Top Beautiful Women in Belgium

We know what you’re thinking: why Belgium? Well, a surprised and curious reaction to a list of the hottest Belgian women is valuable in and of itself in a tired, bored internet list world of the same hot exotic chicks from the same old countries.
Bordered by France, the Netherlands, and Germany, Belgium is the forgotten middle sibling in a family of countries with infamously hot, tall, cigarette-smoking, verboten, and/or extremely fashionable women. It’s time that Belgian women get the recognition they deserve, and we want them to shine brighter than any diamond from Antwerp.
18. Brigitta Callens
Let’s start off with the mega hot Brigitta, one of the youngest "Miss Belgium" winners of all time. She’s been modeling her whole life, has posed in the Belgian edition of Playboy (does that wonderful magazine exist in every country? Because it should.), and recently created her own line of jewelry that’s been very popular in Belgium.
17. Kate Ryan
Ms. Ryan may have the least Belgian name out of all the women on this list, but she has more gold records that the rest of the ladies put together. She’s been a successful recording artist in Belgium and the Netherlands since 2001, and you probably all remember her stirring performance of "Je t’adore" at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006…we all pay a little extra for European dance concert coverage on our cable bills, right?
16. Hanna Verboom
Hanna has already lived a varied and interesting life beyond her years due to a host of talents. She was born in Belgium, spent most of her childhood years in the Sudan and Kenya, won a nation-wide modeling contest, acted opposite the legendary Rob Schneider in "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" and stole every scene they were in together, had her paintings exhibited in a famous art gallery in Amsterdam, and is ridiculously hot.
15. Dominique Van Hulst
14. Linda Mertens
Linda is the lead singer of the cheekily-named Belgian vocal trance band, Milk, Inc. She’s known for wearing pink panties in photo shoots, and having gotten discovered by accident in an upscale club. She got the gig after asking, “Is that cream of Belgian endive soup in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?” Turns out they were just really, really happy to see her. Now, you can be happy too.
13. Tanja Dexters
With abs toned harder than a waffle iron and an indefatigably positive attitude, Tanya was a natural to be crowned Miss Belgium 1998. She went on to represent her country at Miss Universe 1999 and Miss World 1998.
12. Veronique de Kock
Already a model at 15, Veronique was crowned Miss Belgium 1995. Her beautiful name spun the heads of teenagers worldwide - similar to how one rotates a waffle iron - and brought her to the attention of Frank Slaets, a notable Russian mob boss.
11. Lara Fabian (9 January, 1970 Etterbeek, Brussels) is a Belgian-Canadian singer. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide and is the best-selling Belgian female artist of all time. She was born in to a Flemish father and a Sicilian mother.
