About

Violet Chachki (born Paul Jason Dardo, Atlanta, 1992) is an American drag queen, burlesque and aerial performer, model, and recording artist who won season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2015. Her work sits at the crossroads of vintage glamour, fetish fashion, and circus-level acrobatics, earning her campaigns for Prada, Moschino, and Jean Paul Gaultier alongside Vogue covers. In 2024 she became the first male-bodied performer to headline a residency at the legendary Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris, and in 2025 she released her debut solo album and co-headlined the 50-city Knockout Tour across North America with fellow Drag Race star Gottmik.
