A highly symbolic interlude following the Miss World journey. Fatima Koné was received on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, by the First Lady of Côte d’Ivoire, Dominique Ouattara, in her offices in Cocody.

Miss Côte d’Ivoire 2025 was accompanied by her runners-up and Victor Yapobi, president of the Miss Côte d’Ivoire Committee (COMICI). At the heart of this meeting: her journey in the Miss World competition held in Vietnam and the continuation of her reign under the Ivorian colors.

Fatima Koné moved by the support of Dominique Ouattara

Dominique Ouattara, godmother of the COMICI, praised the young woman’s international journey and renewed her encouragement for the future. A gesture that clearly moved Fatima Koné.

In front of the media, the beauty queen admitted to being surprised by this audience and emphasized the value of the support received: “I did not expect this.” She also thanked the COMICI, her close ones, and the Ivorian public who have supported her since her election.

A new highlight after Miss World 2026

This hearing takes place a few days after the Miss World 2026 final in Vietnam. Fatima Koné did not advance past the first round of the competition, but her participation generated significant attention in Côte d’Ivoire, with fan mobilization and commentary surrounding her various appearances.

The meeting in Cocody now offers a more intimate moment: that of a Miss returned to her country, supported by the patron of the national contest and already focused on the next stage of her public journey.
