Frenchwoman wins Miss France 2024 with short hair
Diversity and inclusion, when not forced, earn the recognition they deserve. This was evident in the most recent crowning of Miss France 2024, held on Saturday, December 16 at the Zenith in Dijon, where a young woman was crowned who does not have the typical long hair look to which we are accustomed.
Just look at the following photo to understand what I'm talking about. And the young Eve Gilles was the one who historically won the most important beauty crown in France. Eve is the first short-haired Frenchwoman to be crowned Miss France in the last 100 years, yes! 100 years. You can believe it?
Her dark hair and her straight cut, reaching the nape of her neck, made the now brand new Miss France 2024 look very chic, elegant and authentic, enough reasons to conquer the jury that was made up of renowned and successful women from France.
Eve was crowned surprisingly, since she did not appear on the list of favorites of the French media nor on that of television viewers, which for the second consecutive year were more than 7 million, only in France.
The truth is that the young woman is, since Saturday, an important symbol of diversity in her country and throughout Europe.
More about Eve Gilles
Eve is 20 years old, she is originally from the small town of Quaedypre, in Dunkerque. During the year of her reign, she plans to "defend the values of strong women." She won the crown of the Nord Pas-de-Calais region, which took her to the Miss France 2024 stage.
In her first interview with Paris Match, Miss France 2024, said that she hopes she is not pigeonholed as "the miss with short hair, because she is not just that" and added that if "she cut her hair it was not because she found it particularly pretty." she just didn't have any kind of emotional attachment to her hair" and concluded by saying that "it wasn't anything unusual for a woman, many French women have short hair."
Will Eve go to any international competition?
It is known that Miss France chooses a young woman to reign at the national level and although the organization is a franchisee of Miss Universe and Miss World, it is not the obligation of the elected queen to participate in any of these events, if she does not wish to do so. So we are all waiting for the decision that Eve will make. Will she be encouraged to go to Miss World or Miss Universe? Only time will give us the answer.
