Alicia is from Frence Guiana, which is a French territory located in South America. Hence there were many who went ahead and said that French Guiana is not France, and the woman who represents France should be Caucasian. Alicia, who is a first year law student, is the first representative of French Guiana to win the Miss France competition. But it looks like the 18 year old beauty is least bothered about all the controversial remark and has instead decided to keep her calm about the whole matter.

Alicia kept her grace and poise and replied, “People may need to see a Miss France of color. I represent the overseas, it is a matter of pride for me.” Alicia is more focused on her training and aims to make the best out of the time that she has to prepare herself for next year. The beauty queen has decided to focus on all the positivity and ignore the negative remarks.
