Victoria Velasquez Vincent Crowned Miss Universe New Zealand 2024!

In a stunning display of talent and beauty, Victoria Velasquez Vincent has been officially crowned Miss Universe New Zealand 2024! The 24-year-old model, who previously showcased her charisma by representing Bacoor City in the recent Miss Universe Philippines pageant, emerged victorious among 15 fierce competitors.

Victoria's journey to this prestigious title was fueled by a heartfelt motivation: honoring her father's heritage. With the Miss Universe 2024 pageant set to take place in Mexico on November 14, she is preparing to showcase New Zealand on a global stage.

Interestingly, this isn't Victoria's first opportunity to represent New Zealand. In 2021, she was offered the title of Miss Universe New Zealand but turned it down to compete in the Miss Universe Philippines, where she earned the title of Miss Universe Philippines Charity. Her determination was evident this year as she returned to the Miss Universe Philippines pageant, where she dazzled the judges and secured a spot in the Top 10.

While Victoria is gearing up for her international debut, there was a twist in this year’s pageantry. Filipino-Kiwi model and actress Franki Russell was initially set to walk the runway for New Zealand but faced a dethronement due to controversies surrounding her past films. This opens up further opportunities for Victoria to shine as the proud representative of New Zealand.

As the countdown to the Miss Universe 2024 pageant begins, fans are eager to see how Victoria will stand out amidst a talented lineup of contestants from around the globe. With her strong sense of identity and commitment to her roots, Victoria Velasquez Vincent is sure to make waves on the international scene! Stay tuned for more updates as this incredible journey unfolds!
