Miss France Safietou Kabengele left the audience of the Miss Grand International beauty pageant shocked after removing her lace wig in the middle of the runway. The video went viral on social media.
The moment occurred during the swimsuit competition of the preliminary phase of the event. Safietou was walking down the runway and interacted with another contestant by taking off her lace and handing it to her. The audience erupted in applause.
“I want to show that a Black woman with short hair is just as legitimate in representing Normandy as a blonde with blue eyes. I am Senegalese-Congolese and of Norman origin. It’s a whole. I have a multiple identity,” Safietou stated.
The model received a series of compliments online after her performance. “She’s the one we need to send to Miss Universe!” commented one user on Instagram. “She has it all,” stated another.
Safietou Kabengele is 1.85 meters tall and revealed to local media that she had issues in her adolescence accepting her body. “I was the tallest in school. To defend myself from harassment, I cultivated a bit of a tomboy side,” she shared.
The Miss Grand final will take place on Friday (25).
