Sun Nov 17 11:02:03 IST 2024: ## Denmark Makes History: Victoria Kjaer Theilvig Crowned Miss Universe

**Mexico City, Mexico** – In a stunning upset, Denmark has claimed its first-ever Miss Universe title. 21-year-old Victoria Kjaer Theilvig triumphed over 125 contestants from around the globe at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City last night.

The victory marks a historic moment for Denmark, breaking through in a competition dominated by Latin American countries in recent years. Mexico’s María Fernanda Beltrán took the first runner-up position, while Nigeria’s Cnidimma Adetshina secured second runner-up. Thailand’s Opal Suchata Chuangsri and Venezuela’s Ileana Marquez rounded out the top five.

While India’s Rhea Singha made a strong showing in the preliminary rounds, reaching the top 30, she ultimately did not advance to the top 12.

Theilvig captivated the audience in a vibrant pink, sequin-embellished gown during the evening gown competition. Her performance, coupled with her poise and answers, secured her the coveted crown, passed on by outgoing Miss Universe Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.

The Miss Universe Organization celebrated the win on Instagram, declaring a “new era” and praising Theilvig’s potential to inspire women worldwide. The competition, which featured a diverse array of contestants from over 120 countries, highlighted themes of empowerment, diversity, and global unity.
