Cindy Fabre, new director of the Miss France Committee, intends to continue with the modernization of the famous beauty pageant and says she is in favor of it in an interview with the Parisian to change the rules.
“Society is changing and fortunately we are changing with it, to maintain that image of modernity! All international competitions are also changing, especially age-wise, so if we don’t adapt, we will be at a disadvantage,” she says.
The new director adds, especially in regard to the inclusion of transgender people in the contest: “For transgender people it is a non-subject. You have to be a woman in marital status, the rest is personal, it does not look like no one”. .”
As for the obligation to be single to participate in the contest, Cindy Fabre says that “there have always been Misses who have had friends but hid them.”
An advisory role
Sylvie Tellier will leave the organization of the competition after 17 years in it. However, she will retain an advisory role until December and she will host the ceremony for the last time on TF1 alongside Jean-Pierre Foucault.
Alexia Laroche-Joubert, appointed president of the company in the fall of 2021, will now be in charge solely of the management of the Miss France company. Since her arrival, she has dusted off the competition.
“I don’t want to be in Victoria’s Secret anymore, with all the hair and all the physique,” she explained last December on BFMTV. A Miss France is not a model. She is someone who comes into contact with the French, officials, (…) she is someone who must transmit values to young women”.
Recent regional competitions have seen candidates a bit less calibrated than usual. A trans candidate, andrea furet, 20, appeared in Paris, and a 27 year old mother, Victoire Rousselot, competed in Alsace. Get out of the criteria of age, and celibacy, only the condition of size remains
Will this be enough to convince the association “Osez le féminisme!” Who believes that “this macho competition gives women back their physical appearance” and denounces an “archaic caricature” every year?
