Introducing our judges...
Celebrity Judge, Frida Look-Alike Contest
Few performers embody New Orleans nightlife with the boldness, glamour, and heart of Giselle Trivianni. A crowned queen and a fixture of the city's stage for over a decade, she has earned some of the most coveted titles in Louisiana drag, from Drag On Winner in 2016, to Miss Gay Northshore Louisiana USofA in 2018, to the beloved Miss New Orleans Pride in 2019. From the Pride parade route through the Marigny to drag brunches along the Mississippi, Giselle has spent years turning every room she enters into a celebration.
She brings to Frida Fest exactly what Las Fridas honors most, the courage to be fully, unapologetically yourself. Frida Kahlo painted her truth. Giselle performs hers. That is why we could think of no one better to help crown this year's Frida.
We are proud, and truly thrilled, to welcome her to the judges' table.
