Miss France 2025 Candidates Surprise Appearance on 'Star Academy'
The latest episode of 'Star Academy' aired on TF1 on November 15, 2024, and was filled with unexpected moments, culminating in the surprise appearance of the 30 candidates for Miss France 2025. This marked a historic first, as the entire class of candidates showcased their talents on national television during Ulysse's performance of 'Dis-moi' by BB Brunes. The candidates, representing various regions from Côte d'Azur to Nord-Pas-de-Calais, danced around Ulysse, creating a vibrant atmosphere on stage.
The candidates had arrived in Paris earlier that week for their official photoshoot and press presentation, which took place at the TF1 group headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt. Cassiopée Rimbaud, Miss Roussillon 2024, expressed her excitement on social media, reflecting on her journey from attending a 'Star Academy' concert to being a candidate. Sabah Aib, representing Nord-Pas-de-Calais, described the experience as 'unforgettable.' The candidates are set to travel to the Ivory Coast for their traditional preparation trip ahead of the final election on December 14 at the Futuroscope Arena near Poitiers.
A Night of Surprises and Performances
The 'Star Academy' episode was not only about the Miss France candidates but also featured numerous surprises for the students. Throughout the evening, various guests, including family members of the contestants, made special appearances, enhancing the emotional atmosphere. For instance, Marine was surprised by her brothers while performing with Julien Doré, and Maureen reunited with her boyfriend during her duet with Aliocha Schneider.
The head of the Miss France company, Frédéric Gilbert, announced that the upcoming final will be styled as a 'grand ball,' incorporating dance elements reminiscent of 'Dancing with the Stars.' This new format will challenge the candidates to showcase their dancing skills alongside their beauty pageant talents, adding an exciting twist to the competition.
