After a long deliberation, Ru announced that Symone was the winner of season 13 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. Looking stunning in a sparkling yellow fringe dress with streamers emerging from the top of her massive updo, Symone accepted the crown and scepter from season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall. “I told y’all not to let the smooth taste fool you!” she exclaimed.
