Indira Ampiot almost falls because of her national costume
Thursday, November 14, the young Miss paraded during the Miss Universe Preliminary Show. Under the attentive gaze of the judges, Indira Ampiot strolled first in an evening dress, then in a swimsuit before donning her national costume. Unfortunately, right in the middle of the podium, the representative of France tripped over the train of her dress and caught herself in the extremes. “His reaction is perfect”underline Internet users when they see her wearing a big smile after this little hiccup.
“Phew, she made up for it”can we read on TikTok. “Yes, France can falter but never falls.” On her Instagram account, Indira Ampiot couldn't help but explain: “It's true that there was a little problem with my national costume, but I was always tripping over it so I knew it was going to happen. But hey it doesn't matter, at least I laughed, I really had fun tonight.”
For the rest of the competition, it takes place on the night of Saturday November 16 to Sunday November 17. The election will be broadcast from 2 a.m. on the Paris Première channel. And if you don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to follow Indira Ampiot's steps live, don't panic: the program will be rebroadcast on November 17 from 7:10 p.m.
