  • Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, ultimately edged out Chidimma in a keenly contested competition to clinch the coveted crown.

Nigeria’s Chidimma Adetshina has emerged as the first runner-up at the 73rd Miss Universe Competition.

The grand finale, which took place early Sunday morning at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico, was a scintillating and captivating affair between Nigeria and Denmark as the two finalists waited with bated breath for the announcement of the winner of the prestigious title.

The competition, widely touted as one of the most exhilarating in recent years, celebrated the talent, intelligence, and elegance of women worldwide.

In a post shared on Instagram, the event’s organizers underscored the intensity of the moment, saying: “The final two! Nigeria and Denmark, two incredible women, one unforgettable moment.”

Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, ultimately edged out Chidimma in a keenly contested competition to clinch the coveted crown.

Theilvig will be succeeding Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua who held the Miss Universe in 2023.

Despite losing to her Danish contemporary, Adetshina’s exceptional display earned her praises and accolades from both judges and audiences, who were blown away by her carriage, poise and charisma throughout the competition.

Recall Adetshina’s journey to the Miss Universe stage was dogged by controversies.

Earlier this year, her withdrawal from the Miss South Africa 2024 contest, where she had advanced to the final stage, sparked widespread debate.

Her withdrawal followed allegations of identity theft against her mother by some South Africans, raising questions of her eligibility based on her nationality.

Unfazed, Chidimma Adetshina represented Taraba State at the national level, ultimately clinching the Miss Universe Nigeria title, which secured her spot on the global stage.

Adetshina’s achievement brings to mind the historic feat of Nigeria’s Agbani Darego, who, on November 16, 2001, became the first Black African woman to win the Miss World crown at just 18 years old
