Deltour was born in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.[3] When she was eight years old, her mother died of cancer. Afterwards, her father remarried; Deltour's stepmother was physically abusive, and when she was nine years old, her father left her and her siblings in an orphanage.[4] When Deltour was ten years old, she and her siblings were adopted by a Belgian couple Peter and Nadège Deltour, and moved to Woesten in West Flanders.[4][5] In Belgium, Deltour completed vocational training to become a hairdresser and later moved to Nazareth in East Flanders.[6][3][7]
Deltour began her career in pageantry in 2020, when she was crowned Miss East Flanders 2021, besting first runner-up Laura Baeyens.[8] As Miss East Flanders, Deltour received the right to represent the province at Miss Belgium 2021. The Miss Belgium finals were held on 31 March 2021 in Adinkerke.[9] Deltour is the eighth consecutive Flemish woman to win the title.[10][11][12][13][14][15] As part of her prize package, she received a pink Volvo.[16]
As Miss Belgium, Deltour represented Belgium at Miss Universe 2021, where she was unplaced, then at Miss World 2023, where she reached the top 40.[17][18]
