VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Carson Kressley Reveals Why Nymphia Wind Won ‘Drag Race’ This Season, His Favorite ‘RuPaul’ Moment

TV Personality Cason Kressley revealed his favorite RuPaul’s Drag Race moment in his new uInterview.

“We just crowned our season 16 winner, Nymphia Wind,” Kressley dished. “So many of the contestants are a little overwhelmed by being there amidst those competitors and being judged by [RuPaul], and I think Nymphia had such a great trajectory of starting out a little slow, but I loved her fashion references, her workmanship, the looks she created were mind-blowing.”

He concluded, “By finale time, she was ready to be the winner. She’s very talented.”

Kressley also reflected on his favorite moment on the show. “When they did the Carson Kressley roast,” he said. “They were so funny. It’s like going to your own memorial, but you’re still alive because there’s a lot of great memories.”

Kressley’s career took off in 2003 when he became a prominent figure on the Bravo series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, a groundbreaking show for the LGBTQ community, where he applied expertise in fashion and style.

Kressley went on to host various television programs. He was the motivational host of the popular show How to Look Good Naked and appeared on OWN’s Carson Nation. In addition, he showcased his dancing skills as a contestant on season 13 of the hit series Dancing with the Stars.

Since 2015, Kressley has taken on the role of a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. In October 2018, Kressley reunited with his former Queer Eye colleague Thom Filicia for a new Bravo series called Get a Room with Carson & Thom. The show documented their journey together as Thom mentored Carson in interior design. Each episode featured two clients and offered a glimpse into their creative process. The series ran for one season and consisted of ten episodes.

Before his television career, Kressley worked as an independent stylist and later joined Ralph Lauren, where he contributed to menswear and corporate advertising from 1994 to 2002.
