At only 18 years old, Sabah Aib was elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais on Saturday October 19. A title which comes with a certain pressure, since many northern candidates have won the title of Miss France before her.
A new chance to see the Miss France crown return to Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Sabah Aib was elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais on Saturday October 19 in Liévin, succeeding Ève Gilles, who led her way last year from the North to obtaining the crown of Miss France 2024 .
A journey that Sabah Aib hopes to continue today, who admits to feeling “a little bit of pressure” at the idea of following in the footsteps of many northern misses before her.
“Nord-Pas-de-Calais has brought back the crown of Miss France many times, so it’s certain that people are waiting for me around the corner,” she declared this Monday, October 21 on the set of BFM Grand Lille. “Afterwards, these are examples for me, all these young women who have succeeded in achieving this goal, and I will give the best of myself to retrace their steps.”
The “beginning” of the Miss France adventure
Sabah Aib was elected on Saturday in front of an audience of more than 5,300 people, crowned by Ève Gilles in person, as tradition dictates. On the jury were two northern misses who had won the title of Miss France: Camille Cerf (Miss France 2015) and Maëva Coucke (Miss France 2018).
Misses who have already provided their valuable advice to Sabah Aib. “They reassured me a lot,” she says.
Pushed by those close to her to participate in the competition, Sabah Aib did not “necessarily expect” to be crowned Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
“To have the crown of Nord-Pas-de-Calais is a real source of pride. It brings a lot of emotion, and also nostalgia. (…) It’s an adventure that is ending, but also a debut for me for Miss France.”
A second year law student, she hopes to become a family law lawyer, someone who says she is “very kind to the world around her”, and who “hates injustice”.
While waiting for the national competition, which will take place on December 14 at Futuroscope in Poitiers, Sabah Aib is already preparing to begin her preparation for the competition. Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais being one of the last regional competitions before the election of Miss France, she will soon have to start rehearsals, and fly to the Ivory Coast for the trip of the Miss France 2025 class All before celebrating his 19th birthday on December 31.
