Overview
- Devèze was elected on December 6 at the Zénith d’Amiens before more than 6 million viewers, finishing ahead of Miss Nouvelle-Calédonie and Miss Normandie.
- The result hinged on a rare tie at the final stage that was settled by the rule giving priority to the public ranking, with Devèze first among viewers and the jury favoring Nouvelle-Calédonie.
- She began a fast-paced media tour in Paris within hours of her win and described using her platform to share tools for mental well-being drawn from her own struggles with confidence and burnout.
- As Miss France she becomes an employee of the organization for one year, with reporting citing roughly €50,000 in pay, housing in Paris, and extensive gifts from partners.
- A leaked backstage video of Miss Provence and Miss Aquitaine insulting the Top 12 drew heavy criticism; both apologized, the Aquitaine committee condemned the remarks, and Devèze urged audiences to move on.
