Saturday December 16, 2023, TF1 viewers were more than seven million in front of their television sets to watch the coronation of the new Miss France. Indeed, at the end of the ceremony presented for more than 25 years by Jean-Pierre Foucault, it was ultimately Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Ève Gilles, who won the coveted scarf… A moment of joy for the 20-year-old young woman who attracted the attention of Internet users from the start of the evening.

Audrey Ho-Wen-Sai has indeed seduced Internet users from the first painting.

Messages, each more positive than the last.
“You saw Beyoncé in front, aka Miss Guyana”she notably read before being embarrassed by such a comparison.
“Stop, stop…”, she said. And to add: “No, but I was honestly so happy to be in front during the opening performance. Plus on Beyoncé… At rehearsals, I was really in heaven. I was like: ‘Ah I’m going to die‘. I was motivated to take the crown. It’s so cute that people saw this motivation. Despite everything, I think we can say that I was a Miss who put on an exceptional show.”
