Naïla Parotte is the new Miss Saint Martin/Saint Barthélemy. Candidate number 8 won the votes of both the public and the jury on Saturday, August 1, during the pageant held at Aleeze Convention Hall in Sint Maarten.
Competing against seven other candidates, the 22-year-old Saint Martiner stood out for her confidence, elegance and determination. She also received the photogenic and social media awards.
A return that ended in victory
Born in Saint Martin in 2004, Naïla Parotte grew up on the island. She holds a qualification in accounting and management and now works as a manager for an automotive brand while continuing to pursue modelling.
The win is particularly meaningful. After first entering the regional pageant in 2024, she returned two years later with more experience. It proved to be the right decision for a young woman who had also made her mark in the Top Model Europe Caribbean competition.
The final results
Darina Laurent was named first runner-up, followed by Luna Kassa Dalmasso as second runner-up. Vanille Bonneau and Samantha Laurent completed the final lineup as third and fourth runners-up.
The evening celebrated iconic women in hats, with tributes to figures including Geneviève de Fontenay, Brigitte Bardot, Nefertiti and Kate Middleton. Miss France 2025 Angélique Angarni-Filopon attended the crowning ceremony.
Next stop: Miss France 2027
Naïla Parotte succeeds Sasha Bique and will now carry the colours of Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy onto the national stage. She will join the other regional titleholders at the Miss France 2027 pageant in December 2026.
A new period of preparation now begins for the Saint Martiner, with a much bigger goal ahead: representing the Northern Islands before a nationwide audience.
