Cilou Annys is a Belgian beauty pageant contestant from Bruges who won on Sunday 1 January 2010. She is also Miss West Flanders.
Cilou Annys, the 80th Miss Belgium, accepted the crown from Zeynep Sever, Miss Belgium 2009.
The 18 year old brunette studies interpreting and translation (French and Spanish) at the “Hogeschool Gent” in Ghent.
She will compete in Miss Universe 2010 and Miss World 2010. Her first runner-up, Lien Aernouts (Miss Flemish Brabant) will represent Belgium at the Miss International contest while her second runner-up, Binta Telemans (Miss Brussels) will compete in Miss Europe 2010 and Miss Tourism 2010 pageants.
Cilou 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.
Cilou and the national committee of the Miss Belgium contest sent immediately a press release in which they apologize to anyone who may have felt embarrassed by this image. The national committee says Flemish Cilou Annys posed in a magazine over the flag to show who resides in Belgium. The letter of apology used various arguments to justify the picture, as Miss Belgium treads the flag “to show that resides on the Belgian territory.”
One week later, Cilou took the challenge of a French-speaking radio station (“Nostalgie”) to trample the poster of the flemish separatist, Bart De Wever, while putting the Belgian flag on her shoulder.
