Congratulations. You truly are a star.

Thank you, Anggun. Thank you.

You really have been a fierce competitor.

You won two challenges: the anthem and the girl group.

You were often in the top.

What was your mindset coming into this?

I came into Drag Race France hungry to win.

To me, it's a competition, a contest,

and I only had one goal: to win the competition.

To win. I told myself, "If I give everything my all,

and hopefully it works out,

I'll either get wins or place in the top."

Turns out I landed in the bottom too, but that's okay.

You were in the top for the makeover.

I believe our "Refugee Queens" friends are here with us.

Hello!

It's so good to see you.

,Is Sexy Halal here? ,She's right here!

You're the dancing queen of the season.

Were you afraid of being reduced to that?

At first, yes. That's why I got into this mindset

of, "No matter what, I'm gonna crush Snatch Game."

Spoiler alert: I didn't.

But honestly, I'm okay with being known for that.

It's what I do best,

and I do it like nobody else, so I'm good with it.

You didn't come alone.

Your boyfriend and your parents are here.

Yes!

Good evening. What would you say to your child,

who's in the Drag Race France finale,

airing in France and all around the world?

I wanted to tell Azémylia,

no matter what happens, what matters tonight

is that, in my heart, you've already won it all.

Thank you, Mom. So don't worry.

No matter how this journey goes, I love you.

I love you too, Mom!

Thank you so much, everyone.

Thank you, Mom.

Azémylia, I have one last question for you.

What would you say to little Antoine?

Well, I already knew how to pose.

So cute.

I'd tell him to believe in his dreams,

because one day, they'll come true.

I'm here now.

It'll happen. Don't be afraid of what the future has in store for you.

Overcome every obstacle.

And what else?

Well, fuck the haters.

That's right!

Thank you, Azémylia.

Thank you so much. Kisses!

Will she be the next queen of French drag?

We'll find out in just a few moments.

But first, shall we relive the funniest moments of the season?

Because there were plenty. Take a look.

Music!

Don't show your ass. Sorry.

Bitch.

Lana Cotta.

A hot body and a huge head, like a real Chupa Chups.

But nobody wants to suck her.

That's not true.

Are we drooling a little?

No.

- I'm sorry. - She got punched. She smacked me!

Take a step back, just like your hairline.

Stop fighting and let the dick do the talking.

Azémylia! I don't like being a redhead. Stop!

No! Come here, Réglisse. Come here.

Is he pulling on the leash?

Licorice! Come on.

,Are you pregnant? ,No, it's gas.

,The gluten, the gluten.

,Sublyme,

reminding us that a name isn't everything.

Bitch.

How long have you been doing drag?

Almost five years, maybe. How about you?

It's been almost twenty years.

Well, good for you.

Is she a squirter?

I splashed Isabelle.

My mom's gonna see this.

We don't wanna be a balloon.

Loreen?

,I'm twenty-four. , How old do you think I am?

Come on, between twenty-seven and thirty-two?

No? Younger?

Noam, the greatest artist of all time?

My mother.

That's true.

What I think I look like,

what I actually look like.

Blyat!

Yeah, I can lift my leg too!

Do you have dentures?

Sublyme's about to get kicked in the teeth.

Fublyme.

For example, don't do any of that.

I got scared of my own dress, dumb bitch.

,Okay, not bad. ,Way to go, superstar.

We’re all here on France Télévisions

for the must-see Drag Race France grand finale!

Tonight, you’ll finally find out

who’ll be crowned our grand winner.

But first, make some noise for the rest of this season’s stars:

Creatine Price, Mala Witz, Marguerite, Hollywite,

Fluffy Bidule, and Ruby on the Nail!

Creatine Price, you are unbelievably talented.

We all know that voice, those looks, and that incredible stage presence.

And honestly,

I really want you to hear this: you were already a superstar,

you’re a superstar today, and you’ll still be one tomorrow.

We’re all so proud of you.

We truly are.

You said your one regret

was not getting to perform your Talent Show.

Well, I have an offer for you.

Would you like to be the very first queen

to perform her Talent Show in front of a live audience?

Maybe we should let the audience decide.

What do you all think?

Creatine, the stage is all yours!

Ladies and gentlemen, dear viewers,

it is I, Créatine Price.

I laugh to see myself so beautiful in this mirror

I laugh to see myself so beautiful in this mirror

Is that you, Créatine?

Is that you? Answer me, answer me

Answer, answer, answer me quickly! No, no

That's no longer you

No, no, that's no longer your face

It's the daughter of a king

It's the daughter of a king

That's no longer you

That's no longer you

It's the daughter of a king

Whom all salute as she passes

Good heavens, where are my jewels?

- My jewels? - Come on!

I can't live without them.

Maybe they're here?

I swear...

They're here!

Créatine, that's no longer you

That's no longer your face, no

It's the daughter of a king

Whom all salute as she passes

My jewels!

Créatine Price,

live at the Grand Rex.

Thank you, Créatine.

Malawitte!

Hello!

You've shown the world that drag is for everyone.

Do you realize you inspire millions of people?

Honestly, when I first started out,

I really struggled with impostor syndrome.

But after the show, getting all this love,

the love I’m seeing here today,

I realized what I do is amazing, meaningful, and just really cool.

So thank you for being here,

and thank you for showing me so much love. It’s...

We’re only getting started!

Lesbians for the win, y’all!

You weren’t there for the girl-group challenge,

but you were like, “I still wrote my verse.”

Will you perform it live for us?

Okay, so it goes...

First lesbian of color,

Post-op, yes, bitch, I’ve already won

Baby, I’m a ten, ten, ten

I hit the runway like a queen, queen, queen

Malawitte, mala-star, mala-queen, Mala-Mala-Malawitte

Mala-boss, mala-king, mala, mala...

Hands up, Mala Nation!

Give it up for Malawitte!

Margarette!

What?!

I think we can all agree:

You’re one of the funniest queens Drag Race France has ever had.

And when you were eliminated, the audience was absolutely heartbroken.

,Yeah. ,And I have to admit,

so was I.

That was really, really hard.

What’s your secret to being so funny?

That’s a great question.

Spending five years studying for a degree that, in my case, is completely useless.

So, you went home right before Snatch Game.

Yeah.

I think that was the most frustrating moment of the season.

And I think we’re all dying to know who you would’ve done.

You know The Tuches? Yeah!

Well, that's not it.

No. It's Tuche Daddy, actually.

He's the son, not the dad. Wilfried?

Exactly, Wilfried! That's right. Can you give us a taste?

That's a messed-up question.

Come see my shows.

Maybe one day I'll perform as Wilfried. Who knows?

Thank you so much, Margarette.

Thank you, Nicky.

Holly White!

You're kind of the mother of French drag.

You've been doing drag for twenty years.

Well, that's nice...

What was your biggest challenge on Drag Race?

It was staying current

so I could keep up with all these incredible stars around me.

Do you feel like you pulled it off? Honestly, I think so.

Are drag queens over forty still relevant?

Anyway, thank you.

You were here before me, before all of us.

In the U.S., whenever I said I was from France, people would ask me:

"Do you know Holly White?" I was offended.

But you've also taught me so much.

We're proud of you. I hope you're proud of yourself, too.

Thank you so much.

The one, the only, Fluffy Bidule!

So, Fluffy...

You created one of the most iconic looks

in the history of Drag Race France.

And in that same episode, you won the musidrag comedy challenge as the Mona

Lisa. What was it like experiencing that episode?

It felt amazing.

I loved it, obviously.

I've rarely been so blown away by a runway presentation,

by the way the look transformed,

and by the message behind it. It was truly incredible.

Thank you.

And you look gorgeous tonight. Could you stand up, please?

- Want me to give you a twirl?

- Yeah, go for it.

It’s just this old thing, really.

No big deal.

Now, Fluffy, you came into the competition pretty shy.

You had a hard time feeling comfortable

and believing in yourself throughout the competition,

and that’s okay.

After watching the season and feeling all the love from the fans,

do you understand now why we’re so proud of you?

Watching the show

actually gave me a chance

to start having conversations with my family again.

It helped us reconnect, which is honestly pretty great.

And I’m also incredibly proud

of everyone who supported me through the entire preparation process.

If they could be proud of me,

then I could be proud of myself, too.

And while I may not have been proud, during the show,

of who I was,

today, I’m proud of who I’m becoming.

La Harpie!

Now, La Harpie...

Would you call yourself the fashion queen of the season?

The fashion queen of the season?

Why not? Though I’m certainly not the only one.

Do you dream up all your own looks?

I’m lucky to have such a wonderful support system in my life,

especially my boyfriend, Thomas, who’s here tonight.

Good evening, Thomas.

And my girlfriends, who’ve been with me forever.

Quite a few of them are here tonight,

but I have to shout out Brigitte and Loar, over there.

And my sweet Vévé, my Lavande,

I love you all.

So, I think it really comes down to...

the people I have around me,

and how lucky I am to have such a great support system,

which helped me really think through and develop everything I wanted to show.

Your looks were a masterclass every single time. Incredible.

Thank you, Nicky.

And Harpie, what I love about you

is how fierce your drag is,

but then you told us you used to work at a zoo,

surrounded by animals.

So I’ve got a spicy question, because shade is part of drag:

Would you rather spend the day with animals

or with the season four cast?

Ask me again after the tour.

You know what? That was a very, very good answer.

That was Creatine Price, Mala Witz, Marguerite, Hollywite,

Fluffy Bidule, and La Harpie!

And you can come cheer them on when they go on tour this fall.

You absolutely won’t want to miss it.

Coming up, we’ll see the lip sync for the crown

between two of our finalists,

to an absolutely iconic song

by a true pop legend.

But first, the queens have one more challenge:

a series of electrifying solo performances.

After Sublyme and Azémylia,

it’s time to welcome another finalist.

- How’s it going? - A manly woman.

I’m Daisy Superbitch, a queen

of comedy and writing.

- Let’s do this. - I slowly make my entrance.

- Excellent. - I rip off my clothes.

I gently take hold of them.

I float on my back. I’m a woman of substance.

Ta-da! No more secrets.

I haven’t laughed that hard in ages.

Getting to witness that was such a gift.

Daisy Superbitch.

- You’re this week’s winner. - Watch out, girls,

Daisy has finally found her groove.

The way you brought those brushstrokes to life

- was absolutely beautiful. - Miss thing, that wig is a hot mess.

Daisy Superbitch.

Daisy Superbitch. What an incredible week.

Five stars for this establishment.

- Third week in the top. - And I don't plan on stopping now.

Everything's fabulous. I'm fabulous.

And you are... meh.

Condragulations, you're this week's winners.

My track record is nearly flawless.

It could all come crashing down... Girl... No.

...in a single second. It looks like you're not having fun,

like it's been a really stressful day

and you walked onto the runway with all that weighing on you.

It was missing a little fun.

Every week, my confidence is hanging by a thread.

For me, the start of this journey was incredibly brutal.

Really?

I'm really struggling to feel like I belong.

For me, drag was a way

to break free from this feeling of loneliness

that followed me for a long time.

And here, I still feel alone, and I don't want to feel alone.

Deep down, I still feel like a little boy

who's constantly fighting against his pain,

but I also know I have the soul of a winner.

No one is going home tonight.

Shantay, you both stay.

I think that throughout this entire competition,

I've proven how determined I am.

I was planning to release a hundred doves,

but in the end, you're getting five turkeys.

You're going to the finale.

Congratulations!

I came into this with a lot of doubts,

and I fought through them week after week

to make it here tonight.

This season has been all about alliances.

But I made it here all on my own...

I never picked sides. I got along with everyone.

I moved to Belgium thirteen years ago,

and this show has given me my first real chance

to introduce my drag to France.

I think crowning a queen from Brussels,

the heart of Europe,

would send a beautiful message.

I keep my feelings in the closet

Just don't say a word

And keep pretending

Off on my own, listing to one side

At the far end of the ship

I'm slowly going under

Mom, I'm sorry, but I won't lie to you

It's hard to erase everything that draws me in

I'm a little overwhelmed by all my desires

Will we ever see an end

To all the hate and insults?

Will anyone ever come and tell them

That we love each other, and there's nothing wrong with that?

So I won't think about ending it all

Every blow you dealt me gave me swagger

For better or for worse

Someday I'll take your hand, I know I will

Love should never be censored

There's only love that's true

Hiding who I really am behind a disguise

Trying to silence all the gossip

Words can cut so deep

Dad, don't worry, I've learned how to run

I want a family to provide for, too

Who cares who I fall asleep beside?

Will we ever see an end

To all the hate and insults?

Will anyone ever come and tell them

That we love each other, and there's nothing wrong with that?

So I won't think about ending it all

Every blow you dealt me gave me swagger

For better or for worse

Someday I'll take your hand, I know I will

Children are meant for a man and a woman.

Love should never be censored

Not for homosexuals.

There's only love that's true

Daisy Superbitch!

Judges, what do you have to say about Daisy?

I'm so impressed by what I just saw,

but it perfectly reflects your whole season.

What I loved about you was that...

every week, we saw both your incredible strength

and your vulnerability.

And every week, you showed us

that embracing both could do us all some good.

So congratulations, and thank you for that energy.

And obviously, you're absolutely hilarious.

The second you step onstage, I get insanely excited.

But I wanted to thank you and tell you how incredible you've been,

because the moment you're onstage,

drag becomes your battlefield.

You fight for everyone else, and then you fight for yourself.

That's truly remarkable, and I want to thank you

for that, of course.

You had a fantastic season.

You won both the Talent Show and the girl group challenge,

and you really shined in comedy.

How are you feeling?

I feel incredibly proud.

Honestly, I came to Drag Race France to prove myself,

to try to show France

what I was capable of, but also to make Belgian drag proud,

alongside my sisters who are here tonight.

Everyone, the queens of Drag Race Belgium are here!

Hello!

And honestly, for me, it was about trying

to be as sincere and authentic as possible.

And, well, just...

showing everyone who the fuck Daisy Superbitch is.

So, your sisters are here tonight. Good evening!

- And your mom. Hello! - She's so cute.

- Catherine Superbitch, everyone! - So, Mom,

how do you feel after Daisy's amazing season?

My Daisy, my Pierre.

I wanted to tell you how much I admire

everything you've done.

And sometimes I wonder,

"Where does he come up with all of this?"

- So are we. - That is so not me.

And I wanted to tell you again

that no matter what happens,

I love you, and I always will.

Forever and ever!

Mom,

while I'm here in front of all of France,

I want to thank you for everything you've done.

You brought me into this world, but if I'm alive today,

it's thanks to you, everything you've given me, and your support.

Please, can we all stand up for Catherine Superbitch?

Thank you, Mama Superbitch.

Daisy, I have one last question.

What would you say to little Pierre?

First, I'd tell him, "You're so cute.

And already such a diva."

But most of all, I'd tell him, "Hang in there."

Because you're going to experience some intense emotions,

and you'll have to face certain feelings...

Mainly three that will stay with you your whole life.

A feeling of sadness,

a feeling of loneliness,

and a feeling of shame.

But here's what I want to tell you...

Fuck it.

You'll beat that sadness with your love of life.

You're funny, you love to laugh, and you love people.

Loneliness? You're not alone.

You have a wonderful family, friends who are there for you, and...

I want to thank them again for supporting you every single day.

They believe in you.

And that feeling of shame?

Why?

Because when it comes down to it,

you fight every day to be...

To live as authentically and honestly as possible,

and you're doing it well. I'm proud of us,

I love us,

and that's it.

My friends,

I think everyone at the Grand Rex, across France,

and around the world joins me

in saying we love you, too.

Thank you, Daisy.

There's one solo performance left

before we find out who'll face off in a lip sync

for the crown.

Bring out my final finalist!

Oh my God, how horrifying!

All these people who aren't me.

I'm Lana Cotta, and I'm twenty-two.

- I'm the queen of burlesque, darling.

- - Hurricane Lana is here! - With thunder in her voice!

You've got incredible energy. You're a total firecracker.

You've got that fire.

That much talent in such a tiny body is annoying.

You're staying with us...

- Leave the stage. - I spent two weeks outside the top.

So now I'm going all out.

Who stole, stole our Jojo?

Who stole the Mona Lisa?

You really made things harder for yourself.

When you come onstage wearing enormous sunglasses,

you're hiding forty percent of your expressions from us.

Two queens remain onstage.

And I'm stepping out of the shadows

I know what I want

Lana Cotta, shantay, you stay.

I'm in...

competition mode.

- I'm ready to throw down!

- - France's favorite singer, - - Céline Dion, is here for Snatch Game.

- Good evening, Nicky. How are you?

You're a true comedy queen.

Where I'm from, we say “shut it down.”

- You shut it down, darling.

- - Lana Cotta. - - You're this week's winner.

- Congratulations!

My first win,

and it's Snatch Game!

They can see I'm a formidable opponent,

- even though I'm only five foot six.

- You never back down, and you're funny...

You're glamorous, you know how to do your makeup,

without taking yourself too seriously.

You know how to push yourself at just twenty-two.

I had to grow up really fast

because I started working in pastry at fifteen,

but it's a brutal industry

for queer people and women.

You're constantly being humiliated,

and it can quickly turn into physical violence.

I've had bleach thrown on me.

I've been burned with a hot iron.

,I never talked about it.

- ,That explains - her “maturity beyond her years.”

Drag is what helped me make it through.

“Don't forget the slaps, the setbacks,

the sacrifices, the meals you skipped

“to afford a pair of heels or a dance class

“that made you hungry enough to crush it.”

There! That one's for Thomas Jolly.

,If you've got a part for me, hit me up. I adore you.

,She won me over right away!

Lana Cotta, condragulations!

You're this week's winner.

You're going to the finale!

When I got here, I thought I was too immature for this competition,

and now I don't think I'll ever grow up.

This is my moment. I've been waiting for it.

And it's finally here.

Wearing this crown means representing

French drag, both in France and around the world.

,It's a huge responsibility, and I'm ready to take it on. ,Get ready.

,It's gonna be insane. , Shit's about to go down!

The night lights up in Paris

I wanna dance in the dark

You say, “I love you,” and you want

To start early and come home late

I've got so much music in my head

Baby, baby says he's in love

I don't do drama, I just party

Baby, give me a kiss, let's fly away

Once for the taste, twice if you're sweet

I don't like it gentle, baby

I like it when we do it a lot

A third time, just to see

I'll save a little for tonight

I don't like it gentle, baby

I like it when we do it a lot

You're sexy when you laugh

I like it when you're mad

I stay classy and throw shade

I've got so much music in my head

Baby, baby says he's in love

I don't do drama, I just party

Baby, give me a kiss, let's fly away

Place de Clichy after midnight

Make me dream when you make me dance

France's favorite dessert: Lana Cotta!

Judges, what did you think of Lana tonight?

That was a royal serve, just like everything you've done all season!

Thank you for bringing that energy.

Thank you so, so much.

You're fearless, you'll mix anything and everything together.

And that's what makes you so brilliant.

Burlesque, dance, gender, you do it all.

You've taken us on a journey with you all season,

all the way back to your teenage years, which were basically yesterday.

What you've given us has been truly extraordinary.

Thank you for all that energy and for everything you've brought this season.

Honestly, it was a lot,

just like that song,

so much creativity, so many references,

and so much freedom.

And there are so many exciting things ahead for you, Lana.

Lana, you've had an incredible season.

You won Snatch Game.

We're sending Céline all our love.

And you won the Roast!

Which challenge was your favorite?

Out of those two?

Just don't say the Rusical.

I'm a woman who's all about the voice, all about the throat,

so any chance to put my throat to good use on Drag Race is a real pleasure.

Do you have a message for Céline Dion and all our viewers in Quebec?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

I got messages from people in Quebec

saying I hadn't butchered it too badly,

so Quebec, I love you. I'm just waiting for that invitation.

I love you!

You showed us that you can have fun playing with norms and conventions

through your boylesque performances.

Have you always loved breaking free from gender through drag?

To me, gender

is something other people worry about.

It still carries a stigma for me,

so no, it's just makeup.

You take every color in the palette,

slap them all on yourself,

and life becomes colorful, so wow.

Isabelle Adjani?

Speaking of the people you love,

there's your drag mother, your drag sister,

and your cousin Lola. , Loulou!

Good evening!

What's it like being the cousin of a Drag Race France finalist?

Well, it's business as usual, I guess.

, You're definitely from the same family. , Yeah, yeah.

Bitches don't make pussies, as they say.

Why do you think Lana should win tonight?

For her cute little ass, obviously...

For a billion reasons.

For everything she accomplished before Drag Race,

and everything she's done on Drag Race.

For the vulnerability you were able to show,

which was so good to see.

For your professionalism and...

for your art in general, and for who you are. That's it.

And for you, sweetheart!

, Thank you, Lola! , Thank you.

Lana, I have one last question for you.

What would you say to little Robin?

Ow, ow, ow...

Nothing but trouble.

Aw, sweetie!

Well...

Nah, I'm just kidding.

Well, I see sailor stripes are still your go-to.

I don't have anything to tell him, because he's gonna go through hell,

but it'll make him stronger and eventually get him onto an incredible stage

one night in August.

And...

don't forget to tell your mom you love her when you're fifteen.

That's all.

Please give him a huge round of applause!

And that's it, all our finalists have performed their solos.

Wanna find out who's lip-syncing for the crown?

I'll tell you in just a minute,

once I slip into something a little more fitting for the occasion.

In the meantime, let's relive the season's most emotional moments.

,Are you scared? ,A little.

,A little? What are you scared of? ,Singing off-key.

She's such a cutie.

I barely even spoke back then, so some people

are gonna be shocked.

They still picture me as the person who was too scared to speak up

at work, in class, or pretty much anywhere.

My dad knows I do drag...

but we don't talk much.

And life got in the way, so we drifted apart.

I know he's proud of me,

but I can't wait for him to finally see what I do,

because he's never had the chance to come see me perform.

,I'm so glad I get to do it here.

,Are you proud of yourself, Fluffy?

That's a tough question.

It's really important. Are you proud of yourself?

I was bullied at school.

I didn't tell my parents because...

The hardest part was that when I got home...

it wasn't over.

I had a father who was...

extremely violent.

I got beaten. A lot.

Basically, I'd leave for school in the morning with one fear...

and come home at night to another.

"I'm proud of myself."

, "I'm proud of myself."

, You close your eyes when you say it.

, I can't do it. , Well, I'm proud of you.

How are you supposed to be proud when you grow up like that?

It completely destroyed my self-confidence.

Please, I'm begging you, be proud of yourselves.

Can I hear you say, "I'm proud of myself"?

Three, four...

I'm proud of myself!

I was always afraid I'd be the bland one...

on French TV.

Are you out of your mind?

Oh, baby...

"Remember, a year ago, the future didn't look nearly as bright.

"You'd been through hard times, but this one was dark...

"so dark that you considered the worst.

"Why keep going when you feel alone and isolated?"

Breathe, baby.

"Why keep going when it feels like there's no future ahead of you?

"But there's one feeling more powerful than all the others: trust.

"I have incredible faith in us.

"No matter what happens, we'll always find a way to get back up."

We're gonna be okay.

, Everyone's proud. , Yes!

Now I'm talking to you as your friend.

It hasn't been easy, but...

you came here and told your story.

You're going to keep inspiring millions of people.

, And no one's as beautiful as you. ,

This is so intense, like...

It’s been quite an experience, and...

I can’t thank the universe enough for giving me this opportunity.

And for my new sisters.

I love every single one of you.

Beautiful and proud!

In just a moment, I’ll reveal which two queens made it to the finale

and will battle it out in a legendary lipsync

for the crown.

One of them will be crowned the new queen of French drag.

But first, bring back all my queens!

What an incredible cast!

They’re all superstars.

And you’ll get to see every one of them live onstage

in our brand-new tour, kicking off in just a few days

at the Casino de Paris.

This year’s show was created by a superstar of stage direction,

a talent the whole world wishes it had: Thomas Jolly.

And let me tell you, everybody,

this show is absolutely insane!

We’re touring all across France, so come out and see us!

Who’s coming?

Le Grand Rex, did you love my queens?

They’re talented, they’re gorgeous,

they’re fierce, and they’re just a little shady...

Oh, come on, girls. We all watched the season.

But in this sea of shade, one queen swam against the current

and stood out for being especially congenial.

That’s right! It’s a tradition.

The queens of this season have voted for their Miss Congeniality.

And to help us celebrate her,

please welcome season three’s Miss Congeniality, Norma Bell!

Good evening, Norma. It’s so great to see you.

Le Grand Rex, are you happy to see her?

- Have you managed to stay congenial since your season?

- - Well, I’ve certainly tried my best. - I hope I’ve lived up to the title.

That’s already such a congenial answer,

so I think that’s a yes.

Everyone, it’s time to present the sash

to our new Miss Congeniality.

Would you do the honors?

The Miss Congeniality of Drag Race France season four is...

Margarette!

Margarette, congratulations!

So, Margarette, would you have voted for yourself?

I swear on my mother’s life, no.

I don’t think there are any right or wrong answers.

Who do you get your congeniality from?

Honestly, from everyone around me.

It’s a cliché and totally earnest answer,

but from my family, my loved ones, my friends,

my drag sisters, mama, okurr, and most of all...

And most of all, from my two beloved drag sisters,

Esther and Bichette, who are right here.

Everybody, give it up for season four's Miss Congeniality, Margarette!

Thank you, ladies. You may leave the stage.

Let's hear it for them!

Not my finalists, though!

You four are staying right here with me.

Azémylia, Daisy Superbitch, Lana Cotta, and Sublyme.

In just a moment, two of you will go head-to-head

for the crown.

I've made my decision.

The two queens moving forward in the competition are...

Lana Cotta...

and...

Daisy Superbitch!

You may go get changed.

Everybody,

make some noise for these icons, Sublyme...

and Azémylia!

I want you both to know

that this finale has been absolutely wild.

Sublyme, thank you for all your incredible looks,

for your passion, and for showing us your vulnerable side.

Azémylia, thank you for bringing that fire

and that fierce competitive drive.

You're a winner, baby.

You're the best dancer Drag Race France has ever seen.

Thank you for your discipline and your commitment to excellence.

You should be so proud of yourself.

Please give them a huge round of applause!

You may leave the stage. We love you!

Coming up, Lana Cotta and Daisy Superbitch

will face off in an iconic lip sync

to one of the biggest pop hits of all time.

Along with the title of the new queen of French drag,

the winner of season four will also walk away with this.

YParis, the unisex, piercing-free jewelry brand

with a commitment to sustainability,

is proud to give our future queen this legendary crown.

Enchantée By Kam Hugh is giving the winner

a full year's supply of makeup to unleash her creativity

and shine with total freedom, both onstage and in everyday life.

This year's winning queen will receive a year's worth of Cut By Fred products

to keep every hair perfectly under control

throughout her reign.

The winner will receive a year's worth of Kiehl's skincare

for glowing skin, from backstage to under the spotlights.

We're here together on France Télévisions

for the grand finale of Drag Race France!

Are you ready for the final lip sync of the season, Grand Rex?

Bring back my queens!

Lana Cotta, Daisy Superbitch!

You took on every challenge this season,

one by one, all the way to the final lip sync.

Now's the time to give it everything you've got.

Are you ready?

Two queens remain onstage.

My dear queens, it's now...

or never.

This is your last chance to impress us

and win the crown of Drag Race France

with a lip sync that's...

Leg... en... dary!

To Madonna's “Hung Up.”

Good luck, and don't fuck it up.

Bravo, my queens!

Make some noise for them, Grand Rex!

I've made my decision.

Bring back all my queens.

To crown our queen,

please welcome the winner of Drag Race France season three, Le Filip!

Good evening, Le Filip. Good evening, my angel. How are you?

I'm good. How about you? You look gorgeous.

Gorgeous!

Did you try to cook some pasta?

No, I was baking the crown.

I was preheating it for the girls.

,It's gotta be hot. ,How are you, my queen?

I'm doing so incredibly well.

I've done so many things.

These two years of reigning have been scorching hot for me.

I opened an agency

that represents a ton of iconic French talent.

How many Drag Race queens do you represent?

Three Drag Race France winners.

And...

I'm touring with my show,

I'm at a loss for words.

,And I'm writing a book, so yeah.

- ,Well, congrats on all of it. - We're so, so proud of you, Le Filip.

Thank you, Nicky, and thank you all!

You were fabulous.

And congratulations to all our queens from the past four seasons

who make French drag shine onstage

and all around the world.

A huge round of applause, and thank you to France Télévisions too.

Thank you for letting us share our art,

our values, our stories, and the causes we fight for

with millions of people.

And that's incredibly precious.

Let's give them a round of applause.

I don't know about you, Grand Rex,

but I think it's time to crown our new queen.

Oh, Pit Crew...

Are those rubies?

,No, sapphires, sorry. ,It's not for you.

Which of Lana Cotta or Daisy Superbitch

will win the crown

and represent the excellence of French drag

all around the world?

The winner of Drag Race France season four is...

Lana Cotta!

The new reigning queen of French drag, Lana Cotta!

Any words, my queen?

Mom, you're the most beautiful! I love you!

Long live love!

The stage is yours.

My queens, everybody,

love yourselves just as you are, and life will always be a...

- Party! - Music!
