Miss France 2025 will not be able to participate in Miss World, her first runner-up ready to replace her

She has turned her age into a strength. And it is most certainly by delivering his speech “in the name of all the women who have been told it’s too late » that Angélique Angarni-Filopon, 34, made the hearts of the jury made up of seven women swing. “Perhaps my speech resonated with them,” Miss France 2025 analyzed in our columns. The jury’s vote allowed her to win the beauty contest, just ahead of Northerner Sabah Aïb who won the public vote.

But if the representative of Martinique has made her age an asset, it could remain a hindrance on a global scale. Miss World rules specify that contenders for the crown must be between the ages of 18 and 27 at the time of the international competition.

“If she doesn’t go and she agrees, I’ll take my chance.”

A boon for Sabah Aïb, who told La Voix du Nord that she was ready to replace Angélique Angarni-Filopon in the Miss World and Miss Universe competitions. “I was not aware of this age limit,” admits the 18-year-old young woman to the regional daily. Either way, if she doesn’t go and agrees, I’ll give it a shot. »

Although in her thirties, Angélique Angarni-Filopon will therefore be able to participate in Miss Universe if she wishes and perhaps break a new glass ceiling by becoming the oldest Miss Universe in history.
