After months on the road, Victoria Kjær Theilvig is finally home. At 1:15 p.m., she landed at Copenhagen Airport to cheers and heartfelt welcomes. Fans at the terminal waved Denmark's flag while her family and friends showered her with flowers, love, and tons of hugs. An Instagram video from the Miss Universe Organization captured the magic, saying, "HOME AT LAST! @victoriaakjaer has finally arrived home, surrounded by love and warm welcomes! Her heart is full, and so are ours!"

Victoria made a statement right from the start. Sporting a maroon pantsuit, her gold Miss Universe crown glimmered as she rocked a perfectly styled ponytail and sleek black pointed-toe boots. Her arrival wasn't just a return; it was a celebration of a dream achieved and a country united by pride.

 A Role Model for Family and the World

In her first interview with HOLA!, Victoria opened up about her journey. As the oldest of three sisters, she shared how proud she is to inspire her younger siblings, especially the 12-year-old who is still in shock. For Victoria, this win is not just a personal victory but a chance to be a role model for her sisters and the entire world. She said, "My biggest dream was to be Miss Universe, and I have achieved that. Now, I am focusing on the journey, striving to improve myself, and becoming the best version of myself."

Denmark's Moment in the Spotlight

Victoria also talked about the excitement buzzing through Denmark—a small country with a population of six million that isn't usually known for big beauty pageants. She expressed her pride in putting Denmark on the Miss Universe map as the first woman from her country to win the title. It's not just a win for her; it's a win for Denmark and a step forward in showing the world the impact of beauty pageants. "Right now, Denmark is buzzing with excitement. The media is buzzing, and I feel like my face is everywhere. It's a fantastic feeling to finally showcase the significance of beauty pageants and their impact on the world in Denmark," she said.

"My home country is immensely proud that I put Denmark on the Miss Universe map as the first woman from Denmark to win the title," she added.

According to the beauty queen, she was able to fulfill her dream. "My biggest dream was to be Miss Universe, and I have achieved that. Now, I am focusing on the journey, striving to improve myself, and becoming the best version of myself. Even though I am Miss Universe, I learn something new daily and want to continue my personal growth," she told our publication.
