"Sasha Colby is the kind of talent that comes around once in a generation," RuPaul said in a statement.
"She embodies all the qualities of America's Next Drag Superstar and so much more. Anetra, Luxx Noir London and Mistress Isabelle Brooks each put up an incredible fight for the crown, but in the end, Sasha proved to be unbeatable. Long may she reign!"
Colby is the second transgender performer in a row to take the title on a regular -- not all-stars -- season of the U.S edition of Drag Race.
"This goes to every trans person, past, present, and future, because we are not going anywhere," Colby said upon accepting the award.
