The candidates for the title of Miss France 2025 will finally know the verdict this Saturday. behind the scenes, the infestation almost never leaves them…
The election of Miss France 2025 is approaching, which will take place this Saturday, December 14, at the Futuroscope in Poitiers, with a live broadcast on TF1 from 9pm. Every year, the beauty pageant provides an enchanting spectacle, but also several highlights and some inconveniences. The candidates’ hiccups and misadventures are part of the game and are even the most anticipated sequences of the evening for some viewers (and that’s not very nice).
For Miss France candidates it is indeed thus necessary to manage the stress of the competition, but also the anxiety of the slightest mistake, which can turn the dream into a nightmare. Among the most feared moments is obviously the speech of the first misses selected during the evening. You will have to present yourself without stuttering and be able to stand out without falling into ridicule. But this is not the only balance of the evening.
The candidates’ other fear? Falling in the middle of a parade in front of millions of viewers. During the planning trip to Ivory Coast in November, the candidates were trained to walk like beauty queens, without fail…or almost without fail. As written The Parisianit was Maeva Coucke, Miss France 2018, who directed the “masterclass” in “catwalk” (the art of parading like a top model), advising one to “work on the foot” or the other to “transfer all the weight on the back leg”. Since you have to constantly smile and seduce, the former Miss France also recommends spotting the cameras and letting yourself go from time to time by making a face once off camera. “But don’t make a mistake to avoid an on-camera gag!”
“A scene from Miss France escapes…”, also warns Maeva Coucke. So, to avoid falling, all means are good! recommend non-slip patches under the heels. But some candidates go further and are even ready for anything, like the Figaro TV last year, like those who tie the soles to make them slip less or, better yet, cover them with wax, honey or even Coca-Cola to better adhere to the ground.
Another very popular technique: putting hairspray on the legs to give a satin look, but above all to avoid static electricity which will make the dress stick to the legs. “on the stairs of the stage they will tell you not to carry the dress up the steps holding it in your hand, don’t listen. I did it and I won anyway. Better than being on all fours and having fun on Twitter,”says Maeva Coucke also.
And to prepare for any eventuality, the candidates for Miss France also practiced falling and getting up, but always with class, ”legs parallel, closed”, so as not to “show a piece of panties”. Maeva Coucke, once again, is well positioned to give advice: during the Miss Universe 2019 competition, she fell when she slipped on a jewel that fell from a costume and remained on the floor. He will still finish in sixth place.
