Last night, at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, the world witnessed the crowning of Miss Universe 2024—Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark. And let me tell you, this girl owned it. With her elegance, intelligence, and sheer grace, she brought the kind of sparkle that, frankly, the stage itself couldn’t muster. Victoria, darling, you deserved every bit of that South Sea pearl tiara by Jewelmer. But oh, how we wished the crown had a stage befitting its magnificence.

Let’s start with the obvious. Mexico City, you’re a cultural powerhouse with a rich tapestry of art, history, and vibrancy. So, where was it? The stage looked like a hastily assembled set for a corporate conference rather than the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant. The lighting? Duller than a cloudy day. The glamour? Missing, presumed dead. And don’t get me started on the lack of any substantial Mexican identity in the production. A mariachi band cameo isn’t enough, folks. Where was the wow factor, the fiesta, the flair? This is the land of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and tequila-fueled celebrations. Instead, we got something that screamed, “budget cuts,” louder than Olivia Culpo’s well-meaning yet slightly over-rehearsed hosting.

Ah, Olivia. Bless her. She tried to salvage the night, but even her charm couldn’t distract from what felt like a drag race running on empty.

And then there’s the elephant in the room—the placements. Every year, the Miss Universe pageant claims to celebrate diversity and meritocracy, but this year, it felt more like a family reunion for countries connected to the MUO’s new management. Don’t get me wrong, some placements were well deserved, but others? They had me checking my Wi-Fi connection to make sure I hadn’t accidentally switched to a local lottery draw. Some of these countries emerged from the metaphorical shadows, while others—established powerhouses in the beauty realm—were glaringly absent. A few nations seem destined for token slots, while others? Left to wave their flags in the audience. It’s giving favoritism, not fairness.

But let’s not overshadow Victoria’s triumph. Despite the lackluster production and questionable judging, she rose above it all. The Danish queen will undoubtedly bring grace and excellence to her reign, and we couldn’t be prouder. She shone in a setting that frankly didn’t deserve her, and that’s a testament to her undeniable star power.

Dear Miss Universe Organization, this is a plea from fans, not just me, the self-proclaimed pageant addict with a sharp tongue and sharper wit. If you’re going to continue as the beacon of global beauty and empowerment, give these women the stage, production, and respect they deserve. Mexico is known for its corazón—heart. Next time, let us feel it.
Until then, congrats to Victoria. You’re the queen we needed on a night that didn’t quite live up to its potential. 👑
