Miss France 2024 was the 94th edition of the Miss France pageant, held at the Zénith de Dijon in Dijon, France, on 16 December 2023. Indira Ampiot of Guadeloupe crowned Eve Gilles of Nord Pas-de-Calais as her successor at the end of the event.

The 2024 edition marked the first time Sylvie Tellier has not served as a co-presenter of the show since joining the production for Miss France 2009, following her departure from Miss France at the conclusion of Miss France 2023, in addition to the first edition since the death of Geneviève de Fontenay, the president of the Miss France Committee from 1981 to 2007. The 2024 edition was also the final edition of Miss France under the leadership of president Alexia Laroche-Joubert, who departed following the conclusion of the pageant.[1]

Background

Location

In December 2022, François Rebsamen, the mayor of Dijon and president of the Dijon Métropole, the most-populous city of Burgundy, confirmed that the city had applied to host the Miss France 2024 competition.[2] In June 2023, it was reported by Le Bien Public that the 2024 competition would likely be held at the Zénith de Dijon in Dijon, although this was not yet confirmed by the Miss France Committee.[3][4] Le Bien Public confirmed later that month that the competition would indeed be held at the Zénith de Dijon.[5] Miss France Committee president Alexia Laroche-Joubert later confirmed in an interview on 1 July that the pageant would be held on 16 December 2023 in Dijon, while a press conference to officially announce the host city was held on 3 July.[6][7] This marked the second time that the city had hosted Miss France, having previously hosted Miss France 2014.[5][7]

On 15 July, it was confirmed that the annual overseas trip for the delegates would be to French Guiana. The delegates visited French Guiana for a variety of events, before arriving in Dijon to begin rehearsals.[8][9][10]

Selection of contestants

The 2024 contestants were selected through regional pageants, held between June and October 2023.[11]

The 2024 edition saw the return of Mayotte, following the appointment of a new regional director.[12] Mayotte had previously withdrawn prior to the 2023 edition, due to the resignation of the regional director and inability to find a replacement.[13] Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy, which competes on a biennial basis, withdrew from the competition in line with their typical schedule of only competing every other year.

A controversy occurred regarding the Miss New Caledonia 2023 pageant, held on 9 September. During the pageant, Mathilda Lelong was crowned the winner, and following her win began her media tour throughout the region in preparation for Miss France.[14] On 13 September, it was reported that Lelong had not actually won the pageant, and due to an error in tabulating the results had actually placed as the third runner-up, while the real winner was Emma Grousset, whom had initially been announced as just the second runner-up.[15][16] Following the news of the error, the Miss France Committee confirmed its validity in a press release, while the Miss New Caledonia Committee later clarified that the error had occurred while entering the scores of the jury after the top four had been announced, and that the national Miss France Committee would decide how to proceed.[17] On 15 September, the Miss France Committee confirmed that Grousset would be crowned Miss New Caledonia 2023 and compete at Miss France 2024.[18] Following the incident, Lelong stated in an interview that she would resign her newly awarded title as third runner-up to Miss New Caledonia.[19]

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 13 December to advance to the semifinals.

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.

Pageant

Format

On 17 November, it was announced in a press conference that the theme for this edition of the competition would be la boîte à musique des Miss (English: The Misses' music box), with competition rounds being inspired by various genres of music.[27]

The competition opened with an introduction performance, featuring a guest appearance from Indira Ampiot. 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 1980s pop music, salsa music, and rock music, respectively. Afterwards, the 30 contestants presented their regional costumes, created by local designers from their home regions, in a round inspired by music halls and the Moulin Rouge, featuring guest appearances from Clémence Botino, Maëva Coucke, and Amandine Petit. The 30 contestants subsequently participated in the one-piece swimsuit round, inspired by 1930s music and big band.

After that, the Top 15 were announced, followed by a tribute to Geneviève de Fontenay featuring former Miss France titleholders. The Top 15 then competed in a second swimsuit round inspired by flamenco and an evening gown round inspired by Motown music. Afterwards, the Top 5 were announced and presented their ball gowns in a round inspired by opera. After the final question round, the final results were revealed.[28]

Judges

On 17 November, Sylvie Tellier was announced as the president of the jury, having served as the national director for Miss France from 2007 to 2022.[29] The remainder of the judges were announced on 1 December.[30]
