About
Estrella Xtravaganza is a Spanish drag performer, singer, and actress from Jerez de la Frontera. Known for her sharp wit, campy glamour, and deep Andalusian roots, she first caught the spotlight as a Top 3 finalist on season 2 of Drag Race España. Since then she has taken her act international, competing on Drag Race Down Under vs. the World and landing scripted roles in the acclaimed Vestidas de Azul. With a growing music catalog and a devoted Instagram following of over 148,000, Estrella keeps building a career that mixes humor, polish, and a genuine love for Spanish culture.
Early Life & Background
Fernando Carretero Vega grew up in Jerez de la Frontera, a city in southern Spain known for its flamenco heritage and sherry production. That Andalusian backdrop shaped the extravagant, theatrical style she would later bring to drag. Before stepping into the werk room, Estrella trained in journalism and comedy, skills that show up in her sharp banter and quick wit. Her drag name, Xtravaganza, signals the over-the-top aesthetic she embraces, and early on she built a presence through live performances and social media. She launched a YouTube channel where she posted music and collaborations, including a track with Mariana Stars called Universo Drag. Those early creative moves laid the groundwork for her breakout moment when she was cast on Drag Race España season 2.
Career Growth
Estrella's big break came in 2022 when she competed on Drag Race España season 2. Her mix of humor and polish took her all the way to the finals, finishing in the Top 3 behind winner Sharonne. That run opened doors fast. Later that year she joined Reinas al Rescate, a reality series where she, Pupi Poisson, and Sharonne traveled to small Spanish towns to spotlight LGTBIQ+ stories. In 2023 she landed a role in Vestidas de Azul, a spin-off of the hit Veneno universe created by Los Javis, marking her move into scripted television. She also performed in the live stage show El Gran Hotel de las Reinas in Vigo in October 2024. Then came the international call: in July 2025 she entered the werk room on Drag Race Down Under vs. the World, representing Spain on a global stage. She has also appeared in the short film CCCC Stories and the feature Bestiario.
