I believe both Denmark and Europe will be immensely proud," Theilvig stated during a press conference following her victory.
The 21-year-old advocate for animal protection and diamond industry professional surpassed Miss Nigeria at the 73rd edition of the pageant held in Mexico City, with Miss Mexico securing the third position.
