\n\tSPOILER ALERT: This post contains details of the winner of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> Season 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tA new queen was crowned during the season finale of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> Season 18 on MTV.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe three finalists competing for the crown and the title of America\u2019s Next Drag Superstar were Darlene Mitchell, Myki Meeks, and Nino Coco.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter weeks of competition, the winning drag queen took home the $200,000 grand prize courtesy of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race Match Queen, a custom crown and scepter from Fierce Drag Jewels, and a year\u2019s supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics, marking the franchise\u2019s first\u2011ever official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly one of the three finalists would win the competition, and Myki Meeks took the crown.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn second place was Nini Coco, who received a $25,000 cash tip, and finalist Darlene Mitchell was awarded $10,000 for her performance throughout the season.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Queens debuted original solo performances created in collaboration with composer Leland. After Myki Meeks and Nini Coco emerged as the final two, the crown came down to an ultimate lip sync to \u201cEvery Girl You\u2019ve Ever Loved\u201d (feat. Naomi Campbell) from Miley Cyrus\u2019s album Something Beautiful, with RuPaul ultimately crowning Myki Meeks as the Season 18 champion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAfter a season of extraordinary charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent, it is my pleasure to crown Myki Meeks the champion of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race season 18! From the beginning, Myki has demonstrated the true essence of a superstar. I\u2019m excited to experience more of her special brand of joy, laughter and love throughout her brilliant career,\u201d said RuPaul.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe finale also saw Miley Cyrus be honored with the Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award, the fourth recipient of the accolade following Bob Mackie, Elvira, and Liza Minnelli.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 11 of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race All Stars<\/em> will premiere on Friday, May 8, exclusively on Paramount+.<\/p>\n
