PORTRAIT – The flight attendant made beauty pageant history by becoming the first winner from the Caribbean island but also the first thirty-year-old to be crowned.
“When I won Miss Martinique, I told the people of Martinique that we were going to do it together and we did it together. » A few seconds after the announcement of her victory for the title of Miss France 2025, Angélique Angarni-Filopon overwhelmed by emotion, spoke her first words into Jean-Pierre Foucault's microphone. Born on October 9, 1990, the Martinican was the first candidate over 30 years old to participate in the beauty contest.
“In 2011, a young woman aged 20 finished first runner-up in the Miss Martinique competition”she told the audience at the Arena Futuroscope and millions of TF1 viewers. “Today, it is this same young woman of 34 years who stands before you to represent Martinique, its diaspora, as well as all the women who were told one day that it was too late. »

Angélique Angarni-Filopon
In thirteen years, Angélique Angarni-Filopon gains maturity and allows herself to be won over by a certain wisdom. “Over time, I learned the importance of perseverance, she said in her portrait on TF1. When the Miss France competition removed the age limit, I said to myself why not. I want to show women what they are capable of achieving. There is no age to make your dreams come true. » In addition to age, her two small tattoos, one on the hollow of the left arm and the other on the inside of the wrist, have also benefited from the evolution of the Miss France regulations.
Originally from Fonds-Saint-Denis and Morne-Vert, she grew up in mainland Vauréal in Val d'Oise with her brother and sister. Her parents separated when she was only 12 years old. After her first attempt at the Miss Martinique competition, Angélique Angarni-Filopon entered working life and became a flight attendant while keeping her dreams of Miss France in the back of her mind. As for her private life, she carefully preserves it.
