34-Year-Old Angélique Angarni-Filopon Becomes Oldest Miss France Winner

The Martinique native’s historic win challenges traditional beauty standards and inspires women to pursue their dreams at any age.

  • Angélique Angarni-Filopon, a 34-year-old flight attendant from Martinique, was crowned Miss France 2025, becoming the oldest winner in the pageant’s history.
  • Her victory comes after the pageant lifted its age limit in 2022, allowing contestants over 24, as well as married women and mothers, to compete.
  • Angarni-Filopon’s powerful speech advocating for women told it was 'too late' to achieve their dreams resonated with both the jury and the public.
  • Due to Miss World’s age restrictions, which cap eligibility at 27, Angarni-Filopon will not compete in that contest, with her first runner-up potentially stepping in.
  • She is eligible to compete in Miss Universe, which has removed its age cap and embraced broader inclusivity, including married women and transgender contestants.
