Giselle Jeanne-Marie Laronde-West (born October 23, 1963) is a Trinidadian model, Stenographer and beauty queen who won Miss World 1986, representing Trinidad and Tobago.

In her early 20s, while Giselle was working at a local credit union, many of her friends and family encouraged her to enter the Miss World contest because they said she looked the part and had the personality.

She also considered herself a "tom-boy"; "never glamorous, never ever a girly-girl or getting her nails and hair done..." Family therefore had to prod, they encourage her to attend the Miss World auditions held in the nation's capital, Port-of-Spain, which was the last day to be eligible for the contest.

After winning the Miss World title she used her prize money to attend the Goldsmiths College, University of London[4] where she completed a degree in Sociology and Communication.

Giselle continues to live in her homeland of Trinidad and Tobago where she is the Executive Manager Customer Experience with the national carrier Caribbean Airlines.
