The Miss France competition has just crowned its newest winner, and she is unlike any other before her. At the age of 34, Angélique Angarni-Filopon, from the beautiful French Caribbean island of Martinique, has taken home the coveted title. This is a significant moment, as it marks the first time in the competition's history that an older woman has been able to participate and win.
The rule change that allowed women over the age of 24 to compete was a game-changer for Angarni-Filopon and many other women who had previously been excluded from the pageant. As a flight attendant, she had always dreamed of competing, but the old rules had limited the type of participants allowed. However, with this new inclusive regulation, Angarni-Filopon saw her chance and she took it.
Before this change, the Miss France competition had strict rules that only allowed unmarried women under the age of 24 to compete. This meant that women like Angarni-Filopon, who had previously participated at the age of 20 but had been disqualified due to her age, now had a second chance at the crown. In an emotional speech, she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to represent her home and all the women who were once told that it was too late for them to compete.
The organizers of the competition also shared their reasoning behind this new rule. They explained that when the pageant first started in 1920, women over the age of 24 were seen as too old to be considered symbols of beauty. However, times have changed and the Miss France competition is now embracing diversity and celebrating women of all ages and backgrounds.
This was evident in this year's contestants, who were a diverse mix of successful women, including doctors and dentists, showcasing not only their physical beauty but also their talents and intelligence. In the traditional rounds of pageantry, they wowed the judges with their swimwear, regional costumes, and performances in various musical genres.
But it was Angarni-Filopon who ultimately stole the show and won the crown. As the new Miss France, she will receive a generous salary from the Miss France firm and will also have the opportunity to live in a luxurious Parisian apartment, courtesy of her sponsors.
But her victory goes beyond just her age and success in the competition. Angarni-Filopon is also a proud representative of her home, Martinique, and her crowning is a win for diversity and inclusivity. This is a clear sign that the Miss France competition is entering a new era, one that celebrates women of all ages and backgrounds, and recognizes that beauty knows no bounds. This is a powerful moment for all women, and it is a win for all strides of diversity.
