In less than a month, the French will elect their new ambassador. Indeed, it is on December 11 that Amandine Petit will hand over her crown in her hometown of Caen in Normandy. Before flying to Reunion Island for their preparatory trip, the 29 contenders for Miss France presented themselves at the press conference this Wednesday, November 17, 2021 in the premises of TF1 and to which Purepeople.com has assisted. Sylvie Tellier, Jean-Pierre Foucault and the new president of the committee Alexia Laroche-Joubert also made the trip to deliver the first details of the election.
It’s certain the theme of the show that the regional candidates will parade in turn to charm the public. Producer Frédéric Gilbert has indeed announced that all the paintings will be inspired by a musical. The opening table will be on the theme of Lion King with the performance of 30 Gospel singers. The shows will also be revisited Chicago, Saturday Night Fever, La La Land, Mary Poppins, West Side Story, Singing in the Rain, Aladdin and Mamma mia.
This is the first time we have done it …
For the staging of this last musical, the production decided to strike hard by making an unprecedented choice. “This year for the first time, we are going to make a table where they will be in pants. This is the first time that we have done it. Not in 100 years, but in 30 years of TV show, there hasn’t been. This is for the table Mamma mia. We did jumpsuits which will not be eph legs but tight, silver and fuchsia a bit like Cher in the 80s. We are also inspired by Farrah Fawcett and her gold dress. We had a lot of fun“, confided Frédéric Gilbert. A disco-chic atmosphere that promises to cause a sensation! Another novelty: a parade all in black and not least, that of the fifteen finalists in swimsuits. “It’ll be for the two-piece show and it’s rhinestone. The theme will be Chicago so they will have the top of the costume. It’s a costumed two-piece“, clarified the producer. And to add:”It gets modernized year after year“.
These decisions are undoubtedly part of the changes that President Alexia Laroche-Joubert wishes to impose, she who also established employment contracts for candidates. “Since my appointment as president of the company Miss France, we have worked with the teams on the editorial line of the show and the production conditions. This has artistic, technical and legal consequences. This is why this year, the 29 misses who will parade on the evening of December 11 on the TF1 antenna will have employment contracts“, she announced at the press conference.
For now, the jury has not yet been revealed but it promises to be “eclectic”. In addition, former Miss are expected on stage.
