A faux queen — also called a bio queen or femme queen — is a cisgender woman who performs in drag as an exaggerated, theatrical version of femininity, much like drag queens typically do. Far from a contradiction, faux queens are a celebrated and creative corner of drag culture. They bring their own artistry to the form, often playing with what it means to perform gender when you already present as the gender being amplified. Respected and fierce.
The faux queen absolutely stole the show with a look so over-the-top it made the whole audience gasp.
