Beauty Pageant Diary | Miss Grand Netherlands

02/07/2025 | Reageer

Before I take you back to where it all started—with my original Miss Grand Netherlands introduction—I’d love to share a short reflection on this unforgettable journey. Below you’ll find a heartfelt summary of my experience, along with some of my favorite photo highlights that capture the magic, growth, and power of this adventure. Let’s take it from the sky… to the GRAND.
Voordat ik je meeneem naar het begin—mijn oorspronkelijke introductie voor Miss Grand Netherlands—deel ik graag eerst een korte terugblik op dit onvergetelijke traject. In deze blog vind je een oprechte samenvatting van mijn ervaring, samen met een aantal foto highlights die de magie, groei en kracht van deze reis perfect samenvatten. Laten we samen terugblikken… from the sky, tot the GRAND.

✧ The introduction I started with:

GRAND from the sky
My name is Mandy Beekwilder—solo travel blogger, flight attendant, model, and proud finalist for Miss Grand Netherlands. Born in the beautiful city of Den Bosch, I am honored to represent my hometown in one of the most prestigious and globally recognized pageants.

At 28 years old, I take pride in being part of the evolution within pageantry—where age is no longer a limit but a symbol of strength, experience, and timeless beauty. In the past, women my age wouldn’t have been able to compete, but today, I proudly stand as proof that age is just a number, and that women can be strong, inspiring, and beautiful at any stage in life.

As the first pageant contestant in the Netherlands to combine the Miss title with a professional flying career, I carry a message that beauty and ambition can absolutely go hand in hand. My path has never been ordinary. From walking the runway as a model to building a brand around solo travel and empowerment—I’ve consistently chosen courage over comfort.

With an English degree in International Business and a passion for empowerment, I dedicate my time to my travel blog, where I inspire women to step into their power through my core value—authenticity. My mission is to help others pursue their dreams, whether it’s taking that solo journey or breaking barriers in their own lives. My advocacy is standing up against bullying and inspiring women to embrace their authenticity.

My ultimate goal? To fly for our national airline while expanding my travel business, empowering women (and anyone who relates) to embrace independence, strength, and adventure.

If I had to describe myself in three words, they would be: Authentic – Passionate – Inspiring.

✧ De introductie waarmee ik begon:

GRAND from the sky
Mijn naam is Mandy Beekwilder—solo reisblogger, stewardess, model en trotse finaliste voor Miss Grand Netherlands. Geboren in het prachtige Den Bosch, voel ik me vereerd om mijn stad te vertegenwoordigen in een van de meest prestigieuze en internationaal erkende missverkiezingen.

Met mijn 28 jaar ben ik trots dat ik onderdeel ben van de evolutie binnen de pageantwereld—waar leeftijd niet langer een beperking is, maar een symbool van kracht, ervaring en tijdloze schoonheid. Waar vrouwen van mijn leeftijd vroeger geen kans meer kregen om deel te nemen, sta ik hier nu als bewijs dat leeftijd slechts een getal is en dat vrouwen op elke leeftijd krachtig, inspirerend en mooi kunnen zijn.

Als de eerste missfinaliste in Nederland die het titeldomein van Miss combineert met een professionele carrière als stewardess, draag ik een krachtige boodschap uit: schoonheid en ambitie gaan wél samen. Mijn pad was nooit standaard. Van het modellenwerk tot het bouwen van een merk rondom solo reizen en empowerment—ik kies steeds weer voor moed boven gemak.

Met een diploma in International Business volledig in het Engels en een diepe passie voor empowerment, besteed ik mijn tijd aan mijn reisblog, waar ik vrouwen inspireer om in hun kracht te stappen. Mijn kernwaarde? Authenticiteit. Mijn missie is om anderen te helpen hun dromen waar te maken—of dat nu betekent die eerste soloreis maken of barrières doorbreken in hun eigen leven. Mijn advocacy is dan ook opstaan tegen pesten en vrouwen empoweren in het vieren van authenticity.

Mijn ultieme doel? Vliegen voor onze nationale luchtvaartmaatschappij, terwijl ik mijn reisbusiness verder uitbouw en vrouwen (en iedereen die zich aangesproken voelt) inspireer om onafhankelijk, sterk en avontuurlijk te zijn.

Als ik mezelf in drie woorden zou moeten omschrijven: Authentiek – Gepassioneerd – Inspirerend.


✧ And then the real journey began…

When I entered Miss Grand Netherlands, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. After previous experiences with beauty pageants—where jealousy, rivalry and even manipulative behavior played a role and unfortunately has certainly heavily influenced my results in the past. Those experiences made me cautious. I knew what a toxic environment could do.

But Miss Grand Netherlands completely changed my view. It felt like a breath of fresh air. For the first time, I was surrounded by women who were strong without stepping on each other. There was no backstabbing, no fakeness—just genuine connection and mutual empowerment.

The organization—Robin and Stefan—brought heart and professionalism together. Their love for what they do showed in every detail. I felt seen, respected, and supported—not just as a finalist, but as a human being with a story.

Even though I didn’t make the top 5, I didn’t leave with disappointment. I stood beside strong women, and most importantly—I stayed true to myself. That is my definition of success. I held nothing back. No mask, no act—just me. My voice, my presence, my story.

✧ En toen begon het echte traject…

Toen ik aan Miss Grand Netherlands begon, wist ik eerlijk gezegd niet wat ik moest verwachten. Na eerdere ervaringen met missverkiezingen—waar jaloezie, rivaliteit en zelfs manipulatief gedrag een rol speelden en mijn uitslagen helaas zeker heeft beinvloed in het verleden —was ik voorzichtiger geworden. Pageants konden schitterend zijn, maar óók vermoeiend en teleurstellend als de sfeer niet gezond was.

Maar Miss Grand Netherlands verraste me op de mooiste manier mogelijk. Het traject voelde als een verademing. Voor het eerst bevond ik me in een groep vrouwen waar onderlinge steun, respect en kracht de boventoon voerden. Geen competitie op een destructieve manier, maar vrouwen die elkaars groei echt gunden.

De organisatie—Robin en Stefan—bracht professionaliteit en oprechte betrokkenheid samen. Hun liefde voor het vak was voelbaar in elk moment. Ik voelde me gezien, gehoord en gewaardeerd—niet alleen als finaliste, maar als mens.

Hoewel ik uiteindelijk niet in de top 5 eindigde, voelde het absoluut niet als een verlies. Ik stond naast sterke vrouwen, en ik bleef trouw aan mezelf. Dát is waar het voor mij om draait. Ik heb niets ingehouden, geen masker opgezet—ik was daar als mezelf, met mijn stem, mijn verhaal, mijn kracht.

✧ What I take with me

This journey restored my belief in what pageants can be. It proved that things can be done differently—with space for truth, sisterhood, and real transformation.

Miss Grand Netherlands is an incredible pageant with a global presence and powerful concept. It embodies glamor, impact, and bold energy. At the same time, I realized that it doesn’t fully reflect who I naturally am. Every pageant has a different tone, and while Miss Grand is all about fire, fierceness, and explosive charisma, I’m someone who is naturally high-energy and passionate, yet also refined, introspective, and emotionally driven.

During the process, I sometimes felt that I wasn’t channeling my energy the way I normally do. It felt like I was operating slightly outside my natural rhythm. This side of me exists—but it’s not my dominant mode. I adapted without losing myself, and I learned that not every format has to fit perfectly to be meaningful or successful.

I am proud of the woman I was on that stage. I am grateful for every single moment.
Because a stage isn’t just a spotlight—
It’s a voice.

And I will keep using it.

As my grandmother always said:
“I am me, and there is only one of me.”

From the Sky to the GRAND – The one and only.

✧ Wat ik meeneem 

Deze ervaring heeft mijn vertrouwen in de wereld van missverkiezingen hersteld. Het bewees dat het wél anders kan. Dat er plek is voor echtheid, voor sisterhood, voor échte groei.

Ik zie Miss Grand Netherlands als een geweldige verkiezing met een wereldwijd impactvol platform. Het is een krachtig concept dat glamour, expressie en vuur met elkaar verbindt. Tegelijkertijd merkte ik dat het niet 100% weerspiegelt wie ik van nature ben. Elke verkiezing heeft een ander thema, en waar Miss Grand draait om uitbundige presence en vurige flair, ben ik van nature juist energiek, gepassioneerd, maar ook gevoelig, verfijnd en inhoudelijk sterk.

Tijdens het traject voelde ik soms dat ik mijn energie minder goed wist te verdelen dan ik gewend ben. Alsof ik nét buiten mijn natuurlijke toon opereerde. Deze kant zit wel degelijk in mij, maar minder dominant. Ik paste me aan, zonder mezelf te verliezen, maar ik leerde wel: niet elk jasje hoeft volledig te passen om toch iets moois te ervaren en neer te zetten.

Ik ben trots op wat ik heb neergezet. Ik ben trots op de vrouw die daar stond. En ik ben dankbaar voor ieder moment.

Want een podium is niet zomaar een spotlight.
Het is een stem.

En die blijf ik gebruiken.

Zoals mijn oma altijd zei:
“Ik ben ik, en daar is er maar één van.”

From the sky, tot the GRAND – The one and only.

“Let them laugh because I didn’t win. Let them whisper and mock my presence. It’s always the ones too afraid to step into the light who throw shade from the shadows. I am not the one boiling in insecurity, hiding behind sarcasm and gossip, skipping every room that might expose their own irrelevance. I show up — boldly, visibly, authentically. And even without their applause, I’ve already walked miles ahead. Because when you’re truly building a life, you don’t have time to tear others down. So laugh all you want. I’m still everything you’ll never be brave enough to become.”

Today’s outfit in my beautiful city (wearing a coat over it because it’s a bit chilly) 🤍 My style is my statement.
I don’t dress to follow trends, I dress to express who I am. As a model, travel blogger, and pageant contestant, I’ve learned that fashion isn’t about impressing others, it’s about reflecting your soul.

Whether I’m wearing a timeless gown, a confident runway look, or something effortless on the streets of Tulum, I always choose pieces that feel like me. Feminine, bold, and one of a kind.

I don’t believe in fashion rules. I believe in energy. In dressing the way I feel. 🤍 Style is not something I follow, it’s something I create. On my own terms.

I don’t believe in fashion rules. I believe in energy. In dressing the way I feel. 🤍 Style is not something I follow, it’s something I create. On my own terms. . . . . #stewardess #flightattendant #cabincrew #missnetherlands #cabinattendant #missgrand #missgrandnetherlands #beautypageant #shertogenbosch #missnederland #missgrandinternational #missnetherlands

BaroQco Challenge – Mandy Victoria, Miss Grand Den Bosch 

I would love to take you into a world I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl, the world of modeling.
10 years ago, At 18, I got my first chance: becoming the face of a show that celebrated women in all shapes and sizes. A world I fell in love with, but one I had to fight to belong to.

For years, I was told I wasn’t enough. Too different. Too much. But I never gave up.

That’s why BaroQco speaks to my soul. Their delicate, handcrafted pieces, created with passion and Swarovski crystals, are more than fashion, they’re a celebration of uniqueness and empowerment.

BaroQco helps women shine in their own powerful light, and that’s exactly what I stand for.

Being Miss BaroQco would be a dream come true. A chance to show that resilience, elegance, and authenticity are the real jewels we wear.

Thank you.

Hair make-over at @addicthaarlem by @roosvoordendag and @hairbysanjay ✨ A gift from Addict and @miss_grand_netherlands ☀️ @12_months_of_beauty 

It’s been a while since I last changed my shade of blonde. And I really like the idea they had in mind for me. It’s going to look amazing with my finale dress 💗

7+ years as a flight attendant ✈️ As the first Dutch miss & stewardess, I’ve not only worked in the sky, but used my journey as a platform — to share my story, to inspire others, and to speak up for authenticity. From overcoming bullying to transforming COVID into a time of change, my experience became more than a job: it became my mission. Through my pageant journey, that mission reached even further — including within aviation. Here are some of my proudest highlights:

📍 Host of the charity gala for @peterpanvakantieclub & @ester_fonds (2021) — raising a record amount for holidays for vulnerable children
📍 My personal bullying story featured on Transavia’s official blog ‘People at Transavia’ and their socials (2020/2021)
📍 Featured in the Transavia newsletter for all passengers with my city guide to Den Bosch (2021) @transaviadichtbij 
📍 Interviewed for an in-house documentary about COVID, my aviation career, pageantry and transformation — filmed in (2021) (yet to be released)
📍 Volunteering at schools to teach teenagers about the aviation industry (2021) @jincnederland 
📍 Guest at the Peter Pan x Ester Fonds charity dinner (2023) @peterpanvakantieclub @esterfonds_ 
📍 Received fan art (2021)
📍 Published in the Peter Pan foundation book with my story on bullying and empowerment (2021/2022) @charles_kint_48 
📍 Travel article published in @vriendin_nl (2022)
📍 My story on COVID, pageants, bullying and authenticity featured in @luchtvaartnieuwsnl & @reisbizz (2021 & 2024) 
📍 Coverage in national newspapers, regional television and online platforms/newspages (2021 until 2025), too many to (re)post @brabants_dagblad @omroepbrabant @dtvnieuws @indebuurtdenbosch @ad_nl 
📍 Took my sister @msmore_claudia to work during Christmas — a memory we’ll never forget (2022)
📍 A pageant friend followed her dream to become ground staff @latifelatifey (2024)
📍 Made new flying friends and met other incredible people @cheyxliberty @janinewillemke @yours.brenda 
📍 Airline parties @jetlegged_crewevent @hv_copilotenfeest 

I was never born to play in the background.

7+ years as a flight attendant ✈️ As the first Dutch miss & stewardess, I’ve not only worked in the sky, but used my journey as a platform — to share my story, to inspire others, and to speak up for authenticity. From overcoming bullying to transforming COVID into a time of change, my experience became more than a job: it became my mission. Through my pageant journey, that mission reached even further — including within aviation. Here are some of my proudest highlights:

📍 Host of the charity gala for @peterpanvakantieclub & @ester_fonds (2021) — raising a record amount for holidays for vulnerable children
📍 My personal bullying story featured on Transavia’s official blog ‘People at Transavia’ and their socials (2020/2021)
📍 Featured in the Transavia newsletter for all passengers with my city guide to Den Bosch (2021) @transaviadichtbij 
📍 Interviewed for an in-house documentary about COVID, my aviation career, pageantry and transformation — filmed in (2021) (yet to be released)
📍 Volunteering at schools to teach teenagers about the aviation industry (2021) @jincnederland 
📍 Guest at the Peter Pan x Ester Fonds charity dinner (2023) @peterpanvakantieclub @esterfonds_ 
📍 Received fan art (2021)
