Controversies• Concerns Raised Over Miss France's Focus on Fighting Violence Against Women

Sylvie Tellier, the main organizer of Miss France 2018, made the choice to align the event with the fight against violence towards women. This initiative was inspired by the worldwide #MeToo campaign, which emerged in the wake of allegations against Harvey Weinstein. However, this move faced scrutiny and disapproval from various quarters, including feminist organizations. They debated whether the Miss France event was a suitable platform for promoting women's rights in such a way. [5]International Business Times UK

• Debate Over Clothing Choice in Homage to Geneviève de Fontenay

The 2023 Miss France competition paid homage to Geneviève de Fontenay, who died on August 1, with a touching yet understated ceremony. The event showcased former Miss France winners on stage, each wearing black trousers and a white blouse, adorned with a sash marking their year of victory. Nonetheless, the choice of Sylvie's attire drew significant criticism, especially in light of the previously strained relationship between her and Fontenay.
