Belgian singer and actress Pommelien Thijs is making waves once again, this time not just for her music but for the heartfelt tributes from fans who are channeling their admiration into handmade outfits inspired by her style.
The 25-year-old artist, known for hits like “Atlas” and her role in the Flemish series Knokke Off, recently partnered with Artsen Zonder Grenzen to raise awareness and support for global humanitarian efforts—a collaboration she announced on Instagram just days before her first solo performance at the AFAS Dome in Antwerp.
Fans have responded with creativity and devotion, crafting personalized garments that reflect their connection to her music and persona. One admirer, Caitlin, 21, shared that wearing a fan-made outfit felt deeply personal, saying, “It’s like she’s reading my diary.”
Thijs, who began her career as a child performer on Ketnet Kookt, rose to prominence as “Caro” in the popular teen series #LikeMe before launching her solo music career in 2020. Since then, she has earned multiple number-one hits on the Flemish Ultratop charts, including “Ongewoon,” “Erop of eronder,” “Het Midden” with Meau, “Het beste moet nog komen,” and the record-breaking “Atlas,” which spent 22 weeks at number one in 2025—the longest-running top single in the chart’s history.
Her influence extends beyond music, with recognition as a coach on The Voice Kids and numerous accolades, including 12 Music Industry Awards and the Radio 2 “summer hit of the year” award for “Erop of eronder.”
As she continues to balance her work in film, television, and music, Thijs remains a defining figure in contemporary Belgian pop culture—inspiring not only chart-topping songs but also meaningful, personal expressions of fandom.
