Belgium hasn’t produced any Miss World or Miss Universe winner yet. Although Annelies Törös cracked her way to Top 15 of Miss Universe 2015 and Lenty Frans finished as Top 10 at Miss World 2016, the country has failed to produce a winner in either of the pageants. Miss Belgium has also seen its share of controversies. The election of Alizee Poulicek, a native speaker of French and Czech, was even linked to the 2007 Belgian government formation. She failed to speak in Dutch, the national language of Belgium and was booed by the audience.
Coming back to Miss Belgium 2017, who do you think will win the crown?
