Laury Thilleman

Miss France Thilleman, who stands tall, competed as Miss Bretagne in her country's national beauty pageant, Miss France 2011, held in Caen, where she became the eventual winner of the title, gaining the right to represent France in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant.

Miss Universe Thilleman was France's contestant in Miss Universe 2011 held in São Paulo (Brazil) and ranked in top 10 (6th runner up), her 2nd runner-up in Miss France pageant, Clémence Olesky (Miss Auvergne) represented France at the Miss World pageant, held in London. In a phone interview with the newspapers Première, she had been asked what she thought about the pageant winner (Leila Lopes, Miss Angola), she replied, "She was the only girl I didn't know very well. We didn't see her much; she was very discreet. She was often in jeans and not wearing makeup. We were all surprised by her win. Many girls made efforts that were not rewarded. I don't know, something is missing in her temperament. The fact that the competition was held in Brazil surely played a role." Because of this declaration, the Washington Post made an article considering her words as scandalous, "offering some nasty, sore loser, sour grapes, culturally imperious comments about Miss Angola".

Danse avec les stars In 2013, she took part on the fourth season of French show Danse avec les stars (Dancing with the stars). She finished on seventh place with her dancing partner Maxime Dereymez. On 26 October 2013, they were eliminated finishing 7th out of 10 contestants. She also attended the first Danse avec les stars tour.
