Early life

edit

Van Ouytsel was born in Herentals, Antwerp, Belgium. She attended the University of Antwerp, where she received a Master of Laws degree.[1]

Pageantry

edit

Van Ouytsel's first pageant was Miss Antwerp 2016, where she was the second runner-up.[2] She returned to pageantry four years later, when she competed in and won Miss Antwerp 2020.[citation needed]

Miss Belgium 2020

edit

Van Ouytsel represented Antwerp and won Miss Belgium 2020. She was also awarded the title Miss Social Networks..[3][4] While competing in the evening gown portion of Miss Belgium, Van Ouytsel fell on stage, which resulted in a bra that had been stuck to her gown falling off and being left behind on stage; this received widespread attention throughout the Belgian media.[5][6][7][8][9]

This made her the seventh consecutive Flemish woman to win, and the fifth to come from the Antwerp Province in a span of six years. As Miss Belgium, Van Ouytsel competed in Miss World 2021.[10]
