Daphné Bürki (born Daphné de Montmarin,[1] 2 March 1980 in Paris[2][3]) is a French television presenter, columnist, stylist, and actress. She currently appears as one of the main judges on the competition series Drag Race France.[4]

She was chosen by the Organizing Committee for the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Paralympics as “styling and costumes” director for the four Paris 2024 ceremonies, in particular the 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, with Thomas Jolly and Victor Le Masne, on July 26, 2024 which she also presented with Laurent Delahousse, live on France 2[5][6]. The "Festivité" segment containing a scene of drag queens arranged in a row along a catwalk was slammed as a mockery of Jesus Christ, by conservative politicians, the French opposition leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and Christian groups including the Roman Catholic Bishops' Conference of France.[7][8][9]
