In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, Victoria shared what winning Miss Universe would mean to her.

"To be able to win the crown for Denmark will mean everything to me. This is what I have been working on my whole life. I want to make history not only for Denmark since we haven't had a Miss Universe [crown] before, but also make history for Europe," she remarked.

The international pageant recently unveiled a new Miss Universe crown which was made in the Philippines by luxury brand Jewelmer.

"Caressed by the sun’s rays, the sea generously offers us a magical gift — the rare golden South Sea pearl, the National Gem of the Philippines," the brand posted on social media upon sharing the inspiration behind the crown.

The crown is described as "a miracle created in 377 steps over five years" and a "treasure [that] is brought to life by the most pristine environment and utmost human care."

"This precious gem embodies the brilliance of our co-existence with Mother Nature. As long as there is a pearl, there is life shining through every moment," the brand added.
