How Miss France Won Miss Universe 2017


During Sunday’s Miss Universe pageant, host Steve Harvey announced the correct winner for the 2017 pageant, and it was Miss France, Iris Mittenaere. The contestant seemed to impress the judges with her well-rounded life and authentic responses to questions.

Mittenaere had a funny moment with Harvey as she explained that she was quite the cook and that her specialty was beef bourguignon. When she invited him over to try it, Harvey responded, “No, I have a wife. I can’t come.”

Mittenaere is studying to become a dentist in Paris. She explained that dentists did a lot of work for her as a child, so she wanted to give back.

She also showed how caring she can be when she was asked a question about the global refugee crisis. She said, “In France, we want to have the most globalization that we can. We want to have the biggest exchange of people that we can. Maybe someday that will change, but now we have open borders.”

With her study of dentistry and her care for refugees, Iris Mittenaere will be sure to bring smiles to many faces in her reign as Miss Universe.
