Androgynous Miss France Winner Ignites Debate on ‘Wokeism’ and Beauty Standards
Meanwhile, Eve Gilles, a 20-year-old contestant with an “androgynous” style featuring a short, boyish haircut, made history by being crowned Miss France 2024, representing the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. Her victory has ignited discussions and accusations of the pageant adopting a “woke“ approach.
Breaking from traditional beauty norms, Gilles, who sports a pixie cut, emphasized her desire to challenge and diversify beauty standards. After winning, she stated, “We’re used to seeing beautiful Misses with long hair, but I chose an androgynous look with short hair,” emphasizing the uniqueness of each woman.
Gilles has been vocal about her intention to modernize the pageant, which has faced criticism for perpetuating sexist ideals. On stage, she expressed her belief that beauty goes beyond a specific hairstyle or body shape, advocating for a more inclusive representation of women.
The judges’ decision to crown Gilles, based on both public votes and a panel of seven female judges, sparked mixed reactions. Some on social media criticized the move, labeling it “woke” and suggesting the pageant shifted away from its traditional focus on beauty. Others defended Gilles, arguing that beauty should be recognized in various forms and that inclusivity is essential.
