Cape Town - Axelle Despiegelaere was just a 17-year-old from Belgium rooting for her country's soccer team at the Soccer World Cup in Brazil when someone took her photo in the stands and changed the course of her life.
According to the Business Insider website, the picture of the attractive teenager dressed in her country's paraphernalia made the rounds on Twitter and newspapers all over the world.
Since returning home to Belgium, the teen set up a Facebook fan page that has amassed over 200 000 likes. Soon after, L'Oreal approached Despiegelaere and offered her a modelling contract.
