Angelique Angarni-Filopon, 34, has made history as the oldest woman to win the Miss France crown. Hailing from Martinique, she won the Miss France 2024 pageant, which recently changed its rules to allow women over 24 years old to compete.
In her acceptance speech, Angelique shared her journey, saying, “Today, it’s the same young woman aged 34 who stands before you to again represent Martinique, its diaspora as well as all the women who were once told that it was too late.”
Angelique competed alongside contestants from various professions, including dentists and doctors, according to the Republic World. They showcased regional costumes, swimsuits, and ballgowns while performing to a mix of 90s hits and country music.
As the winner, Angelique will receive a residence in Paris, several sponsored gifts, and a year-long allowance.
