Miss Belgium 2020

For the first time since 2013, the election was live streamed on the RTL Play1 platform.^[11] The pageant featured 32 candidates, while there were only 30 during the five previous elections.^[12]

During the evening gown competition part of the coronation night, Céline Van Ouytsel tripped on the hem of her dress causing her to fall on stage and even lost a bra which was inadvertently stuck in her long puffy sleeves. The fallen bra remained in the middle of the stage for a few minutes, and it was fully visible to the camera as the next contestant walked onstage. It was also reported that some finalists nearly fell in the stage during the swimsuit competition.^[13] The incident was widely reported in the media, to the point that Céline Van Ouytsel was interviewed about it and had to give her own comments on what exactly happened. Despite the incident, she managed to win the crown.^[14][15]
