A scarf out of stock
Her clothing style, although quite simple, also contributed to her success.

In shopping centers, you could spot the academic’s fans at a glance by this accessory that they proudly displayed. Even the show’s teachers have adopted it, testifying to the dazzling popularity of this clothing detail. Héléna was thus able to impose, effortlessly and while remaining herself, a style that marked her time.

From her bedroom to the biggest stages
When Héléna Bailly took her first steps in Star Academy, she surprised everyone by revealing that until then she had only sung in her room. Faced with her often impeccable performances, the teachers kept reminding her that she had “left her room”. A phrase that marked her career, to the point that she even included it in her first single, “Aimée pour de vérité”, released a few weeks after the end of the show.
A strong message of self-acceptance
If her first single was a success, it was her song “Summer Body” which really propelled her to the top of the charts. A true hymn to self-acceptance, this title addresses the weight problems that Héléna mentioned during her adventure, as well as her difficult path towards accepting her body. In the clip, several women of all body types appear in pink one-piece swimsuits, wearing personalized “Miss” scarves, illustrating a diversity of bodies without complexes. This message touched thousands of people, from young to old, and further strengthened the bond between the artist and his audience.
