The Vivienne's clever way of creating name and moving connection to Vivienne Westwood The Vivienne had a moving reason behind creating their drag name.
The star, whose real name was James Lee Williams found fame back in 2015 as the UK Drag Ambassador for the American series of Ru Paul's Drag Race.
Speaking previously, The Vivienne revealed their touching tribute to the late fashion designer Vivienne Westwood who died aged 81 back in December 2022.
So when I started doing drag it was a natural progression, but I didn’t want one of those cheap, nasty, slutty drag names so I thought of 'The Vivienne' and here she is, there's only one of them.".
The RuPaul's Drag Race UK legend tragically died aged just 32 over the weekend, with their close friend and publicist Simon Jones confirming the news.
