Oldest Miss France ever takes beauty contest crown after rule change A 34-year-old flight attendant from the French Caribbean island of Martinique has become the oldest contestant to win the Miss France beauty contest, according to French media reports.
Angélique Angarni-Filopon was crowned Miss France 2025 after the rules were changed in 2022 to allow women aged over 24 to take part, along with married women and mothers.
Accepting the award after the final in the western city of Poitiers on Saturday, she said she was representing "Martinique, its diaspora as well as all the women who were once told that it was too late", France24 said on its website.
She said she didn't expect to win because "at each of the regional elections, I said to myself, 'oh, yeah they [other competitors] are very beautiful', and I saw victory moving away.
In another video posted by Paris Match magazine, she was filmed posing on a metro train in a gold dress and near the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
