The Vivienne

The Vivienne chose her name because she was known for wearing Vivienne Westwood clothing, adding the definite article to make it unique.[6] She has worked in many Liverpool bars, including Superstar Boudoir, GBar and Heaven.[7] In May 2015, she was crowned the UK Ambassador of RuPaul's Drag Race.[3]

On 21 August 2019, Vivienne was announced as one of the ten contestants to be competing in the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.[8] In September 2019, she participated in Jag Race, a racing competition in collaboration with Jaguar Cars, and raced for Sahir House, a charity based in her hometown of Liverpool that provides a space in which people can speak freely without fear of prejudice, stigma, abuse or exploitation in relation to HIV.[9] In November 2019, she was crowned the first winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.[3] In November to December 2019, Vivienne, alongside the cast of the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK embarked on a tour hosted by Drag Race alum Alyssa Edwards.[10]

In December 2019, The Vivienne alongside fellow RuPaul's Drag Race UK contestant Baga Chipz began starring in Morning T&T on WOW Presents Plus.[11] The show saw The Vivienne and Baga reprise their Snatch Game impersonations of Donald Trump and Margaret Thatcher respectively, to host a fictional television news show, and consisted of six episodes as of January 2020.[12] At DragCon UK in January 2020 an additional episode was filmed with The Vivienne and Baga appearing as themselves.[13] Guests on the web series included fellow Drag Race UK alumni Sum Ting Wong as Queen Elizabeth II and Cheryl Hole as Gemma Collins.[14][15]

In March 2020, World of Wonder announced six-part series The Vivienne Takes on Hollywood, documenting The Vivienne travelling to Los Angeles in order to make a music video. The show premiered on BBC Three on 9 April, and simultaneously started streaming on WOW Presents Plus.[16][17] The same month, The Vivienne, once again alongside Baga Chipz, started presenting the UK version of I Like to Watch, a web series produced by Netflix in which they humourously review Netflix programming.[18] She has since appeared on Celebrity Juice.

In July 2020, The Vivienne voiced as Donald Trump in the BBC Three documentary Trump in Tweets.[19]

The Vivienne was one of the four competitors who appeared in the special Christmas edition of The Great British Sewing Bee that was transmitted on New Year's Eve 2020 on BBC 1. Her fellow competitors in the programme were Sabrina Grant, Lesley Joseph and Sally Phillips.

Williams was married in 2019.[20][21]
