Miss Belgium 2010 - Cilou Annys


Cilou Annys (born 20 March 1991) is a Belgian beauty pageant contestant from Bruges who won Miss Belgium 2010 on 10 January 2010. She is also Miss West Flanders. Annys, the 80th Miss Belgium, accepted the crown from Zeynep Sever, Miss Belgium 2009.

Annys caused controversy when she posed on the cover of P-Magazine, standing on the Belgian flag, with Flemish nationalist politician Bart De Wever pictured cutting her "Miss Belgium" sash.

Annys and the national committee of the Miss Belgium contest immediately issued a press release in which they apologized to anyone who may have been offended by this image. The letter of apology used various arguments to justify the picture, such as saying that Miss Belgium stood the flag "to show who resides on the Belgian territory".

One week later, Annys accepted the challenge of a French-speaking radio station, "Nostalgie", to trample the poster of Flemish separatist Bart De Wever while putting the Belgian flag on her shoulder.

She placed in the Top 15 at the Miss Universe 2010 pageant held on 23 August 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada and competed in Miss World 2010 a few months later.
