The Guadeloupean Indira Ampiot cedes her crown of Miss France to Eve Gilles, Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Réunionnaise through her mother, at the end of a 3.5 hour evening, Saturday December 16, at the zenith of Dijon. Among the three runners-up, we note the presence of Miss Guyana, ranked first runner-up, and Miss Guadeloupe, who won third place.
There was no handover from one Ultramarine to another… Well, not strictly speaking. The new Miss France 2024 is in fact Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Eve Gilles, of Reunionese origin through her mother!
She is surrounded by Ultramarines because among her runners-up, there is Miss Guyana, Audrey Ho-Wen-Tsaïcame in second place, and Miss Guadeloupe, Jalylane Maës, arriving in 4th place. The artificial intelligence which predicted these two Misses in the top 5 was right, well almost seen that the software had predicted the victory of Miss Côte d’Azur.
These beauty queens stood out during the various musical tables, such as those dedicated to flamenco or Motown, because the theme of the election was “the music box”.
They also undoubtedly convinced with their answers to the questions asked by several former Miss France including the Polynesian Mareva Galanter.
When asked about her distinctive character trait, Miss Guyana responded that she was a “person.”quite warm […]positive, energetic“Qualities according to her.”required” for Miss France, whose role is “to embody a cause” but not only.
Miss Guadeloupe had to explain how she thought she represented the diversity of women. It’s necessary “accept every woman as they are, with shapes, short, long, curly, frizzy hair“, she asserted.
The two young women each distinguished themselves in their own way in the show: Miss Guyana from the introduction by being in the center on the front line, before Miss France 2023 appeared, Indira Ampiotseated in a suspended heart and gently lowered to the ground.
Miss Guadeloupe, too, but for less noble reasons: during the 2nd scene with Latin rhythms, Jalylane Maës slipped while kneeling at the end of a choreography and fell backwards, hitting Miss Tahiti who then pushed the Guadeloupean’s hand away. A moment spotted and immediately extracted on social networks:
The imbalance obviously penalized no one since among the names of the 15 semi-finalists, preselected by a jury during the previous days, there was the Polynesian Ravahere Silloux and Guadeloupe Jalylane Maësas well as the Guyanese Audrey Ho-Wen-Tsaï.
In the process, each gave a one-minute speech to introduce themselves. Ravahere Silloux said she was born just after the 98 World Cup: “In euphoria, my father wanted to call me France.” But her mother had the last word, naming her Ravahere, “the beauty of love” in Tahitian. She claimed to be a “person engaged and enriched by diversity“. “I want to be the voices of our beautiful France. I wish you would call me France“, she concluded.
In a rather short speech, Miss Guyana, Audrey Ho-Wen-Tsaï, maintained that the Miss France adventure had made her “more confident and more motivated“. “I wish to embody […] this ambassador in whom we recognize ourselves, who raises awareness and inspires young people“, she insisted.
“Being on this Miss France stage is a big victory for me“, declared Miss Guadeloupe, Jalylane Maës, introducing herself as “solar” et “bold“. She returned to the importance for her of representing young people and promoting their professional integration, themes that she addressed in her presentation video. “Don’t we say that success was the child of audacity? So let’s take this journey together“, she concluded.
Overall, the Misses from Overseas did not have to be ashamed of their performance, during this election presented by Jean-Pierre Foucault and the Guadeloupean Cindy Fabre, Miss France 2005 and national director of the competition for a year.
Of the 30 candidates present at the start, seven represented our territories: Tahiti, New Caledonia, Reunion, Mayotte, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Guyana.
The Martinican Chléo Modestine, the Mahoran Houdayifa Chibaco, the Caledonian Emma Grousset and the Reunionese Mélanie Odules were therefore eliminated. A “Hello in Reunion” was, however, made by another semi-finalist, Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais Eve Gilles, who made a point of recalling her origins. She also stood out for her hairstyle because she was the first candidate to have short hair.
She obviously knew how to seduce the public, whose votes counted at 50%, and the jury of the evening whose vote represented the other half. A jury which was for the first time 100% female: chaired by the former director of the Miss France committee, Sylvie Tellier, it was composed of:
- the actress Stéfi Celma,
- former model and presenter Adriana Karembeu
- the singer Nolwenn Leroy
- pastry chef Nina Métayer
- boxer Estelle Mossely
- comedian Élodie Poux.
- Moving tribute to Geneviève de Fontenay
During the evening, a tribute was paid to Geneviève de Fontenay, who died last August. A large number of former misses, all dressed in white and black, arrived two by two before lining up on the stage steps without saying a word.
Among them: Guadeloupe women Corinne Coman (Miss France 2003), Cindy Fabre visibly moved, Clemence Botino (Miss France 2020), the Guyanese born in Martinique Alicia Aylies (Miss France 2017) and of course Indira Ampiot.
