It’s official: Diane Leyre, our Miss France 2022, will not represent France in international competitions this year. Indeed, as announced via an official press release, it is Floriane Bascou, Miss Martinique 2021 and first runner-up of the beauty, who will wear our colors high in the contest. Miss Universe. For her part, Clémence Botino, Miss France 2020, will participate in the next election of Miss World. A real disappointment for the current beauty queen…
See you in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday January 14, 2023 to elect Miss Universe 2023. This is when the pretty Floriane Bascou will try to win the internationally renowned title and thus follow in the footsteps of Iris Mittenaere, elected Miss Universe in 2016. As for the Miss World contest, for the time being, the date and the place have not been revealed. But Clémence Botino hopes to do better than her comrades Ophélie Mezino in 2019 and Marine Lorphelin in 2013, both ranked first runner-up. Her goal is to renew the French exploit of Denise Perrier, who won the crown and the sash of Miss World in 1953.
In this same press release, Diane Leyre explains her absence. “Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in the Miss Universe competition due to lack of time and preparation a few weeks before my Miss France title presentation, next December, she throws. I don’t like to do things by halves when it comes to representing France internationally and the choice of my first runner-up, Floriane Bascou, was obvious to live this great adventure. I’m sure she will shine and I will support her like all the French during her journey.“
