The 73rd Miss Universe pageant took place at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City on Saturday, and Denmark’s Victoria Kjaer Theilvig emerged as Miss Universe 2024. Victoria, 21, stole the show in a stunning floor-length pink shimmery body-hugging strapless gown that accentuated her curves.
The Winning Look
The dress, covered in intricate sequins with beaded off-shoulder detailing, was further elevated by rhinestones scattered throughout. She paired the gown with sheer blush gloves, also adorned with silver embellishments at the trim. Keeping her makeup subtle yet glamorous, she wore shimmery pink eyelids, ample blush, and highlighter, with smudged eyeliner, mascara-coated lashes, and glossy pink lips. Her wavy tresses cascaded down her back, completing her look.
