Cara Melle isn’t just a drag queen—she’s the moment. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, this Black trans goddess packed her bags, left the States, and took her talents straight to London, where she’s been eating up the scene ever since. And trust—she did not come to play.

In 2023, she made HERstory as the first Black trans woman to compete on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. From day 1, she was serving face, body, and untouchable stage presence. And when Snatch Game rolled around? Miss Melle gave us a Dionne Warwick that had the dolls gagged.

But Cara’s not just about looking sickening on TV—she’s out here conquering the big screen, too. In 2024, she starred in Tubi’s horror-comedy Slay alongside fellow Drag Race icons Crystal Methyd, Heidi N Closet, and Trinity the Tuck.

Cara Melle is headlining the Oslo Drag Festival on May 30th, with House of Mannington in The Black Excellence Cabaret. This is a show you don’t wanna miss. Cuz Cara Melle is that girl. Keep up, or get left behind.
