On December 4, 2010, at just 19 years old, from the Zénith de Caen, Laury Thilleman’s life changed forever. The reason ? The young Breton was elected Miss France 2011. Today, she has become a television presenter and is multiplying her projects in fashion and has just launched her podcast. To promote it, Saturday May 11, 2024, she was the guest of the show Culture Mediaon Europe 1 and was questioned on the way in which she was spotted to embark on the Miss France adventure. Indeed, unlike other Misses, Laury Thilleman did not worship this election and did not think of one day running for it. However, some people ended up convincing her to try her luck. “By the greatest of coincidences in fact, I was in a shopping mall and I was assigned to the fresh produce section.”, she said, laughing. Immediately, the other people on the show wanted to know a little more about this astonishing revelation.
Laury Thilleman reveals where she failed during her year of reign
The ex-wife of Juan Arbelaez simply explained that casters had made her realize that she had every chance of one day becoming Miss France, and they were not wrong. A few months later, after being elected Miss Brittany, she succeeded Malika Ménard, Miss France 2010. For a year, she lived a fairy tale. Despite everything, she explained that everything had not been so easy to live with. She remembered one of the first pieces of advice given by Sylvie Tellier, who was still at the head of the Miss France organization: not to gain weight. “You must return your crown the way you got it. You must remain just the same”she would have told him according to comments reported by Laury Thilleman on the airwaves of Europe 1. Thus, for a year, she was unable to change her haircut and had to pay close attention to her figure. Only, she didn’t really succeed in not gaining a single gram. “We all gain between 5 and 6 kilos”, she said. It must be said that there are numerous invitations for Miss France. It is therefore difficult not to succumb to temptation. Despite everything, she does not regret her year of reign at all and would even be ready to do it again.
