The jury chaired by Sylvie Vartan
Chaired this year by the singer Sylvie Vartan, the Miss France 2025 jury, once again 100% female, brings together the Olympic champion Marie-José Pérec, the host and stylist Cristina Cordula, the dancer Fauve Hautot, the comedian Nawell Madani, the pianist Khatia Buniatishvili and ex-Miss France Flora Coquerel.
