Iris Mittenaere, representing France, has been crowned the winner of the 2017 Miss Universe competition held in Manila, Philippines.
She is in her fifth year of dental school. Iris says she loves extreme sports, including skydiving, bungee jumping and hang gliding. She also enjoys cooking French food and traveling.
As Miss Universe, she wants to advocate for access to education and children’s rights. As a dental student, she also wants to continue her awareness campaign for dental and oral care, taking her campaign all around the world.
When asked what quality makes someone confidently beautiful, Iris told us, “Beauty shines from the inside out. Be kindhearted, believe in moral values, have confidence in myself, but also admit my flaws, that is the way to work on myself and become confidently beautiful.”
TIME reports that during the Q&A session, Miss France took on the global topic of refugee crisis by praising her country for opening its borders and accepting those displaced from the middle east due to war. “In France, we want to have the most globalization that we can, we want to have the biggest exchange of people that we can,” she said.
Miss Haiti recounted how the 2010 Haiti earthquake changed her life, while Miss Colombia made a joke, recalling how Steve Harvey scandalous error at last year’s Miss Universe competition, when he mistakenly declared Colombia the winner instead of Miss Philippines.
