For the season finale, The It Girl Podcast transforms into a full-blown awards show with a special episode celebrating the inaugural It Girl Awards — a chaotic, heartfelt, and highly opinionated tribute to the people, moments, and cultural obsessions that shaped the year.

Every category was born organically from conversations on the podcast, evolving into a sprawling awards universe that spans pop culture, drag, politics, media, music, and the local LA nightlife ecosystem. These aren’t industry awards — they’re It Girl canon.

Across the episode, we honor:

✨ The figures who dominated discourse — from undeniable It Girls to Niche Girls, ones who slipped away too soon, and those who found themselves… controversially discussed
✨ Drag artists across every lane — queens, kings, parents, pioneers, producers, and rising stars who carried the scene night after night
✨ Cultural moments in film, television, comedy, and performance that made us feel something — whether that was joy, obsession, or full-body cringe
✨ Political figures, public scandals, and media moments that seeped into our timelines whether we asked for them or not
✨ The music that defined the year — from pop supremacy and viral anthems to albums and performances that lived rent-free in our heads
✨ And the local heroes — venues, parties, photographers, gogo dancers, and nightlife staples that keep the culture alive on the ground

Nominees range from global icons to deeply niche favorites, from household names to community legends — all without revealing who takes home the titles. The joy is in the celebration, the recognition, and the shared language built over a season of listening together.

This finale is less about winners and more about witnessing the culture as it actually exists — messy, interconnected, and shaped by conversation.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in, debated, voted, screenshotted, and cared this season. The It Girl Awards are the capstone, not the conclusion.

Big announcements coming soon. Same delusion. Next season.
