Olga Khokhlova ((; , June 17, 1891, Nizhyn, Russian Empire, now Ukraine – February 11, 1954, Cannes, France) was a Ukrainian-Russian dancer, better known as the first wife of Pablo Picasso and the mother of his son, Paulo.
Olga wanted to be a ballerina from the time she visited France and saw Madame Shroessont perform. She became a member of the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev.
On May 18, 1917 Olga danced in Parade, on its first night at the Théâtre du Châtelet - a ballet by Sergei Diaghilev, Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau. Pablo Picasso had designed the costumes and set for this ballet. Olga then left the group, which toured South America, to stay with Picasso in Barcelona. She was introduced to his family. His mother first had been alarmed by the idea that he should marry a foreigner, so he gave her a painting which showed Olga as a Spanish girl: Olga Khokhlova in Mantilla. Later Olga returned with Picasso to Paris, where they started to live together in the Rue La Boétie.
