New York Fashion Week will witness a powerful fusion of fashion and philanthropy on February 8, 2025, as Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjær Theilvig takes the runway at Sony Hall, New York, to support Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research.
This exclusive charity runway show, known as "Project Lab Coat," aims to raise funds for MS research at Mount Sinai's Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center. As part of the initiative, Victoria will model a custom-designed doctor's coat, symbolizing the collaboration between the fashion and medical fields in the fight against MS.
Victoria Kjær's Commitment to Change
Victoria, the first-ever Miss Universe winner from Denmark, is more than just a beauty queen; she is a mental health advocate, animal protector, aspiring lawyer, and entrepreneur. Her reign is focused on global humanitarian efforts, and her participation in "Project Lab Coat" aligns perfectly with her mission.
Previously, Victoria shared with HOLA! her passion for traveling and helping others: "I can't wait to travel worldwide, experience different cultures, and connect with local communities. I want to offer help wherever I can. While I know I can't change the entire world, I can make a difference in small ways. If I can help just one person, that will bring me much hope."
"I love being in New York. It feels like my second home because I have family there. Miami also holds a special place in my heart; when I was little, I used to travel here three times a year. So, for me, Miami feels like a second home, too," she said.
A Historic Win for Denmark
Victoria Kjær made history when she was crowned Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico City, competing against 125 contestants. Her journey to the title was marked by her poise, eloquence, and advocacy, winning over both the judges and the audience.
Victoria is focused on her goal. "The universe has a plan for me, so I don't have a specific next step. I plan to continue my philanthropic work and spend time with my family. At this moment, I'm not dreaming of becoming an actress or pursuing anything particular, but I trust that the universe has a great plan for me, and I look forward to seeing what unfolds," she told HOLA!
