Paloma

Behind Queen Paloma, the stunning winner of Drag Race France who captivated audiences with her unforgettable impressions and cosmic performances during the show’s first season, stands Hugo Bardin.

A native of Clermont-Ferrand and an alumnus of the prestigious Cours Florent, Bardin is a multifaceted artist: actor, director, filmmaker, costume designer, stylist, and wig maker. At just 32 years old, he has already directed a feature film, Neiges d’automne, a contemporary adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, as well as a short film named after his drag persona.

Since the fall of 2023, Hugo Bardin, embodying Paloma, has been touring France with PluriElles, a solo stage show that blends delightfully cheeky humor with sharp wit. Through this performance, he continues to showcase his boundless creativity and charm, earning acclaim far beyond the drag community.
