Who is the new Miss Universe 2024?
Kjær, 21, has participated in global dance competitions, works in diamond sales and advocates for animal rights.
“Miss Universe has inspired generations of women, what would you like to say to those who are watching you?” they asked her. Kjaer began by saying that her message was for everyone who saw her, not just women.
“No matter where you come from, no matter your past, you can always choose to make it your strength, it will never define who you are, you just have to keep fighting. “I am here now, because I wanted to change, I wanted to make history and that is what I am,” he said. “So never give up always believe in yourself and your dreams and that is exactly what you should do.”
Miss Denmark had two outstanding performances with great poise on stage. This is the first time that a representative from that country has won the crown.
The influencer Lele Pons, a member of the jury, asked her in the round of five finalists how she would live her life differently if she knew that no one was judging her. Before answering, Kjær said in Spanish: “Hello Mexico!” and received a standing ovation.
“I would never change my life, we learn from our mistakes, we learn every day, we learn something new, and we have to take that and carry it into the future, so one day at a time,” he said “I wouldn’t change anything.”
