When Sylvie Tellier met Donald Trump
Sylvie Tellier also returns to the Miss Universe competition, which will once again be broadcast on Paris Première for the 2023 edition – where she occupies the place of commentator. She then tells an astonishing anecdote about Donald Trump, who was the organizer of the international beauty contest until his accession to the presidency of the United States. She remembers that the former head of the American state had “a well-defined choice based on the criteria of the Miss Beauty”while explaining that when she herself participated in Miss Universe, “we were entitled to a cosmetic surgery consultation.” It is indeed authorized to have had recourse to this type of operation for Miss World and Miss Universe, but not for Miss France, except in the case of reconstructive surgery.
