Iris Mittenaere, the newly crowned Miss Universe, is not ashamed to love who she wants. The 24-year-old beauty queen from Lille, France, set Instagram ablaze when users found her posting bikini selfies with former Miss France Camille Cerf, sparking lesbian rumors.

“You know, it’s very funny. Camille is my best friend, but I have a boyfriend,” Mittenaere, who was attending the Nicole Miller fashion show in the Meatpacking District on Friday, tells The Post. “But I think this isn’t a problem. I can love a girl or a boy and we can choose who we want to love, I don’t understand why people are crazy about it.”

And while she’s excited to spend Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend, Matthieu Declercq, who’s flying in from France to visit her in Manhattan, she’s enjoying living in the city for the first time.

“I love New York and I love the good energy and I love the people,” she says. “For lunch I ate three hot dogs at the Statue of Liberty … I’m so excited to be here.”
