Garance Authié
Long bio

Garance Authié was named Miss Universe France 2026 on 18 October 2026. The title makes her France’s representative at Miss Universe 2026, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 24 November 2026.

She walked her first show at the age of nine, and closed it alongside the designer. She passed her baccalauréat with honours at 17, studied in Madrid and the United States, then completed a master’s in management in London, all while building a modelling career in France and abroad.

Classical dance, riding, piano, fashion, art, entrepreneurship, finance: she has never kept to a single world, and is as drawn to running a business as to fashion and art. She is fluent in French and English, speaks Spanish well and has some Italian. Based in Paris, she stays close to the sea: scuba diving, sailing and travel keep her balanced and sharpen her commitment to protecting the environment.

Her cause is the freedom to choose your own path. She wants to encourage young women to believe in what they can do and to take their chances, by supporting work on careers guidance, self-confidence and entrepreneurship.
