Laura Tanguy (born 2 August 1987 in Angers) is a French model and beauty pageant titleholder who was awarded second runner-up of Miss France 2008,[1] having lost to Valérie Bègue in the official scoring. She also competed for the regional preliminary qualifiers for Miss France 2009, and campaigned to represent France at the Miss World and Miss Universe competitions, wishing to recall Valérie Bègue, after suggestive photos were leaked in a magazine two weeks after her coronation.[2]
Tanguy is the daughter of an engineer and a laboratory assistant in physics and chemistry. She fluently speaks both French and English, having lived in San Antonio up until her adolescence. During her time in France, Tanguy has lived in Écouflant, a town near Angers. She holds an Economic and Social Baccalaureate (Bac d'ES)[fr] (the equivalent of a US high school diploma), and is currently studying at the School of Nursing of Angers.
Tanguy is 5'10" and has green eyes.[3]
