On the day of the event, contestants will have various rounds to compete in: in sportswear, cocktail dresses, swimsuits, and evening gowns.

The registration fee is €120 for the first five registered participants and €150, covering all preparation for the competition (including virtual classes on makeup, hair styling, physical fitness, walking in heels, and mental coaching), outfit costs for the day of the event, and the trip to Japan for the new winner. Director of this prestigious competition since 2025, Sheryna Van Der Koelen, former contestant and current sports coach, expressed, “It is a true honor for us to select and support the French representative defending the colors of France in Japan. We will do everything in our power to prepare our candidate in the best way possible, so she embodies with elegance, authenticity, and determination the values we share.” She will personally conduct the sports and mental preparation classes for the participants and welcomes partnerships, sponsorships, and collaborations for the event.
