On Friday, November 6, 2026, the Star Academy broadcast delivered one of the most significant episodes of the season, centered on a special tribute celebrating the show's alumni. Hosted by the perennial anchor Nikos Aliagas—who briefly ceded the mic to former winner Pierre Garnier for an introductory segment—the evening featured a reunion of nearly every previous winner. Joining in the performances alongside the current students were Jenifer, Nolwenn Leroy, Élodie Frégé, Magalie Vaé, Cyril Cinélu, Mosimann, Mickels Réa, Laurène Bourvon, Anisha Jo, Pierre Garnier, Marine, and Ambre. During the live event, Mosimann, who now serves as the director of the academy, sat at the piano to help the contestants pay homage to the late Grégory Lemarchal. [1]
A standout moment of the broadcast came from contestant Zoé, who successfully captured the audience's attention by winning the Top 3 position with six votes from the teachers. Following this achievement, Zoé performed Prince’s classic 'Purple Rain' in a duet with Anisha Jo, the winner of the new version of Star Academy. The performance was noted for its difficulty, requiring Zoé to shine alongside the 'telegenic power' of the veteran victor. Jonathan Jenvrin, the dance instructor, commented on the moment, stating, 'We are witnessing her blossoming.' [1]
