Sylvie officially reacted to this question (LOOOOADS of people asked) : Vaimalama could be offered to go to Miss Universe or MW next year BUT she'll have Miss France 2020's leftovers. Which is fine with me. I'll even say she should have Miss France's 1st runner-up's leftovers. It's been a good couple years now that the 1st runner-up goes internationally as well.

Well that's the thing, France chooses, votes and elects its Miss France, not its Miss Universe France. That is a huge nuance. Girls can choose which one they want to go. Actually and, let's say "popularly" being into international pageants stil is new here. Chloé paved the way up to Marine, Flora and Iris's crowning. Before that? we didn't give a damn. Most people here are just starting to realize that Miss Universe and Miss World are not the same pageant.

But still I do smell something fishy. Girl must be quite homesick. She showed lots of wit but lately she shows too much. I bet Sylvie's happy with it.

All in all, that would give Maëva a chance to redeem herself after her Head2Head and the "I have a French accent ah ah ah" fiasco after she shined at the Top Model fast-track.

AND a chance for Ophély to bring her genuine and personal advocacy on an international stage.

Hope those two will be the final choice. Seems the 2ndr runner-up is out since she declined the Miss France gala team offer (said she's back at school), so other possibilities might include Morgane, Miss Réunion, 3rd runner-up.

I adored Morgane, so that'd be a great choice too. She seems more Universe caliber than World though in my opinion, and I think Maëva is really the strongest option for Universe.

At this point I'm pretty sure Maëva is going to go.

Interesting outcome!
It's kind of wasteful but also pretty cool for her to stand her ground and do her own thing. A real carefree soul.

I don't know, that wouldn't be fair for Miss France 2020 and her 1st runner-up. She had her chance and she refused it. But I agree it's a waste for Miss World :'(

She is too pretentious to be Miss World, I hope she will not go next year! Anyway, it would surprise me a lot because she clearly does not have the motivation and is satisfied with her Miss France title, she does not want more.

I feel like she's been Miss Tahiti France all year long :(

It's absolutely fine to be proud of your native region. But once you're Miss France, it's the whole country you are representing!
We've barely seen her all year long, just a couple picture here and there and that's about it.

Whether we like her decision not to compete internationally this year or not, one thing is certain is that she has been such a breath of fresh air this year!
I mean, not only her face is probably one of the best from MF winners ever, but her personality came through while some other winners seem bland sometimes.
She is unapologetically herself, she does what she wants, she's hilarious, she's strong headed, and so likeable. She is far from beauty pageant stereotypes and that's refreshing to me.
She even released a whole album during her reign, that's so cool! While some other queens are left hosting crappy TV shows and not taken seriously.
I will miss her very much!

In the end, she was not seen as much as the other queens. And now we know why, she was working on her music : couldn't she wait the end of her year????
Her advocacy on school bullies ??? I've heard about it ONCE during her year, it was a couple days ago, ONLY.

Being unapologetic is one thing, being direspectful is another, and she's been plain disrespectful a couple times unfortunately (still not over her "shut-up I'm talking" to her Tahitian fans).

She's one of my biggest disappointment as a Miss France. I was rooting for her like crazy and I feel like she let us down. But like she said, she's her own person, we do not owe her just because we spent money on voting for her X( %-( ~X(

No I've got to say that I strongly hope she won't take the place of Miss France 2020's first runner-up for next year's international big 2, this would be unfair. It is well known now that for years, the 1st runner-up gets the "left-over" of the reigning Miss France. She had her opportunity and dismissed it for music (I'm pretty sure that's part of the reality of her refusal to go).

So yes, she's beautiful and bubbly, but she's not what I expected of her. But that is my own opinion, I do get that others liked her. But not at the cost of dismissing former Miss France. Releasing a music album instead of attending her duties as Miss France is not a sign of success in my opinion, it's rather an egoistic act.

I won't elaborate on her body, I am an ex overweighted person, you can even say obese, I feel I have no say in the matter. And she is an inspiration, it was nice to get a size 42 queen, but again, what has she done on this advocacy except being borderline rude to journalists hinting on this during interviews? She could have done so much more :'(
And I have to say that as a Miss France, she should have known she would be expected to "maintain" a figure. I'm pretty sure that's in her contract to be honest. I believe that she felt less pressured than the other former Miss France and maybe suffered the same fate than them : being invited to the restaurant everyday has its cost. And when you compete internationaly, you act on it.

She's a different kind of Miss France overall, and after Alicia and Maeva we clearly needed a strong personality and another kind of winner. I'm not hating on Alicia or Maeva, but they were just....here.
I feel like she has shown that being Miss France is not just following what people want you to do, and that's very brave to do when you have pageant fans out there that can be conservative sometimes.

To be honest, every year the winner does the same thing: same TV shows, same events, same styling etc.. Here she proved that being Miss France is being YOU and doing what you love and show to people they can do that too. That's much better than waiting until the end of the year to co-host a TV show on secondary networks.
I agree that she did not push her advocacies that much, but which queen has REALLY done A LOT for their charity during their reign? The only one I can think of is Flora, mainly after her reign and even up to this day she's super involved!
I suppose there is little room to do that as Miss France because she has a lot of events, trips etc.. Sylvie needs to work on giving the girls more free time to push their advocacies. Kind of what MW and Miss Universe do.

I feel like she has shown that being Miss France is not just following what people want you to do, and that's very brave to do when you have pageant fans out there that can be conservative sometimes.

To be honest, every year the winner does the same thing: same TV shows, same events, same styling etc.. Here she proved that being Miss France is being YOU and doing what you love and show to people they can do that too. That's much better than waiting until the end of the year to co-host a TV show on secondary networks.
I agree that she did not push her advocacies that much, but which queen has REALLY done A LOT for their charity during their reign? The only one I can think of is Flora, mainly after her reign and even up to this day she's super involved!
I suppose there is little room to do that as Miss France because she has a lot of events, trips etc.. Sylvie needs to work on giving the girls more free time to push their advocacies. Kind of what MW and Miss Universe do.


Flora obviously.
Marine definitely.
Iris went to schools to teach how to brush your teeth and such.
Maëva and Camille did talk about breast cancer.

Maybe they did not do anything "grand" but at least they talked about their causes. It seems that Vai disappeared in between her crowning media tour, Fort Boyard, Miss Tahiti and now her end of reign ...
She's made Sylvie reveale the Miss France concentration trip way before usual because she talked too much on stage at the Miss Tahiti pageant. Same goes for international pageants, as soon as she opened her mouth saying "I'll see you again in November", that was it ...

Vaimalama most definitely "brocke" the mould but it did not go without disappointment.

There are things she missed, but I'm not being too harsh on her or see her reign as a disappointment because most of the year she has been heavily criticized about her body. It takes a lot of confidence to face those comments and she is not backing down and replies to them. At some point this must have gotten tiring for her to always explain herself and people constantly attacking her.
She's got a sharp tongue and people don't like when Miss France claps back at them because MF winners usually try to be politically correct.
To me she's been such an inspiration, and the fact that she openly replies to those attacks and shows a "body positive" image to everyone out there. Even spanish newspaper El Pais wrote an article about her!
And that's possibly the biggest cause she had to defend, because it was directly aimed at her. She's full of confidence and she knows who she is, and if Miss France org can't take her, well that's too bad because she got the crown of 2019 forever.

Sorry, missed the discussion about her background, but does she have Asian or Hispanic blood? She seems to be a beautiful mix.
