Iris Mittenaere introduces herself as Miss Universe for the first time


Moments after she won the world's most prestigious beauty pageant, French candidate Iris Mittenaere still could not believe that she is now Miss France AND Miss Universe.

"Hey, I'm Miss Universe... And I'm Miss France, too. This is crazy. I don't believe it," she said in a video posted on the Miss Universe Twitter account, which already bears her name and image, like all the other official Miss Universe social media accounts.

In case you're still wondering how to pronounce her name, Iris gives everyone an idea as she introduce herself as the new Miss Universe for the first time.

The proud Lille-born dental student and chef said, "I'm Iris Mittenaere, Miss Universe."

"You are Miss France and #Miss Universe," said the tweet's caption, letting the beauty queen own the titles she earned.

 

 

In a separate post on her personal Instagram account, Iris admitted that she still feels like she's "dreaming" when she looks at the crown and sash, which now belong to her.

Mittenaere is the second French delegate to win Miss Universe, after Christiane Martel all the way back in 1953.

The 23-year-old, who is in her last two years studying dental surgery, is fond of extreme sports, traveling, and cooking French dishes. — Bianca Rose Dabu/BM, GMA News
