You know, when Angélique Angarni-Filopon, that tall lady measuring 1m83 from Martinique, became Miss France 2025 at 34 years old, I immediately felt it was going to be different. Not just yet another beauty queen…
Already, she doesn’t have the classic silhouette one imagines of a Miss. No, Angélique is energy, incredible charisma. She was born on October 9, 1990, in Sartrouville and she has an aura that crosses borders.
Her journey is a crazy mix of discipline and passion. Former flight attendant for Corsair, before that in sales, she even has a pilot’s license. A life that didn’t necessarily predict a Miss throne, but she broke the mold.
And frankly, she became the first Miss Martinique crowned Miss France, which says a lot about her story, her roots, that Martinican pride she wears without pretense.
Angélique Angarni-Filopon, an unsuspected strength behind the crown
If you dig a little, you quickly understand that Miss France 2025 was not born a queen, but shaped herself with patience. This 34-year-old Martiniquais woman took her chance in 2011 at Miss Martinique, where she was first runner-up. Thirteen years later, perseverance pays off.
Before that? She wore a flight attendant uniform, between Air France, Air Caraïbes, and Corsair. A world apart, far from the glitter, where she gained discipline and humility.
This mix of culture, rigorous work, and desire to express through beauty and identity makes her a unique Miss, refusing to stay in a box.
Her height already commands visual respect, but it’s mostly this presence she radiates at her events, like in Cannes, where she unveiled a dress she had co-created with a great couturier.
A reign marked by struggle and resilience
Honestly, it wasn’t easy at all for Angélique. Right after her crowning, the wave of hatred fell upon her. Criticism about her age, skin color, appearance, sometimes unbearable, attacks that could have broken her.
She was even forced to tone down her media appearances. This digital violence isn’t just an anecdote; it became a real poison. No surprise she confesses that she suffered from impostor syndrome.
But more than anything, she transformed this pain into strength, initiating workshops against cyberbullying with future candidates. A strong message rarely seen in this field.
The Miss France committee even created a new position of godmother to support the future Miss, a gesture that says a lot about the backstage of beauty today.
A future full of promises and challenges for the former flight attendant
Now 35 years old, Angélique does not plan to stop there. Starting in 2026, she will step onto the floor of Danse Avec Les Stars, a real leap into another universe, but not without intensity.
She also dreams of writing a book, lending her voice for dubbing, and above all, she wants to represent France at Miss Universe, ready to surprise again.
She has that creative, ambitious, and genuine side that makes you want to follow her future adventures. All that, while she more or less refuses to return to aviation, preferring to dedicate herself to her new public life.
Do you feel that energy? Angélique is clearly ready to mark 2026 as much as her reign has, in a style that is her own and that breaks standards.

Explosive projects in 2026 for Angélique Angarni-Filopon
After this intense year, Angélique is fully projecting herself into new challenges. Participating in Danse Avec Les Stars is more than an idea; it’s a will to show another side of herself.
She also plans to write a book to tell her adventure, her encounters, and what this title really represents beyond the cliché. Honestly, I can’t wait to read it.
Not to mention Miss Universe, where she should proudly represent France, an occasion to show that a Miss can be several things at once.
And if the life of a former Miss is never simple, she proves that you can remain true and carry high the voice of your origins and values, with class.
An extraordinary journey that redefines French beauty
Angélique Angarni-Filopon is a breath of fresh air in a sometimes rigid world. She reminds us that Miss France is not just a beauty contest but a true story of identity, struggle, and resilience.
A 34-year-old woman, tall, imposing, who breaks the norms and refuses the unique gaze on female beauty. Just that alone is refreshing.
She lived her reign with ups and downs but remains always ready to support her successor Hinaupoko Devèze and to advocate against digital hatred.
So yes, her name will remain engraved, not just in books but in memories, as that of a Miss unlike any other, a true voice.
Why did the Martinican beauty queen shake up the Miss France contest?
What makes the difference with Angélique is this rare combination of age, maturity, and origin. First Miss Martinique crowned in over a century, she embodies a turning point in this 100-year-old contest.
Her story also talks about a fight against racism and ageism, which had never been so visible before in this context. A reign that shocked as much as it inspired.
She is not afraid to tackle difficult subjects, even if it means shining a light on those who prefer to remain silent. And that changes everything.
And of course, this impact continues even after she returned her crown, with initiatives and a voice that matters in the media landscape.
