Miss Centre-Val de Loire appears to have been genuinely taken aback when her name was announced on 14 December along with that of the other 14 finalists due to compete for a Miss France 2020 award. The 23-year-old beauty queen pouted her lips, her eyes wide open and glance tilted to the side, with all this combined expressing utmost surprise.
“Miss Centre Val de Loire!”

The Art of Self-Irony
The finalist, for her part, also joined the online splash Sunday afternoon, sharing a photo of herself and a screenshot showing her laughable pout. "When you arrive for Miss France and become a meme", she captioned the post.
