She could have tried her luck a few years ago, but she did well to wait … Saturday, December 11, 2021, Parisian Diane Leyre was elected Miss France 2022 during a big ceremony organized at the Zénith in Caen and broadcast on TF1. Barely her scarf and her crown in place, the one representing Ile-de-France began a marathon of interviews. Nearby Parisian, the pretty 24-year-old brunette explained in particular why her father did not want her to appear in the famous competition six years ago …
Our colleagues say that Diane Leyre already had the ambition to compete when she was 18 years old. But her father dissuaded her: “He was right. Besides, he’s always right. This is my dad“, she comments today. With her baccalaureate in her pocket, she left Paris and therefore began her higher studies in a renowned business school in Madrid, where she followed a course in business administration. She returned with her diploma to fluent in English and Spanish, and ready for beauty pageants.
Motivated by her cousin Illana Barry, elected Miss Languedoc-Roussillon 2020, Diane Leyre finally decides to get started, just before the age limit to register for the Miss France contest. “Today I have a lot more to say, she stressed to the Parisian. I was amazed by Miss New Caledonia who was only 18 years old, who has just arrived in France and has taken the stage. At his age, I wouldn’t have had the shoulders, neither to introduce myself nor the rhythm of life that will follow.“
