The Miss France 2025 election is set to take place on December 14, 2024, at the Futuroscope in Poitiers, featuring 30 candidates vying for the prestigious title. This year marks the 95th edition of the competition, with the theme "The Grand Ball of the Misses," showcasing choreographed performances inspired by various dance styles.
Criteria and Selection Process
To compete for the title, candidates must meet specific criteria: they must be female, possess French nationality, be over 18 years old, stand at least 1.70 meters tall, and have a clean criminal record. Notably, the competition has evolved to include transgender candidates and has relaxed previous restrictions regarding marital status and tattoos. The selection process involves a pre-selection jury that evaluates candidates based on interviews, general knowledge tests, and parades in evening gowns and swimsuits. The top 15 semi-finalists will be announced before the public voting begins, with the final ranking determined by a combination of public and jury votes.
Candidates and Their Backgrounds
Among the candidates, notable figures include Marina Przadka from Picardy, who excelled in the general knowledge test with a score of 15.5/20, and Assia Roosz-Tomenti from Lorraine, who is the tallest contestant at 1.86 meters. The youngest candidate is Tiffanny Haie from Centre-Val de Loire, aged 18, while the oldest is Angélique Angarni-Filopon from Martinique, aged 34. The competition has seen some changes, including the absence of Miss New Caledonia due to ongoing social and political issues.
Voting and Prizes
Public voting will commence after the announcement of the semi-finalists, allowing viewers to vote via SMS or phone calls. The winner of Miss France 2025 will receive a salary comparable to that of a senior executive, along with various prizes, including a luxury apartment in Paris and gifts from sponsors. The event will be broadcast live on TF1, with Jean-Pierre Foucault hosting for the 30th time, continuing a legacy that began in 1995.
