It’s an unmissable end-of-year event. On Saturday December 14, the thirty contenders for the title of Miss France 2025 will parade at the Futuroscope in Poitiers (Vienna). Like last year, it's a jury made up of 100% women who will be responsible, in part, for crowning the successor of Ève Gilles, Miss France 2024.
For this 95th edition, TF1 chose to name Sylvie Vartan in the role of president of the jury. At 80 years old, this event will be one of the last dances for the singer who is preparing to bow out, after her series of concerts which she began giving at the beginning of November.
A welcome end to her career for those who say they are starting to get tired. “I tell myself that I can't continue like this, this crazy life, for 20 years. We're not getting any younger and anything can happen,” the artist confided to RTL. “When I started, I didn't think I would have a career. I remember very well someone telling me, 'listen, you're just starting out, but you'll see, you'll have a career that will last until 80 years old”. I say to myself “anything”. And there I am,” she said.
Fashion, sport and art
Sylvie Vartan will be accompanied by a former Miss France, in the person of Flora Coquerel, elected third runner-up to Miss Universe in 2015. The two women therefore find themselves once again on the set of Miss France: Sylvie Vartan was already part of the jury during the coronation of Flora Coquerel, in 2014.
Cristina Cordula, another former beauty queen and now converted to TV animation, will also be responsible for voting for the next Miss France.
The sporting side will be represented by Marie-José Pérec, three-time Olympic athletics champion (over 400 m in 1992 and 1996 and over 200 m in 1996). The former queen of French sport was selected to be the last torchbearer of the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony of the Paris Games. “My legs were like cotton. It was truly something incredible, it was magical, grandiose,” she confided on RTL after the Games.
The art world will also be well represented in this Miss France jury. Comedian and host Nawell Madani et the dancer and choreographer Fauve Hautot will also be there.
Finally, Khatia Buniatishvili, Georgian pianist naturalized French in 2017completes this jury. This brilliant musician quickly imposed herself on the public consciousness through the intrepidity she demonstrated on stage and in the studio.
