Miss France 2025: All-Female Jury Announced
The Miss France Society has confirmed that the 2025 election will feature an all-female jury, continuing the trend established in previous years. The event is set to take place on December 14, 2024, at the Futuroscope Arena in Poitiers, France. Leading the jury will be iconic singer Sylvie Vartan, who will take on the role of president. Vartan, an emblematic figure in French music, is preparing for her farewell concerts in January 2025, marking the end of her illustrious career.
Joining Vartan on the jury are notable figures from various fields, including triple Olympic champion Marie-José Pérec, who is celebrated for her achievements in athletics, and Cristina Córdula, a well-known stylist and former television presenter. The jury will also include dancer and actress Fauve Hautot, comedian Nawell Madani, and Franco-Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili. Completing the lineup is Flora Coquerel, a former Miss France, who expressed her excitement about participating in the event 11 years after her own election.
A Celebration of Femininity and Talent
The theme for this year's election is
The Grand Ball of the Misses,
and it promises to be a glamorous evening celebrating femininity and talent. The event will be hosted by Jean-Pierre Foucault, alongside Cindy Fabre, the director of the national competition. The broadcast will be live on TF1, allowing viewers to witness the crowning of the new Miss France, who will represent the nation for the upcoming year.
A Tradition of Empowerment
This marks the third consecutive year that the Miss France committee has opted for an all-female jury, a decision that reflects a commitment to empowering women in the beauty pageant industry. Previous all-female juries have included a diverse range of personalities, and this year's selection continues that trend, ensuring a rigorous and fair evaluation of the 30 candidates vying for the title. The public will also play a significant role in the selection process, as the voting will be split 50/50 between the jury and the audience.
