Denmark's Victoria Kjær Theilvig is crowned the 73rd Miss Universe winner, beating the likes of Nigeria's Chidimma Adetshina, who faces scrutiny after South Africa issued a warning to revoke her ID documents according to reports, Mexico's Maria Fernandez Beltran, Thailand's Suchata Chuangsri, and Venezuela's Ileana Marquez.
In the Q&A segment, asked what message to the future generation of women, Theilvig said;
"My message to all the world that are watching out there is no matter where you come from, no matter your past, you can always choose to turn it into your strengths. It will never define who you are. You just gotta keep fighting. I stand here today because I want to change, I want to make history, and that's what I'm doing tonight. So, never give up always, believe in yourself, in your dreams, and that is exactly what you're going to do. Thank you."
Congratulations to Victoria Kjær Theilvig and the finalists of the 73rd Miss Universe pageant!
