Victoria Kjær Theilvig from Denmark has made history by being crowned Miss Universe 2024, marking the first time a Danish contestant has won this prestigious title.
The 21-year-old, who is a competitive dancer, entrepreneur, and aspiring lawyer, triumphed over more than 120 other contestants during the annual beauty pageant held in Mexico City on Saturday night.
As she accepted the tiara from the current titleholder, Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua, she received a warm round of applause from her fellow contestants on stage.
This year's grand finale included a performance by singer Robin Thicke and was hosted by Mario Lopez, known for his role in “Saved by the Bell,” along with former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo.
The glamorous event began with the contestants being narrowed down to 30 based on scores from Thursday’s preliminary rounds, which featured a vibrant national costume competition. The semi-finalists showcased their figures in swimwear before 12 candidates moved on to compete in the evening gown segment.
