Déborah Adelin-Chabal, Miss Roussillon 2025, a fresh breeze on Miss France 2026
Just turned 18, Déborah Adelin-Chabal already imposes her style. She is 1.75 m tall, impressive, isn’t it? Originally 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’s a multi-talented girl, and it makes me want to follow her closely. You feel a crazy energy in her, the kind of energy that makes you want to fully support her.
Her ambition? Truly self-confidence. Not just a slogan, but a real fight, something she wants to share with the world. Honestly, I love this humanistic side which fits perfectly with the idea of a modern Miss.
You’re probably wondering how she almost made the Top 5 at Miss France? She earned 4th runner-up, a remarkable feat that hadn’t happened for a candidate from Roussillon in a long time. A real sign that the next generation is here and very much here.
Who is Déborah Adelin-Chabal, the rising star of Roussillon?
So, who really is behind this name? Déborah is a young woman who grew up in a family with strong Réunion roots on her paternal 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 has also been passionate about motocross since she was 7 years old. You have to admit, motorbikes and dancing is not a combination you see every day! This detail really surprised me. Oh, and I almost forgot, she is super fond of rousquilles, those delicious Catalan biscuits.
Dancing is literally her life, with over 20 hours of practice per week, she has even danced at Bercy. And between you and me, that kind of stage experience really calms the nerves, though she admits she is still nervous about 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 can feel it in her way of speaking and especially in her determination to defend her region.
Going from regional election to national podium, with 4th runner-up at Miss France, it’s serious business. And it clearly shows that she’s not here just to look good. Maybe it’s her baccalaureate diploma that helps her keep a cool head? She earned her diploma with honors, just that.
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 definitely doesn’t intend to stop there, that’s clear.
A private life discreet but full of passions and commitments
As for love or marriage, nothing has leaked out, she seems to want to keep that to herself, which makes sense given her young age and the buzz around Miss France. But her true passion is self-confidence, a fight she has been dedicated 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, isn’t it? But hey, it shows us that she doesn’t let herself fall into a superficial glittery life.
Projects and news not to miss about Déborah Adelin-Chabal
Right now, she is actively preparing for Miss France 2026. The show will be broadcast on TF1 on December 6 from the Zénith of Amiens, with Jean-Pierre Foucault hosting, enough to add a bit of pressure nonetheless. It will be an 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 candidate, it makes you want to believe in what comes next, don’t you think?
On the collaboration side, we can expect her to work a bit more with the Miss Roussillon committee and why not with regional showbiz figures. Youth and talent attract, things are moving in 2025!
