Scheduled for December 14, the final of Miss France 2025, which will be broadcast this Saturday evening, promises to make a lot of noise, not so much by its exclusively female jury as by the presence of two personalities of Algerian origin at the heart of the event .
Comedian and director Nawell Madani will sit on the jury, while Sabah Aïb, Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais, could well become the first Miss of North African origin to wear the crown in France.
Who is Nawell Madani, the comedian involved in the jury?
One of the notable personalities of this 95th edition of the beauty contest is Nawell Madani, comedian and director born in Belgium to Algerian parents.
With her acclaimed shows and her successful film, Nawell quickly won over a large audience by proudly claiming her dual culture, which led her to perform in Algeria, at the Algiers Opera in 2019.
With this performance, she took up the challenge of becoming the first female comedian to perform on this stage. An adventure that marked her and that she shares in the documentary “ One, Two, Three, Nawell Madani ».
On her social networks, the actress expressed her joy at joining the jury of this new edition of Miss France: “ So proud to join the Miss France jury this year! An iconic moment, a meeting that you never miss… ».
She also took advantage of this publication to bring a little realism to the election. With her characteristic humor, Nawell Madani highlighted the gap between the glamor of the candidates and the daily reality of the spectators. “ We judge the Misses as if we were at the top of the best! », she writes.
It is with this panache and his own sensitivity that Nawell Madani will participate in electing Miss France 2025.
Sabah Aïb, Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais of Algerian origin
The other personality to be talked about is undoubtedly Sabah Aïb, the candidate who will embody diversity this December 14 on TF1. Elected Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais on October 19, the 18-year-old young woman is making a lot of noise because of her origins.
She actually has Algerian origins through her father and Moroccan origins through her mother. If his legacy is that of many young people in France, it is also a source of frustration among many of his detractors.
Sabah Aïb received congratulations from Ève Gilles, Miss France 2024 and former Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais. On paper, this strengthens his hopes of seeing the crown stay in this region.
The Sabah course nevertheless promises to be demanding. Electing a Miss France of North African origin would be a great first in the history of the competition, a first which would depend on “ the opening of the minds of the French », underlined Anne-Sophie Sevrette, regional delegate of the Miss France Nord-Pas-de-Calais committee.
Sabah Aïb is undoubtedly a candidate who redefines the contours of French beauty. With her tanned complexion, her golden curls and her light eyes, she stands out from the standards of the Miss France candidates, who will number 30 this year.
Although she received an outpouring of hatred and critical messages since her election last October, Sabah Aïb remains determined and says she is ready to take up the challenge: “ I will do everything possible to ensure that the crown remains in Nord-Pas-de-Calais ».
The meeting on December 14 promises to mark the history of the Miss France event.
