Émilie Barchetta was 28 when info-lux.com introduced her, in December 2024, as a contestant for Miss Moselle 2025. She works in sports events and is a partner in a communications and marketing agency specialising in sport.
She has lived in Hagondange for a year. For her, taking on this adventure is a personal challenge: pushing herself is part of her life, through her job, her passion for sport and her wish to step out of her comfort zone.
First runner-up in Semécourt
On 9 March 2024, at the Aushopping shopping centre in Semécourt, she is contestant no. 2 in Miss Semécourt 2024, at the age of 27. Ilona Parison is crowned; Émilie Barchetta is her first runner-up, ahead of Emma Florean.
On 13 April 2024, she competes in Miss Moselle 2024 as no. 1, in the shopping arcade of the Leclerc in Sarrebourg. Amélia Bur wins the title. At her previous pageant, she met someone who has become a true friend.
Sport for everyone
She wants to encourage people in her département to make sport part of their daily lives, whatever their age or level, and to put local athletes in the spotlight. On the day of the Miss Moselle 2025 pageant, info-lux.com presented her as a fitness and pole dance enthusiast: sport has given her a huge boost in self-confidence.
It’s a bit funny to say, but I’m currently training to become a mental coach in sport. So I apply the techniques for handling stress and pressure in this kind of competition.

Speaking out about school bullying
The cause she wants to support above all is the fight against bullying at school, which she experienced herself. She wants to break the silence on the subject, encourage young people to report it without fear, and promote respect, empathy and listening at school.
Being a Miss means, in a way, being a source of inspiration, and I would be honoured to put my energy and passion at the service of my region!

Fashion, history and the Moselle
She studied for a vocational baccalaureate in fashion and clothing, and fashion plays a central part in her daily life. Her style seeks a balance between simplicity and sophistication, comfort and elegance.
A history enthusiast, she recommends the Maginot Line, followed by Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Metz. Her mother is her first supporter in the adventure, along with her family and friends.
On 21 December 2024, at the B’est shopping centre in Farébersviller, she is contestant no. 6 in Miss Moselle 2025. Nina Damblant wins the title.
