Iris Mittenaere shared a new Reel (video) on Instagram, filmed on the beaches of Mauritius, and it was all it took to win over her followers. The former Miss France 2016 and Miss Universe 2016 appears in a light printed dress, against a spectacular sunset. "Born to be by the sea 🏝️," she simply captioned the post, along with the hashtags #mauritius and #island. This summer interlude immediately captivated the internet.
A printed dress perfect for the season
For this getaway to the Indian Ocean coast, Iris Mittenaere chose a dress printed with a python-effect animal print in shades of brown and caramel. This fashion choice echoes the major "boho beach" trend dominating the spring/summer 2026 season, characterized by natural prints, airy fabrics, and short cuts that are easy to slip on after a day at the beach.
For her hairstyle, Iris opted for loose, wavy hair, slightly tousled by the sea breeze. A few discreet bracelets on her wrist completed the look. The overall effect was one of summer simplicity, perfectly in keeping with the setting.
