Freedom, equality, fraternity… And a beauty contest?
Representative of France at Miss Universe, Amandine Petit did not skimp on the symbols for her first stage outfit.
Thursday, during the National costume show, Miss France 2021 arrived draped in a white dress, a Phrygian cap on her head and a tricolor in hand, the perfect outfit of a Marianne.
With a few details.
Once on stage, the miss unbuttoned her dress, and unveiled a fully rhinestone "body armor".
A shimmering costume that would probably have had the most beautiful effect on the barricades.
“For me, representing a strong and inspiring French icon was close to my heart,” explains Amandine Petit on her Instagram account, caption of the video of her visit.
From Joan of Arc to Marianne
In her message, the miss also wanted to thank Smaï Boutamtam, a stylist from Rouen, creator of the famous outfit.
“What an honor for me to showcase your talent in front of the whole world,” she wrote.
On his own Instagram account, the stylist explained the choice of this outfit: “We chose the Marianne theme in order to stay in the same perspective as with Joan of Arc [during the Miss France contest in December 2020 ].
A strong and independent woman, and this time a republican symbol of France representing our values "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" ".
