To measure who are the sexiest French personalities of the year 2025, the social media analysis platform Discurv surveyed 1,000 French people aged 18 and over online for XloveCam at the end of November 2025. Published at the end of December, the list honors an ex-Miss against cinema icons and football stars.
The sexiest French personalities: the Discurv 2025 ranking
At the top of the list, Iris Mittenaere wins with 22%. The former Miss France and Miss Universe, who became an influencer followed by millions of subscribers, is narrowly ahead of Sophie Marceau and Jean Dujardin, at 21%.
Certain figures cross gender divides: Sophie Marceau remains almost as strongly favored by men as by women, just like Iris Mittenaere. M Pokora, at 19%, benefits from a refined physique, a careful digital image and the media coverage of her relationship with Christina Milian.
The Top 10 draws a landscape mixing cinema, music, influence and sport, also with Tomer Sisley and Virginie Efira, while Nabilla, Léon Marchand, Florent Manaudou, Caroline Garcia, Léna Situations, Inoxtag and Omar Sy close the Top 15 with scores between 13 and 14%:
- Iris Mittenaere (22%);
- Sophie Marceau (21%);
- Jean Dujardin (21%);
- M Pokora (19%).
Influencers and stars of all time: a new face of sexy
“Other content creators like model and influencer Baptiste Giabiconi (17%) climb into the top 5 sexiest celebrities, closely followed by TV influencer Nabilla (14%) and Léna Situations (13%)“, underlines Discurv in its report.
For Discurv, 2025 marks a turning point, with a systematic measurement of the attractiveness of content creators. Iris Mittenaere combines the institutional legitimacy of Miss and a massive Instagram presence, while Baptiste Giabiconi, Nabilla, Léna Situations or Inoxtag build their sex appeal on digital proximity and a very controlled self-narrative.
Athletes, “male gauze” and clash of generations
In sport, Léon Marchand and Florent Manaudou dominate preferences with 14% each, ahead of Olivier Giroud (13%) and Antoine Griezmann (11%). “Kylian Mbappé (9%), although a world football star, only comes in sixth position. This relatively modest score can be explained by recent controversies or a less controlled public image than that of Griezmann or Giroud“, explains Discurv.
The report also describes a “male gaze” which favors youth, sporty silhouettes and disciplines deemed graceful, with Caroline Garcia, Alizé Cornet and the gymnast Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos often cited. It also highlights a generational divide between those over 50, attached to Sophie Marceau or Mylène Farmer, and those aged 18-34, more sensitive to Léna Situations, Inoxtag, Squeezie or Michou.
