Aufeminin had the chance to accompany Eve Gilles and the 30 regional misses to Ivory Coast for the preparatory trip to the election which will take place on December 14 at Futuroscope. At the end of this week and after the broadcast of the first images of the candidates' portraits, I reveal to you my prediction for the election.
Eve Gilles and the 30 regional misses candidates for the Miss France 2025 election embarked on a preparatory trip toa week in Ivory Coast. The opportunity for the contenders to learn the workings of this election from the entire team that will surround the future crowned one. Like a real summer camp, this stay is really essential because it allows the Miss France committee to evaluate the potential of each girl and to partly determine the famous top 15. And yes! If all the candidates are presented on election night, the first part of the competition takes place a little before December 14.

An exceptional jury made up of 7 women will participate in finding the one who will succeed Eve Gilles: Sylvie Vartan, who will be the president of this edition, the triple Olympic champion Marie-José Pérec, the dancer and choreographer Khatia Buniatishvili, the comedian Nawall Madani, the former Miss France 2014 Flora Coquerel, the stylist Cristina Cordula and the dancer Fauve Hautot.
Eve Gilles, Diane Leyre and Maëva Coucke with the regional misses
To prepare as best as possible, they have the right to a shock schedule. In addition to discovering the beauty of the Ivory Coast, they were able to participate in 3 precious masterclasses: a Make up course with Arnaud Sol Dourdin, the official make-up artist of the misses, but also a catwalk with Maëva Coucke, queen of the fashion shows and finally, a big new addition to this edition, an exchange on eloquence with Diane Leyre.

Obviously, during this rich week, the 30 misses also took part in the General Knowledge test and the swimsuit shoot. Eve Gilles, who is preparing to hand over her crown, surrounded them with her kindness, in a palpable spirit of sisterhood.
Miss France 2025: Aufeminin's prediction
After a week of sharing time with the candidates, each with their own personality and strengths, a top 5 emerges. Obviously, many things are taken into account in addition to beauty, such as ease of expressing oneself, management of social networks and others that are much more subjective!

Clara Diry, Miss Bourgogne
Why her? Clara Diry has all the potential of a Miss France. With her false appearance of Rachel Legrain-Trapani, she can also count on her big sister Sophiethird runner-up in the 2020 election, to advise her. Simple and natural, she shines during the group highlights, and in particular the swimsuit shoot during which her look captivated us. She did part of her studies abroad: her mastery of a foreign language is an important asset when thinking about what comes next, with international competitions like Miss Universe.
His weak point? During eloquence lessons, Diane asked him to be even more assertive. Verdict on the evening of the competition.

Lilou Emeline-Artuso, Miss Côte d’Azur
Why her? She's arguably the most obvious beauty candidate, with features that almost look like they were made using AI. However, this young woman from Mandelieu-la-Napoule is very real and relies on her naturalness on election night. Determined (a quality which undoubtedly comes from her father, a former professional basketball player), she remains no less touching, as during Diane Leyre's masterclass where emotion invaded her. With these fragilities and her angelic face, she is a real candidate to succeed Eve Gilles.
His weak point? Let her lose her means if she gets to the speech stage.

Temanava Domingo, Miss Tahiti
Why her? Quite simply because she is ready. When you talk to Miss Tahiti, you already think you're talking to a Miss France. The speech is rehearsed, the self-confidence assumed despite some marks of shyness and the desire bursts through the screen. She also received great support from her committee and a coach to best prepare her for this role. Obviously, her beauty goes without saying and her aura is palpable when she's in the room.
His weak point? Very prepared, she could forget her spontaneity on D-day and reach the public less.

Stella Vangioni, Miss Corsica
Why her? She is one of those whose beauty is unanimously appreciated. But behind this piercing look hides a serious candidate. Known as an actress thanks to a role in the series Un si grand soleil, she also stands out for her great ease in public and her openness to the world (her parents were ambassadors). The icing on the cake is that she is preparing to launch her swimsuit brand, which she did not fail to highlight during the swimsuit shoot.
His weak point? Since the 1920s, no Miss Corsica has been crowned. Will the island of beauty wake up and vote this year?

Sabah Aib, Miss Nord-pas-de-Calais
Why her? The most followed candidate on social networks, Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais suffered a wave of inappropriate comments during her election due to her origin. But her way of handling criticism, at the age of 18, is more than honorable and demonstrates great strength of character, necessary to take on the role of Miss France. Supported by a large region, which votes en masse, it is one of the big favorites. Are we going to witness the coronation of two northerners in a row?
His weak point? Among the youngest in her class, she perhaps has a little less experience than other candidates.

BONUS: Angélique Angarni-Filopon, Miss Martinique
Why her? We loved this sparkling candidate, with a truly inspiring journey. At 34, she is the first thirty-year-old candidate in the Miss France adventure and yet, she has the freshness of a young first. But behind her features as if frozen in time, life has not spared her and yet it is with a smile that she faces the trials. Many women could identify with Miss Martinique and celebrate the arrival of a unique Miss France.
His weak point? Despite her cheerful appearances, she may lack confidence in her ability to truly go for the crown. The way he handles his stress on D-Day will be crucial.

The other serious candidates for the Miss France 2025 election
Obviously, nothing is decided in advance and a misstep or a revelation can occur on the evening of the show. Among the other candidates who caught our attention, we are thinking in particular of Miss Midi-Pyrénées and Miss Aquitaine, who could create a sensation. Miss Guyana and her fiery temperament also made an impression. With her pretty eyes and her exceptional score on the general knowledge test, Miss Picardie should not be dismissed too quickly either.
After a week in the company of these young women, they all deserve to be saluted for the courage to come forward and participate in such an event. Their preparation is worthy of the greatest athletes, with a frantic pace. No matter which regional miss will be elected Miss France 2025, aufeminin will support her during her year of reign.
