Déborah Adelin-Chabal, Miss Roussillon 2025, a breath of fresh air for Miss France 2026
Just turned 18, Déborah Adelin-Chabal already imposes her style. She is 1.75 m tall, impressive, isn’t it? From the charming town of Cabestany in the Pyrénées-Orientales, she has that little something that makes you think she will go far, really far.
She has been dancing for years, professionally even, and she is studying Spanish. Yes, she is a girl with many hats, and that makes me want to follow her closely. You feel a crazy energy in her, the kind of energy that makes you want to support her fully.
Her ambition? Really self-confidence. Not just a slogan, but a real fight, something she wants to share with the world. Honestly, I love this humanistic side that fits perfectly with the idea we have of a modern Miss.
You are surely wondering how she nearly made the Top 5 at Miss France? She achieved 4th runner-up, a remarkable feat that hadn’t happened for a candidate from Roussillon for a long time. A real sign that the next generation is here and very much present.
Who is Déborah Adelin-Chabal, the rising star of Roussillon?
So, who really hides behind this name? Déborah is a young woman who grew up in a family with strong Réunionnais roots on her father’s side — a mix that gives her a particular charm. Her background before the stage? She has been a professional dancer since she was 16, so yes, she already knows the pressure of performing.
The funny thing is, she also has been passionate about motocross since she was 7 years old. You have to admit, motorcycles and dancing is not a combination you see every day! This detail really surprised me. Oh and I forgot, she is super fond of rousquilles, those incredibly good Catalan biscuits.
Dancing is literally her life, with more than 20 hours of practice per week, she even danced at Bercy. And between you and me, that kind of experience on stage really calms the nerves, even if she admits to still being nervous for Miss France. Normal, right?
A little anecdote? She is a distant cousin of Sébastien Chabal, the legendary rugby player. Not a bad calling card, don’t you think?
The journey and great successes of Déborah Adelin-Chabal
She was elected Miss Roussillon on August 2, 2025, which catapulted her directly into the spotlight. Before that, nothing was guaranteed, to be honest. But this girl never gives up, you feel it in the way she speaks, and especially in her determination to defend her region.
Going from the regional election to the national podium, with a 4th runner-up at Miss France, is serious business. And it clearly shows she is not just here to look good. Maybe having her baccalauréat diploma helps her keep a cool head? She earned her diploma with honors, no less.
She wants to continue her studies, especially in Spanish, which fits well with her ambition to open other doors, maybe in modeling or cultural mediation. She has no intention of stopping there, that’s for sure.
A private life discreet but full of passions and commitments
As for love or marriage, nothing has leaked, she seems to want to keep that to herself, which makes sense given her young age and the turmoil around Miss France. But her true passion is self-confidence, a fight she has been deeply committed to for a long time.
She wants to help others to love themselves, protect themselves, find balance in a world that is not always kind. It’s touching, honestly. This concern for others gives a very human dimension to her character, glamorous as it may be.
Oh yes, a little secret: she hates going to nightclubs. Quite surprising for a beauty queen, right? But well, it shows us that she does not indulge in a superficial glittery life.
Projects and news not to be missed for Déborah Adelin-Chabal
At the moment, she is actively preparing for Miss France 2026. The show will be broadcast on TF1 on December 6 from the Zénith in Amiens, with Jean-Pierre Foucault hosting, which puts a bit of pressure, indeed. It will be the opportunity to see her shine and maybe to follow her beginnings in modeling.
She also continues her dancing and studies, which proves she knows how to juggle several lives at once. A serious and well-balanced contestant, it makes you want to believe in her future, don’t you think?
Regarding collaborations, we can expect her to work more with the Miss Roussillon committee and maybe with some regional showbiz figures. Youth and talent, that attracts, things are moving in 2025!

So, honestly, doesn’t this girl surprise you a little? Personally, I wasn’t ready for so much energy and freshness in a contest that can sometimes seem a bit stiff. But here, she brings a new breeze.
