1 / 11 Chevron Chevron Photo: Guillaume Thomas Outside of the Iris van Herpen show that was so incredible it totally destroyed me. Catching some much-needed shade—throwing a bit as well.

Even when Violet Chachki is off-duty, she manages to turn mundane moments into impossibly glamorous occasions—her recent impromptu idyllic French garden photo shoot is a case in point. So if she’s going to compose a proper photo diary, you’d better expect something even more dramatic.

Chachki’s collection of snapshots from her experience at Paris Couture Week doesn’t disappoint: The drag superstar and burlesque dancer went to shows like Iris van Herpen, Viktor & Rolf, and Jean Paul Gaultier in a number of stunning ensembles, whether it be a leather corset, a Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown that she matched to her deep blue hair, or a demure pale pink skirt that she livened up with a semi-sheer hot pink top. She took the whirlwind week in stride, even taking some time to pose with her frequent Fashion Week partner in crime Casey Spooner, along with artists like Caroline Polachek and Honey Dijon. There’s perhaps no one better suited for the throwback glamour of Paris Couture Week than Chachki—see for yourself and look at her exclusive photo diary above.
