On December 16th, it was Ève Gilles, Miss Nord-pas-de-Calais, who became our new Miss France. And one detail is causing a frenzy: she is the first winner with short hair in the history of the contest.

Saturday night was the audiovisual event of the year. And it's not a joke. The Miss France 2024 election, hosted by a Jean-Pierre Foucault who is starting to get (too) old, brought together more than 9 million viewers. Including a good number who went after our brand new Miss, who is only 20 years old.

It's a little short

The main cause of these unfounded and useless attacks? Ève Gilles' physical appearance, in particular her haircut and slimness. And inevitably, given the level that the Twittersphere can sometimes reach, many immediately combined these two elements and showered unjustified transphobic remarks.

Poor Miss France, who tirelessly appears on television and in magazine offices since her election, has repeatedly expressed how deeply affected she is by these criticisms, and that it is important for people to understand that she is not just defined by her hair. Well said!


Never satisfied

And we find this even more ridiculous and scandalous because if Miss Provence, tall blonde with long hair and blue eyes, had been elected, the same detractors would have cried scandal by denouncing conformity, clichés, lack of diversity, blablablablabla…

And unfortunately, Miss France is not the only one who has to endure negative remarks, as many other candidates have been criticized, partly because of their not always very clear answers to the judges' questions, and partly because of their regional outfits that are not always highly believable. And even though the poor girls can't help it, we have to admit that even we, when we saw Miss Lorraine's dress/table, or Miss Picardie's dress/octopus, we couldn't help but smile a little...
