Getting Ready With Shangela: Glamour, Gaga, and the 'A Star Is Born' Premiere

Shangela Laquifa Wadley is everything. But, we don't really need to remind you of that, do we? We instantly fell in love with her when she first sashayed into our lives during season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race--and that adoration has only exploded since with the box gag that keeps on giving and her brilliant performance on the third season of All Stars. Now, she's snatching our wigs as she catapults drag to the mainstream world again with her role as Lady Gaga's drag mother in A Star Is Born, which hits theaters on October 5.

In honor of the film, the superstar took over our Instagram (follow along now!) as she got ready for the U.K. premiere. Here, we compiled a selection of snaps from the event, which includes everything from her getting ready for the carpet to hanging out with Gaga and her mom at the after party.
