A complicated and criticized succession
Unlike Sylvie Tellier, who held the position for seventeen years, or Geneviève de Fontenay, who remained in place for twenty-nine years, Cindy Fabre only held this role briefly. And she doesn’t hide her disappointment: “I put all my energy and my passion into this adventure, with the sincere desire to contribute to the evolution of the competition while preserving its identity and its values. I would have loved to continue to carry out this mission which is so close to my heart. heart, but sometimes life invites us to rewrite our path.”
A publication and a message which contrasts with the official declarations evoking a mutually decided departure.

On social networks, however, this announcement surprised no one. Many believe that Cindy Fabre did not make a significant impact on the competition. On X (formerly Twitter), the reactions were not long in coming: “His absence will be very little noticed”, “She doesn’t have Sylvie Tellier’s address book at all“, “The difference in visibility of the Misses under the Tellier era and under the Fabre era is glaring.”
-Other Internet users evoke a role perceived as symbolic: “I always had the impression that Cindy Fabre was just there to reassure the French after the departure of Sylvie Tellier, by telling them ‘A Miss France is still at the head of the competition’. His role was vague, his presence almost non-existent. His departure won’t change anything.”
The position of director eliminated
On the side of the Miss France committee, we seem to want to make a real change of direction. According to information revealed by our colleagues, the position of competition director will simply not be replaced. A decision which will directly impact Angélique Angarni-Filopon, Miss France 2025 but also all future new Misses, who will now be plunged into the media bath without a chaperone and forced to show more independence.
