The 30 candidates for the Miss France 2025 election donned their most beautiful bikinis for a photo shoot in Ivory Coast. But for one of them, this shooting was particularly painful.
On a preparation trip to Ivory Coast since mid-November, the contenders for the Miss France 2025 crown have been carrying out a series of activities: visits, cultural and sporting activities, humanitarian operations, group sessions, coaching, intensive beauty workshops, beauty classes, catwalk (or the art of walking like a top model), general knowledge test and of course, the essential swimsuit photo shoot. Photos that are always eagerly awaited, as much as criticized, which were revealed this week.
Several media including 20 Minutes described how the valuable session was organized. The 30 candidates for the Miss France election gathered on a dream beach bordering the splendid gardens of the Sofitel hotel in Abidjan, under the hot Ivorian sun, for this essential step before the big competition. Each was photographed wearing the swimsuit of their choice, brought back in their luggage. A way to better highlight your personality, but also to make the trip a little more eco-friendly, with fewer second-hand clothes to make and transport. The Misses, however, wore the same swimsuit for the group photo.
But this year, the shoot was not easy for the misses, as the free newspaper reveals. Several of them suffered minor injuries. Cassiopée Rimbaud, who was elected Miss Roussillon during the year, was the first to experience a mishap, since she began to suffer from “big cramps” behind her calf. But it was Miss Reunion who undoubtedly suffered the most from this decidedly eventful shoot.
The Réunionnaise Marine Futol, although accustomed to wild beaches, indeed experienced a little nightmare. She scratched her foot while stepping on a fish bone on the beach. And it's probably a little more than a little injury from which the 20-year-old young woman suffered, since she finally had to be “pushed into a wheelchair to rest her bruised arch”, writes 20 Minutes. Forced to wait apart from the group for a good part of the session, she was finally able to rejoin her comrades at the last moment, with her bandage masked, time for the emblematic photo.
The incident will fortunately have no impact on the continuation of the Miss France adventure for Marine Futol. The law student, elected on August 27, should indeed represent her island at Futuroscope on December 14. And we hope for her without limping during the various fashion shows…
