Who will be Miss France 2025? The competition is organized this Saturday, December 14. And for weeks, the candidates have multiplied the messages and declarations to stand out…
The 30 candidates for the Miss France 2025 competition have been known since October, after the wave of regional miss elections across the country. This Saturday, December 14, they will all be gathered at Futuroscope in Poitiers for the big election, broadcast like every year live on TF1. Previously, a preparation trip was planned in mid-November, to Ivory Coast, with its traditional photos of the candidates in breathtaking landscapes, without forgetting the essential album of misses in swimsuits…
Miss France 2025 will then succeed Eve Gilles, chosen last year to become Miss France 2024. And to get there, the parades and speeches in mid-December on television are no longer enough. You have to stand out well before the big night. So the misses have been working for several weeks on social networks and in the press to give the best image of themselves. Interventions during which most of them are quick to highlight their character, to defend the widow and the orphan, or to display their hard work in the service of associations and other noble causes.
This year again, several candidates for the title of Miss France are also trying to play the feminist card or to highlight a particular physical characteristic, or even an assumed defect. After the “Miss with short hair”, Eve Gilles, elected last year, the smallest detail can indeed become an argument to win the precious crown. Big feet, advanced age, afro cut, dual nationality… will perhaps be arguments to make the difference.
Age, origins, professions… Misses in search of the detail that kills
Among the candidates to follow this year, we find Tiffany Haie, Miss Centre-Val de Loire, who, at just 18 years old, is the youngest in the competition and undoubtedly hopes to become one of the youngest Miss France in history. Conversely, Miss Martinique claims her “advanced” age of 33 (if you’re over 35, don’t laugh). Angélique Angarni-Filopon also assures that she feels “very good” about her age, which she sees “as an advantage” and says she gets along “very well with people aged 19 and 77…
In addition to age, origins can also be highlighted, as with Sabah Aib, who dreams of bringing home victory in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, as has been the case many times in recent years. The local press has already been enthusiastic about this young law student and model of Algerian origin on her father’s side and Moroccan on her mother’s side, believing that she could become the “first Miss France with North African origins”. Sabah Aib denounced at the end of October a wave of racist messages received after his regional election. Another candidate, Isabella Hebert, Miss Alsace 2024, highlighted her dual nationality. The 20-year-old Franco-Colombian also threw herself body and soul into the competition.
Some misses also have jobs that are worth the detour, like Romane Agostinho, Miss Auvergne, who presents herself as a professional “animal osteopath”. Thanks to this strange vocation, she says she has cared for “all the animals” and even a llama, an eagle or a duck. The Miss France competition will also be under the supervision of a gendarmette, a first for a candidate. Manon Le Maou, Miss Franche-Comté, is in fact a non-commissioned officer and has worked in barracks in Alsace, Île-de-France and Corsica. A job that allows her to “help people in difficulty”, she explained, but which also exposes her to risks, like the day when she almost lost her life when she refused to comply. .
Misses who have experienced drama or difficult moments are obviously legion. Among them, Miss Roussillon told everywhere that she had been struck by aggravated mononucleosis just before the competition and had been urgently hospitalized. His dream came close to being dashed, with doctors authorizing him to join the group at the last minute.
Claimed haircut and assumed old complex
But for Miss France, physique is obviously an important criterion. Like Eve Gilles last year, some will try to find the detail that kills during the competition. This is the case of Julie Dupont, Miss Île-de-France, who decided to display an impressive afro cut. The one who says she doesn’t have “the tongue in her pocket” said she wanted, with her hair, to “represent a category of women that we don’t often see in the competition.” Other misses rather play the card of the assumed physical defect or the old complex overcome with courage.
Assia Roosz-Tomenti, Miss Lorraine, is one of the tallest misses in the history of the competition with her 1.86m. If she said she suffered from her size in the past, she now wants to “wear it well and represent it well”. Same thing for Miss Pays de la Loire, alias Mélissa Atta Bessiom. In addition to her height (1.81m), this 25-year-old project manager who works at Louis Vuitton says she has long suffered from… her big feet (she wears size 43)! A characteristic that this sportswoman of Cameroonian origins, practicing boxing, Pilates and who was captain of an Angers volleyball team, will perhaps also claim on Saturday. Even if it means putting your foot down.
