The third edition of the têtu· ceremony took place this Wednesday, December 10, at the Trianon, in Paris. At the head of our 2025 lineup is the writer Fatima Daas, author of La Petite Dernière, adapted this year for cinema, who received the têtu· of Personality of the Year!
For its third edition, the Têtu Ceremony returned to the Trianon, in Paris, to celebrate talents, artists and associations that carried high the colors of our prides in 2025.
Hosted this year by two unique queens in their own right, comedian Mahaut Drama and the winner of Drag Race All Stars Mami Watta, the evening awarded 11 prizes across fields: literature, music, cinema, fashion, dance or activism. Their common thread? They are têtu·es and embody the values carried by the magazine.
The evening was punctuated by musical and artistic performances (Luna, winner of the first edition of the Outloud contest, Piche, the House Of Revlon, Marguerite, accompanied by the Queeraie, the cabaret La Bouche and Christine and the Queen for a rendition of the emblematic “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat) and the Brazilian DJ, resident of Rosa Bonheur and of the Lolita and LaDimanche soirées, opened and closed the event.
