On Saturday December 14, 2024, Angélique Angarni-Filopon, Miss Martinique, proved to all women and people who think it is too late to accomplish their dreams, that they are wrong! Indeed, at 34, she became the oldest Miss France in the history of the competition.
“No, it's never too late, and I'm proof!“, she confided in the columns of Gala magazine, a few days after her coronation. What particularly won over the French, in addition to her indisputable beauty, was her elocution during her speech, and her maturity.
Many were then convinced that Angélique Angarni-Filopon came first in the famous general knowledge test. Well no, it was Marina Przadka, aka Miss Picardy, who achieved this feat. Miss Martinique fared less well.
But she nevertheless had the average and remains very proud of her performance, as she explained to our colleagues at TV Starwho asked her about her overall feelings after this adventure: “I was mentally prepared for the pace. I experienced relatively few moments of stress. Even for the general knowledge questionnaire, everything went well. I learned that I got 11. 5 out of 20, it's not that bad.“

“This is linked to the fact that my mother was affected, although she is fine today.“, she explained, before addressing the younger generations, to whom she had a message to convey and a slogan to give them: “That of perseverance. I would like to tell them to believe in themselves because no one can do it for them.“
