Rio de Janeiro Carnival figure appointments
Overview
Prominent figures are securing roles within Rio de Janeiro samba schools ahead of the 2027 Carnival. Lore Improta, a musa for Unidos da Viradouro, has expressed interest in eventually becoming the school’s queen and is learning the tamborim to deepen her community involvement. At Imperatriz Leopoldinense, Agnes Pimentel has been promoted to musa for 2027 and is serving as an ambassador for the Instituto Imperatriz.
Actress Paolla Oliveira has been named the new ‘rainha de bateria’ (drum queen) for Imperatriz Leopoldinense, marking her return to the Rio de Janeiro parade circuit. On October 16, Oliveira was officially crowned during the ‘CarnaPaolla’ celebration at the school's headquarters in Ramos. The ceremony included musical performances by Jorge Aragão, Xande de Pilares, and Iza, the latter of whom presented the crown and sash to Oliveira. During the transition, Oliveira and Iza shared a brief kiss, which Iza described as a “spontaneous expression of their friendship and intimacy.”
The 44-year-old actress, who previously served as the drum queen for Grande Rio for several years, noted that while returning to her former school was considered, the position was already filled when she decided to join Imperatriz. Oliveira also addressed the departure of influencer Virginia Fonseca from Grande Rio, stating she had encouraged Fonseca to continue despite the challenges of the role. In a related development, singer Anitta has been announced as the new queen for Acadêmicos da Grande Rio, following Fonseca's departure in August.
Following her coronation, Oliveira has begun preparations for the 2027 season, including participating in her first street rehearsal in the Ramos neighborhood. Regarding her personal life, Oliveira addressed social media speculation by stating she is currently single and prefers to keep her private life reserved.
