MISS FRANCE – They are among the women considered the most beautiful in France and yet, that does not prevent them from having recourse to photo retouching. So much so that the 29 candidates for the Miss France 2022 election have been called to order, report the Parisian this Sunday, November 21.

Competition director Sylvie Tellier revealed that the Miss France 2021 Amandine Petit had warned the contenders for the crown, telling them: “Ladies, beware, you are in the Miss France contest, not in the Instagram contest! So you forget about your apps because you are in reality. By retouching too much, you risk generating disappointing reactions when you arrive in the Miss France adventure. ”

This is exactly what has happened in recent days on the Internet. Internet users wondered about some candidates whose physical appearance they no longer recognized between the photos on social networks and the official Miss France photo.

Sylvie Tellier, herself elected Miss Beauty in 2002, specifies in the daily newspaper that at Miss France, the exemplarity is required and no photo is retouched … ”except a little the chroma of a sky or the sea ​​to make them bluer ”.

She also claims to alert the candidates to the bubble that social networks can form: “There are plenty of French people who are not on Instagram (…), we must not neglect them and think of everyone.”

The election of Miss France 2022 will take place on December 11, at the Zénith in Caen.
