big disappointment for the French Floriane Bascou

On January 14, Miss Universe 2022 was crowned in Louisiana. In all, 84 candidates, each representing a country, competed to try to take over from the Indian Harnaaz Sandhu, Miss Universe 2021. To represent France, it was not Diane Leyre who made the trip, but well its first runner-up Floriane Bascou. “I’m ready for this evening that I’ve been waiting for so longrevealed the Miss Martinique a few hours before the show. I have only one idea in mind, which is to give the maximum on stage and represent you as well as possible.

After having chained the trainings, like the catwalk courses and the lessons of personal development and English, the French representative had to measure up to the other international candidates. Unfortunately, the young 21-year-old woman failed to integrate the first selection of 16 candidates. At the end of the evening, it is R’Bonney Gabriel, Miss USA, who was crowned.

Iris Mittenaere, last French winner

The last French victory in the Miss Universe contest dates back to that of Iris Mittenaere. On January 30, 2017, she had been elected Miss Universe 2016, winning the title for France sixty-three years after Christiane Martel’s victory. To date, only two have been able to wear the famous crown. However, this does not confer a special status on Iris Mittenaere, since she revealed that Floriane Bascou had not asked her for help. “Before knowing who was going to represent France, I offered, as always, my advice, she explained in an interview, resumed by Tele-Leisure. I did not have any particular solicitation from Floriane who, I think, does not know me, so she did not seek advice from me.
