Miss France 2025: who will succeed Ève Gilles?
She was one of the unexpected guests of an obligatory part of the adventure. Diane Leyre flew to Ivory Coast with the 30 candidates for Miss France 2025 in an essential role. Leading her own masterclass during the beauty queen preparation trip, Miss France 2022 gave eloquence lessons to young women who, for the most part, have never spoken to the media.
Obvious for the Parisian who, at the end of her reign, had set herself the objective of helping “especially the younger generation” to speak in public with confidence. “I was comfortable speaking before my election, but a few years earlier, it was much more complicated. I vomited before speaking in public for a presentation”she told us two years ago.
Competition regulars know this. All it takes is one failed speech to see all his chances of winning the crown disappear on the evening of the election, which takes place on December 16 in Poitiers on the theme of dance. Note that each year, the Miss France audience peaks when the 15 semi-finalists take the microphone for the first time. An accessory to hold “always with one hand”insists Diane Leyre who shares with Internet users what she revealed to the contenders for the succession of Ève Gilles. “In a speech, everything plays a role: the tone, the silence, the pauses” but also “posture”she insists in a video shared on Miss France’s Instagram channel.

“We stand straight, we project our voice. The goal is to speak to an audience”she assures. To answer a question, Diane Leyre favors “the rule of the three Ps: main point, proof, final point. Short and effective, that's the key.” “The simplest thing is to stay natural. Don't try to do too much. The more you use words you don't know, the more you're going to get lost. That's how you start blanks, because that you no longer know where you are going. Don't forget the main idea of a speech.”adds the Francilienne who gives a final recommendation: “Never let yourself be disturbed by external elements.” Starting with the applause from the audience at the Futuroscope Arena which will increase in intensity throughout the evening on December 16.
