Beauty pageant Diary | Miss Netherlands (Miss World) finale

21/07/2021 | 2 Reacties

After an intensive year, the final of Miss World Netherlands is a fact. I’ve grown a lot as a woman and often stepped out of my comfort zone (I love). I didn’t win myself, but my good friend Dilay Willemstein was allowed to take home the beautiful crown, which Brenda Muste handed over to her. I am grateful that because of something ‘negative’ like corona, I was able to take a chance next to my beautiful, irregular job. Because we were all temporarily on the ground due to the freeze and travel ban, I was able to make this period something else special. Where one door closes, another door opens. This post is to share the last pictures of the final evening and as a short summary.

To summarize the day: early in the morning, Wednesday, June 31, 2021, we gathered at the Koning in Amsterdam – a beautiful bridal hall, perfectly suited for this evening. After a year the time had come, the final evening was there. From a trajectory of a few months, it became a year-long trajectory due to corona. It has also bridged the ‘gap’ that has arisen in my full-time career as a flight attendant (numerous lockdowns and few to no flights). Was I nervous for the final? Hell yes! You’ve been working towards this for a full year, of course. One of us will be the new Miss Netherlands for the Miss World pageant. (And one of us will also be chosen as Miss Netherlands for the Miss International pageant after some time after this final..). In the morning we practiced our dances several times, our evening gown round, and it was time for a space time for make-up and hair. My make-up was taken care of by Looks by Latife, a great support for me this evening. She made sure that my makeup was beautiful and stayed all night. My make-up was really beautiful thanks to her and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer make-up look! My beautiful curls are made by Team Indola – Kim Kim Haaridee.

Na een intensief jaar is de finale van Miss World Nederland een feit. Ik ben enorm gegroeid als vrouw en vaak uit mijn comfort zone gestapt (houd ik van). Zelf heb ik niet gewonnen, maar mijn goede vriendin Dilay Willemstein mocht met de mooie kroon naar huis, die Brenda Muste aan haar heeft overgedragen. Ik ben dankbaar dat ik door iets β€˜negatiefs’ als corona, een kans heb kunnen nemen naast mijn mooie, onregelmatige baan. Door dat wij allen door de freeze en travel ban tijdelijk op de grond kwamen te staan, heb ik van deze periode iets anders bijzonders kunnen maken. Waar een deur sluit, gaat een andere deur open. Deze post is om de laatste foto’s van de finale avond te delen en als korte samenvatting.

Om de dag samen te vatten: vroeg in de ochtend, woensdag 31 juni 2021, verzamelden we in de Koning in Amsterdam – een prachtige bruidszaal, perfect geschikt voor deze avond. Na een jaar was het dan zo ver, de finaleavond was daar. Van een traject van enkele maanden, werd het een jaar lang traject door corona. Het heeft ook het ‘gat’ dat ontstaan is in mijn fulltime carriΓ¨re als stewardess (talloze lockdowns en weinig tot geen vluchten), doen overbruggen. Was ik zenuwachtig voor de finale? Ja zeker! Je bent hier een vol jaar naar toe aan het werken natuurlijk. Een van ons wordt de nieuwe Miss Nederland voor de Miss World verkiezing. (En een van ons zal later ook, over een tijd na deze finale, verkozen worden als Miss Nederland voor de Miss International verkiezing..). In de ochtend hebben we diverse keren onze dansen geoefend, onze gala ronde, en werd het tijd voor een ruimte tijd voor make-up en haar. Mijn make-up was verzorgd door Looks by Latife, een grote ‘steun en toeverlaat’ voor mij deze avond. Ze had de hele avond gezorgd dat mijn make-up prachtig was en bleef. Mijn make-up zat echt prachtig dankzij haar en ik had geen leukere make-up look kunnen wensen! Mijn prachtige krullen zijn gemaakt door Team Indola – Kim Kim Haaridee.

It was also very nice to have support this evening from my father and mother, good friend Anne-Sophie, Mey, Iris (whom I got to know through Miss World) and dear Hilda, who came especially for me. We did a total of 4 dances, talent round, various ceremonies of the different challenges, a gala round, bridal round and then the announcement of the winner. And that’s my sweet, beautiful and talented friend Dilay. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the process. A lot of people, and the post is getting too long to list them all! But if someone hasn’t been named, it’s definitely not meant to be skipped!
Het was ook ontzettend fijn deze avond ook support te hebben van mijn vader en moeder, goede vriendin Anne-Sophie, Mey, Iris (Die ik door Miss World heb leren kennen) en lieve Hilda, die allen speciaal voor mij zijn gekomen. We hebben in totaal 4 dansen gedaan, talentenronde, diverse uitreikingen van de verschillende challenges, een gala ronde, bruids ronde en daarna de bekendmaking van de winnaar. En dat is mijn lieve, mooie en getalenteerde vriendin Dilay. Ik wil iedereen bedanken die heeft bijgedragen aan het traject. Een hoop personen, en de post wordt te lang om ze allen op te noemen! Maar mocht iemand niet zijn benoemd, is dat absoluut niet bedoeld om iemand over te slaan!
I’m very convinced that even though I didn’t win, I’m sure beautiful things will come my way and a beautiful door will open to something else great ;), if I just keep believing and do my best. My biggest gains for me are a lot of beautiful people, connections and friendships that I made and got to know during this year. That because of corona, I was able to do something else very special and still had a full agenda. Lock down or not. That I have been able to do things that are not for everyone. That I have been able to inspire people with my pest project and story. That I have been able to attend various masterclasses and workshops. And most importantly, that I have become the more confident, stronger woman that I came into this trajectory for. In addition and combination to my work as a flight attendant and blogger, I can now also expand my old dreams (Pageants and Modeling work). And I am 100x stronger and more confident than before I started.
Ik ben er erg van overtuigd, dat ondanks ik niet gewonnen heb, er vast hele mooie dingen op mijn pad komen en een mooie deur opent naar iets anders groots ;), als ik maar blijf geloven en mijn best blijf doen. Mijn grootste winsten zijn voor mij een hoop mooie mensen, connecties en vriendschappen die ik heb gemaakt en leren kennen tijdens dit jaar. Dat ik door corona, iets anders heel bijzonders heb kunnen doen en alsnog een volle agenda had. Lockdown of niet. Dat ik dingen heb kunnen doen die niet voor iedereen zijn weg gelegd. Dat ik mensen heb kunnen inspireren met mijn pest project en verhaal. Dat ik zelf diverse masterclasses en workshops heb gedaan en kunnen doen. En voornamelijk, dat ik de zelfverzekerdere, sterkere vrouw geworden waar ik hier het traject voor binnen kwam. Naast mijn werk als stewardess en blogger, kan ik mijn oude dromen (Miss verkiezingen en modellenwerk), nu ook verder uitbreiden. En sta ik nog 100x sterker in mijn schoenen dan voor ik er aan begon.

Impactful beauty & catwalk challenge 🧑 @misscosmointernational @miss_cosmo_netherlands 
Wearing our national color, I share a place close to my heart. Den Bosch, the city where I was born and raised. Although the world is my teacher and playground, I always come back home.

Impactful Beauty is more than an image β€” it is a legacy of resilience and authenticity.

For me, it means rising after years of violence and bullying and continuing even when I did not bring the crown home. True beauty is not measured in titles, but in the courage to stand tall when the world tried to break you.

At 29, in an industry that once said I was β€œtoo old,” I stand as proof that age does not limit impact. My story shows that authenticity shines brighter than perfection.

As a model and travel blogger, I have had the privilege to explore our world β€” to see cultures, learn from them, and connect people across borders. Travel is a privilege that taught me that every culture holds wisdom, and my mission is to bridge worlds β€” not just across skies, but between hearts.

Sustainability is also part of Impactful Beauty. I support handmade and collaborate with re-wear fashion, love vintage, and continue my long-term school project of teaching children about bullying and authenticity.

Because Impactful Beauty is not about winning a moment, but leaving a legacy that inspires.

From the sky, to the COSMO. My name, is Mandy Victoria.

(SWIPE - story time!) 🌷 H E R I T A G E and I M P A C T F U L L  B E A U T Y πŸ‡³πŸ‡± Wearing our beautiful national color - showing you a place of meaning to me. Den Bosch, the city I have been born and raised. Although the world is my teacher and playground, I always come back home. 

Impactful Beauty is more than an image β€” it is a legacy of resilience and authenticity.
For me, it means rising after years of bullying and violence, and continuing even when I did not bring the crown home. Every setback became part of my strength, teaching me that true beauty is not measured in titles, but in the courage to stand tall when the world tried to break you.

At 29, in an industry that once said I was β€œtoo old,” I choose to stand as proof that age does not limit impact. My story shows that resilience never expires, and that authenticity will always shine brighter than perfection.

As a model and travel blogger, I have had the privilege to explore our world closely β€” to see different cultures, to learn from them, and to connect people across borders. Those experiences gave me the deepest belief that beauty is not about division, but about building bridges. That is what Impactful Beauty means to me: using your voice and your presence to bring people together. I’m proud to be the first Dutch flight attendant and Miss. 

And I want to continue doing exactly that. Through my platform, my website, and my school lessons, I want to keep inspiring others β€” not with temporary projects, but in a sustainable way that endures. To teach, to share, and to empower. Because Impactful Beauty is not about winning a moment, but about leaving a lasting legacy.

3 day solo trip to Budapest πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί (Dress β€˜Tamsin’ by @divacatwalk) My favorite love: discovering the world. New cultures, new people, and those little moments that stay with you forever. Solo travel = freedom

Facts from my experience πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί

πŸ“It’s a safe and clean city
πŸ“It’s far from cheap!
πŸ“Using a bicycle is the perfect way of transporation
πŸ“The city is very big and seperated by two parts: β€˜Buda’ and β€˜Pest’ 
πŸ“The currency is Florentine, not Euro 
πŸ“Booking Wizz Air one way was cheaper than using my cabin crew benefits
πŸ“There are countless cute brunch places here
