Overview
- Officials applied the rule that prioritizes the public ranking in the event of a tie, giving Devèze the edge over Juliette Collet of New Caledonia after both finished level on points.
- Within hours of the coronation in Amiens, Devèze launched into Paris interviews, photoshoots and a press conference, saying she slept about three hours before starting her media marathon.
- She will represent France for one year, and press reports reiterate that the Miss France employee contract typically includes a salary previously estimated around €50,000, a year in a Paris apartment and extensive partner gifts.
- Former Miss France winners publicly welcomed Devèze, while celebrations erupted in French Polynesia, where supporters mobilized heavily via SMS voting.
- A separate controversy flared when Miss Provence was filmed using an insulting phrase about the Top 12 before later apologizing, and Miss Nord‑Pas‑de‑Calais voiced disappointment at missing the semifinal cut.
