Location
In December 2023, it was reported that Jean Bodart, the mayor of Dunkirk, would apply for the city to host the 2025 edition of Miss France.[2][3] Reigning titleholder Eve Gilles was born in Dunkirk, and it is customary for the home region of the reigning Miss France to host the subsequent edition of the competition.[4]
On 10 September 2024, the Miss France Committee announced that the pageant would be held on 14 December 2024 at the Futuroscope Arena, located within the communes of Chasseneuil-du-Poitou and Jaunay-Clan in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes, near the city of Poitiers.[5][6] This will be the third time that the Futuroscope will host the pageant, following Miss France 2007 and Miss France 1997.[7]
On 16 October, it was announced that the annual overseas trip for the delegates would be to Côte d'Ivoire. The delegates will visit Côte d'Ivoire for a variety of events, before returning to France to begin rehearsals.[8][9]
Selection of contestants
The 2025 contestants were selected through regional pageants, held between June and October 2024.
The 2025 edition will see the return of Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy, which competes on a biennial basis, and the withdrawal of New Caledonia.[10] While New Caledonia had initially intended to compete, they were unable to organize a regional pageant due to the ongoing political unrest.[11][12]

Scoring
Preliminaries
A jury composed of partners (internal and external) of the Miss France Committee selected fifteen delegates during an interview that took place on 11 December to advance to the semifinals.[15]
Top 15
In the top fifteen, a 50/50 split vote between the official jury and voting public selected five delegates to advance to the top five. Each delegate was awarded an overall score of 1 to 15 from the jury and public, and the five delegates with the highest combined scores advanced to the top five. The delegates with the sixth and seventh highest combined scores were afterwards designated as the fifth and sixth runners-up, respectively, despite not advancing in the competition. In the case of a tie, the jury vote prevailed.

Format
On 15 November, it was announced in a press conference that the theme for this edition of the competition would be le grand bal des Miss (English: The Misses' grand ball), with competition rounds being inspired by various types of dance.[17]
The competition opened with an introduction performance, featuring a guest appearance from Eve Gilles and several other Miss France titleholders. The 30 contestants were then separated into three groups, each consisting of ten contestants, with each group taking part in an initial presentation round. The three presentation rounds were themed after twist, country-western, and prom, respectively. Afterwards, the 30 contestants presented their regional costumes, created by local designers from their home regions, in a round inspired by firefighters' ball. The 30 contestants subsequently participated in the one-piece swimsuit round, inspired by 1990s music.
After that, the Top 15 were announced. The Top 15 then competed in an evening gown round inspired by tango and a second swimsuit round inspired by salsa. Afterwards, the Top 5 were announced and presented their ball gowns in a round inspired by classical ballet. After the final question round, the final results were revealed.[18]
