The radiant smile of Kelly Maes, Miss Lavandou 2025

Kelly Maes (Miss Lavandou 2025), particularly radiant with a beautiful smile that did not leave the jury indifferent, Kelly Maes was elected Miss Lavandou 2025.

She is a single young woman who practices sports, loves traveling, nature, and contemplating our beautiful environment. She discovered Var at the age of 7 when her parents, of Italian origin, fell in love with Bormes-les-Mimosas and Le Lavandou and settled there.

The family circle then grew with the arrival of two boys. Kelly, now 24 years old, remembers her school and middle school years spent in this local area, which she left to pursue her studies at the Lycée Jean Aicard in Hyères. It was there that she turned towards cooking, her devouring passion.

She says: "It's a passion that has never left me since I was very little. In fact, I work seasonal shifts at the restaurant 'Côté Palmiers' in La Faviere. Since I was 16, I have also been on duty as a volunteer firefighter in Cavalaire.

Thanks to this election, I was very honored to be on the queen's float during the Corso du Lavandou, especially since this year it was built by the firefighters of Bormes - Le Lavandou." Thanks to the prize from the Ville, supplemented by a travel grant, Kelly plans to discover Vietnam.

A few days after her election, she admits to still being very moved by this crown placed on her head for a year: "I don't really realize it! What is happening to me is incredible!

" The election evening was hosted by the young presenter Alexia Klukaezewski. Coached, as they are every year, by Tatiana Bouguer (1st runner-up of Miss France 2000), the twelve candidates performed successive scenes of an 'Abracadabra' show, under the magic wand of Camille Brochot, Miss Lavandou 2024.

Thus, Camille concluded a year dense with events and festivities during which her presence and investment were highly appreciated by the public and elected officials. Then, in the great tradition of seduction and glamour, the cabaret spirit of the 'Red dingue compagnie' also joined in with four sequences: from the dawn of humanity, from antiquity to elegant marquises, to the cultural and musical richness of the 80s.

Before the swimsuit segment and a final scene in evening gowns.

To the great delight of the audience!

The winners: Ilona Mussig (1st runner-up), Chloé Illes (2nd runner-up).
