 The gorgeous blond was decked out in red, black and yellow face paint -– the colors of Belgium’s flag -- wearing a matching hat with horns and waving pom-poms in the candid photos.
They apparently caught the attention of a major beauty brand: L’Oreal Professionnel. On Tuesday, Despiegelaere announced on Facebook that she had signed a contract with the company.
"Feeling excited," she wrote.
It all happened pretty quickly -- Despiegelaere has already posted a web video of her flaunting the brand’s hair care products.
L'Oreal Professionnel confirmed to ABC News that Despiegelaere worked with the brand on a social media campaign for Belgium, but is not an official spokesperson.
