Nikoline Uhrenholt Hansen to represent Denmark at Miss Universe 2023


Miss Denmark Organization officially announced Miss Denmark 2023 Nikoline Uhrenholt Hansen as Miss Universe Denmark 2023 on Tuesday, October 3 through social media.

The 21-year-old beauty who hails from a small town in the north of Denmark is currently a student of marketing and economics in Copenhagen and also a receptionist and personal assistant at a cosmetic clinic.

Apart from winning Miss Denmark in August, she also bagged the special award "Best Charity Ambassador" for her work with the Danish Heart Organization. Her advocacy for people with heart disabilities was inspired by her grandfather who had heart failure a few years back.

Nikoline has now been preparing to represent her country at the 72nd Miss Universe (Miss Universe 2023) to be held in El Salvador this November.

"So much has happened to me the past year and I have evolved so much as a person. I believe that I am ready to take on the universe. I am now a strong woman who believes in myself for exactly who I am," she said.

"This journey I am about to embark on will be my biggest experience and journey yet. I am so excited and thrilled to compete in such a huge, important, and meaningful competition and I can't wait to show more of my personality, and what I believe in and unfold my dreams."

Denmark skipped last year's Miss Universe edition. Its previous representative was Sara Langtved who participated in Miss Universe 2021 held in Eilat, Israel.
