Miss Martinique Crowned Miss France 2025, Makes History as Oldest Winner

Sabah Aib narrowly missed the crown. It is Miss Martinique Angélique Angarni-Filopon who won the jury’s heart. At 34 years old, she becomes the oldest Miss France ever crowned, a historic first. She succeeds Eve Gilles. Sabah Aib, Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais, was crowned first runner-up, honoring the great lineage of regional Miss winners, including Maëva Coucke, Camille Cerf, Iris Mittenaere and Eve Gilles.

Who is Sabah Aib? She is a second-year law student. The 18-year-old young woman is 1.73 m tall. She is the most followed Miss (nearly 70,000 followers on Instagram) among the 30 candidates for the Miss France 2025 title. Sabah has also been modeling since a very young age.

Of Algerian origin through her father and Moroccan through her mother, Sabah was the target of racist attacks on social media just after her regional election. "France is a multicultural country and having a name that comes from elsewhere does not change the fact that I am French," she defended herself on social media. "My election is proof that our region is rich in diversity and values, and I am proud to represent it."

The young woman lives in Lille with her boyfriend, an engineering student. A city she loves so much. "I really like the Vieux-Lille, its shops, its terraces... And the Citadel too: I go running there sometimes, or I go to the zoo," she told Lille Actu.
