Miss France 2025: jury, preselection, public vote… How is the winner chosen?

The new Miss France 2025 will be crowned on December 14 at Futuroscope in Poitiers. But if viewers think they are witnessing an open competition from the start of the evening, you should know that the selection process has already started well before the big day. Behind the scenes, several crucial steps have already taken place to pre-select the candidates.

15 Misses selected before the show

The first stage takes place during the preparation course, which was held this year in Ivory Coast. On this occasion, the 30 regional Misses were evaluated by the Miss France company according to strict criteria: physique, speech, behavior, and even a general knowledge test.

At the end of this phase, 15 candidates are preselected. Their identity is revealed during the televised ceremony. This means that, although all the Misses participate in the parades and evening entertainment, only the 15 selected can really claim the title.

Miss France 2025 will be elected by public vote

It is then up to the viewers and the jury to make their choice to select the five finalists from among the 15 candidates still in the running. The 100% female jury for this 2025 edition will be chaired by Sylvie Vartan. She will be surrounded by personalities such as Cristina Cordula, stylist and presenter, Flora Coquerel, Miss France 2014, the Belgian actress and comedian Nawell Madani, the dancer Fauve Hautot, the triple Olympic champion Marie-José Pérec, and the Franco-Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili.
