 Hinarani de Longeaux, "Miss Tahiti" and Miss France 2013 First Runner Up will represent France at the Miss Universe 2013 Pageant in December

In SASHES AND TIARAS News, this past week, the "Miss France" representative for the "Miss Universe 2013" pageant has finally been announced and she is...

Hinarani de Longeaux. de Longeaux competed as "Miss Tahiti" in the "Miss France 2013" competition last December and ended up as the 1st runner-up (the winner was "Miss Bourgone", the lovely Marine Lorphelin.)  It was not known until now who would officially be selected to represent her country at the Miss Universe 2013 pageant this December, according to Comite Miss France president Sylvie Tellier.

22-year old Hinarani comes from Papeete, and stands 1.79 m tall (5' 10 1/2").  Tellier announced that the current Miss France Marine Lorphelin will represent the country in Miss World (scheduled for September in Indonesia), and that the Miss France 2014 competition will be held in Dijon on December 7th, which would clash for the dates set for the Miss Universe competition, therefore the announcement was made that Hinarani would be heading to the Miss Universe Pageant! Lucky girl!!

Hinarami is absolutely STUNNING, as you can see from these photos; very exotic, statuesque and has the perfect blend of Model/Beauty Pageant Girl quality to go far in the "Miss Universe" competition. Bonne Chance, as the French say. I think she's "one of the ones to watch" for this year's "Miss Universe" pageant.
