Diane Leyre (born 10 July 1997) is a French radio personality, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss France 2022.
[1] Her father is a real estate developer, originally from the Gard department in Languedoc-Roussillon, who moved to Paris for better opportunities, while her mother is a former flight attendant.
[7][5] After graduating, Leyre settled in Paris and began working with the real estate development company Jadley, based in the 7th arrondissement.
During the competition, she received media attention for using a baguette as an accessory for her regional costume, and for stumbling on stage in her evening gown.
[16][17][18] At the end of the pageant, Leyre was declared the winner, being crowned by outgoing titleholder Amandine Petit of Normandy, becoming the sixteenth woman from Île-de-France to win the title.
Among these events included being a contestant in Fort Boyard, a guest at the 2022 French Open and 2022 Cannes Film Festival, and working as a promotional model in cities such as Barcelona.
Leyre released a statement stating that she would not compete internationally as she did not have enough time to prepare for the pageants, due to her schedule as the incumbent Miss France titleholder.
