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.

Part 2 ✨I’m not scared to admit the things that shaped me β€” not just the glamorous highlights, but the quiet truths behind the scenes.

From jealousy and gossip that tried to dim my light,
to scars that disqualified me from dreams I once chased.
From assumptions about how I travel,
to the silent strength it takes to stay soft in a harsh world.

No plastic, no shortcuts, no pretending.
Just me β€” trying, dreaming, healing, glowing.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, or just deeply human…
this one’s for you.

(Read the back story) ✨ Vulnerability is not weakness, it’s power in truth.

I’m 28 β€” and not scared to admit the things that shaped me.
Not the polished version, not the filtered journey β€” but the real one.

Despite international feedback ranking me top 3 in pageants, I kept getting overlooked. That’s what drained my fire sometimes to keep going. 

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing your best while the world just kept passing you by… this is for you.

Let’s stop pretending.
Let’s be brave enough to say: this is me.
Unfiltered. Still standing. Still trying. Still glowing.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE being single. It’s more about wanting something real in a society of a lot of fakeness. 

Let me know if you want a part 2

Share this with someone who needs to feel seen today.

Special story πŸŒ·πŸ‡³πŸ‡± My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) πŸ•ŠοΈ

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city β€” he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember β€” and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.

Special story πŸŒ·πŸ‡³πŸ‡± My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) πŸ•ŠοΈ

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city β€” he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember β€” and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.
