She had been in office since 2021 as president of the Miss France company, and finally Alexia Laroche Joubert decided to give up her place. And while the news has just been shared at a press conference, we also learned that Sylvie Tellier, who has long been presented as her great rival, was going to make her return to the competition.
She meets the Misses for an evening
She will in fact be president of the jury for Miss France 2024, the ceremony of which must take place on December 16, 2023, in Dijon. In the meantime, this weekend, the mother of Margaux, Oscar and Roméo is supporting Diane Leyre for the election of the next Miss Universe, in El Salvador. She hosts the French broadcast on Paris Première, while Iris Mittenaere is on site, as a member of the jury.
On Alexia Laroche Joubert’s side, the decision was made, due to the businesswoman’s schedule. On Miss France’s X account, we could indeed read, this November 17, 2023: “My new professional adventures at the head of Banijay France mean that I will leave the presidency of the Miss France company at the end of December 2023 […] To succeed me at the head of the Miss France company, I have decided to appoint Frédéric Gilbert president.
Reaction from Sylvie Tellier
It was he who had already replaced Sylvie Tellier as general manager of Miss France following the departure of the former beauty queen a few months ago. “All my congratulations Fred on your appointment as general manager of Miss France. 13 years of professional relationships. 9 shows produced together but above all 15 years of friendship! I wish you great success!”, had also written Sylvie Tellier on this subject on her Instagram account.
