Road to the crown
Victoria entered the national competition in Denmark and won the Miss Denmark title in 2024. She then represented her country at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant, held in Mexico. After the preliminary rounds, she advanced through the semi-final stages and finished the evening as the winner, which was widely covered by international media as a first for Denmark.
Beyond the pageant stage
She has described herself as an entrepreneur as well as a model, and her profile in the press has focused on her interest in animal welfare and on being an older winner than many past titleholders. Pageant organisers have increasingly widened their age and background rules, and her win was often cited as an example of that change.
What a Miss Universe winner does
The reigning titleholder spends her year on public appearances, charity campaigns and brand partnerships, and then passes the crown at the next final. During her reign, she travelled to events around the world representing the organisation and its causes.
Why the win mattered for Denmark
Denmark had never produced a Miss Universe before 2024, so the result was national news. Danish outlets covered the return home heavily, and social media followers grew sharply after the final.
