Okay, let’s talk about Sabah Aïb for a minute. 

Marrakech – The 18-year-old beauty from Nord-Pas-de-Calais came oh-so-close to taking the Miss France 2025 crown on December 14, but as we know in life, sometimes the crown isn’t meant to be – yet. 

Instead, the crown went to 34-year-old Angélique Angarni Filopon, Miss Martinique, who captured the jury’s attention, leaving our girl Sabah to settle for first runner-up. 

But don’t be fooled – this isn’t the end of her journey. Not by a long shot.

Here’s the thing. Sabah Aïb was the darling of the competition. She had that special spark, the kind that made her a favorite from the start. 

Everyone was watching, hoping to see the blonde beauty from Nord-Pas-de-Calais take the top spot. 

And while she won the public vote – no small feat, mind you – Miss Martinique ended up claiming the title after winning the jury’s vote. 

A little heartbreak, right? But hang on, this story’s got a twist.

Sabah’s journey might just be getting started. You see, while Angélique-Angarni-Filopon might have won Miss France at 34, the rules for Miss World are a different story. 

The Miss World competition has a strict age limit: you have to be between 18 and 27 years old. 

So guess what? Our girl Sabah still has a chance. While Angélique-Angarni won’t be eligible for Miss World, Sabah is perfectly positioned to make her mark on the global stage sooner than expected.

It’s almost poetic, don’t you think? 

Sabah, still one of the youngest contestants in the Miss France pageant, could now be set to shine even brighter internationally. 

When one door closes, but another opens wide. It’s like the universe is telling her: “Go ahead, take the world stage. It’s yours for the taking.”

And here’s the kicker – this could be a turning point for the Miss World competition, too. 

After all, Miss France’s first thirty-something winner could be seen as a game changer, right? 

But for Miss World, it’s the 18-to-27 crowd that still reigns supreme. 

Will Sabah’s second chance at a crown be the moment the world falls in love with her all over again?

We’ll be watching closely, because let’s be honest: Sabah Aïb isn’t done with this competition yet.

In fact, she may be just getting started. Keep your eyes peeled, folks. The Miss World crown might just be next on her list.
