Miss France 2017: ever bigger, ever thinner … candidates have changed

There was a time when Miss did not dominate all the head of a common man.

In 1960, the Miss France Brigitte Barazer of Lannurien weighed 62 kilograms for 1.70 meters . Today it would be just admitted to the competition, to the extent that the required minimum size is precisely to 1.70 meters. As for Iris Mittenaere , elected last year, Miss France 2016, it measures 1.72 meters to 61 kilos. A beauty queen relatively “round” and “small” because the now vying for Miss measurements turn on average around 1.76 meter to 55 kilos.
According to current standards of beauty, a Miss France can be as high and very thin. A turn that dates to the late 80s, with the emergence of super models . Much Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista , Claudia Schiffer and other Naomi Campbell who imposed the world of fashion and magazine covers their measurements outsized, often exceeding the meter eighty. Result, Miss eventually meet the same requirements, those dictated by the criteria of modeling agencies that seek an international market as the biggest claws. From his six feet tall, Linda Hardy opened the new era being elected Miss France 1992 including eventually the Elite agency.
Since it is climbing . Just like Flora Coquerel (photo alongside Jean-Pierre Foucault ), who was elected Miss France and measures 1.82 meters. Remember, the French measure women these days on average 1.62 meters and weigh 62.4 kilograms. Either two kilos and two centimeters more than forty years, according to a recent study. One thing is certain, the woman in the street has lost weight and grown – a lot – slower than Miss.
