With her sultry gaze and confident aura, Wendy Van Wanten remains the eternal seductress of Ostend. A true ‘nuummeroo’ (local star), born as Iris Vandekerckhove, straight from the seaside. Did you know that she attended the Lyceum and even practiced gymnastics with the De Noordzee association?
Her modeling career took her from the covers of Elle and Vogue to catwalks in the Bahamas and Paris, but Flanders truly got to know her thanks to the legendary Pin-Up Club. As the presenter of the iconic letter segment, she effortlessly played with expectations – always with a subtle wink and a generous dose of flair.
Her versatility and loving charm continue to captivate the public, and her contribution to Flemish culture is undeniable. Today, she’s happily with her Franske and you can still regularly spot her in Ostend. If you see her passing by? Feel free to wink! 😉
