Indira Ampiot, Miss France 2023, represents France in the prestigious Miss Universe competition! But who is the one we call the “Rihanna of Basse-Terre”? Find out what you need to know about the young woman, whose mother was also a beauty queen…
Indira Ampiot shone as Miss France 2023, but now she will try to win another coveted crown: that of Miss Universe! The election will take place on the night of November 16 to 17 and will be broadcast in France on Paris Première, from 2 a.m. But there are some new things this year…
Indira Ampiot represents France at Miss Universe
At 20, Indira Ampiot is preparing to compete for Miss Universe! But she will not be the only Frenchwoman in the competition since Catherine Edouard will represent Martinique and Coraly Desplan will defend the colors of Guadeloupe. They will be candidates in their own right, very distinct from France.
The competition will take place at the Arena Ciudad de México on the night of November 16-17. It will be broadcast on the French channel Paris Première from 2 a.m. Let’s hope that Indira Ampiot has an even better run than that of Diane Leyre who was just outside the top 20 last year. Will she succeed Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua? You can already vote for your favorite on this site and help her reach the top 30.
Indira Ampiot was not an adult at the start of the Miss France adventure!
The young woman, now nicknamed the “Rihanna of Basse-Terre” – “There are lots of puns with this, which makes me happy. It’s very flattering to be compared to Rihanna” – won the crown at just 18 years old. She was born on September 19, 2004. “I was spotted at 13 years old by the Miss Basse Terre committee in Guadeloupe. But they still waited until I was 17 to start. When I started the adventure, I wasn’t even an adult yet. In principle we are not allowed to start at such a young age but I was still in the year of my majority“, she explained in an interview with Parisian.
Indira Ampiot: Her mother also in the Miss France adventure
For Indira Ampiot, Miss France is a family affair! “My mother was first runner-up to Miss Guadeloupe, she kept her scarf, a box with all her memories, the VHS tapes and I grew up with all that in mind. And above all, I wanted to be like my mother“, she added.
Where does Indira Ampiot live?
The one who succeeded Diane Leyre settled in Paris after her coronation, with the apartment offered by the Miss France company. “In the end, it doesn’t change me too much because it was in my plans for my communications studies. So, I’m being offered the apartment and life here on a platter. I am determined to take advantage of it“, said the beauty queen.
Indira Ampiot: studies (bac and beyond)
It was July 26, 2023 at the hotel Royal Riviera, at Gosier, that Indira Ampiot was crowned Miss Guadeloupe after a magnificent show. “Thank you for believing in me, for supporting me, it was a pleasure to represent our capital. I now look forward to proudly taking on the role of ambassador of our archipelago, I thank you for your trust”, she wrote on her Instagram account, following her election. The young woman passed her baccalaureate with honors a year earlier and has not yet started her higher studies but wanted to join a communications school with the aim of specializing in visual advertising communication and design. .
Indira Ampiot: what is Miss France 2023’s passion?
The pretty Indira Ampiot is passionate about drawing. An art that she learned on her own: “Since I was little, whenever I have free time, a moment of peace, I take a pencil and a pen and I draw. I am completely self-taught and I find that I don’t do so badly than that”, she confides. But that’s not all, she also explains that she loves singing. Will Indira Ampiot launch into song, like Vaimalama Chaves, Miss France 2019? Time will tell.
