Filipino Kiwi Victoria Velasquez Vincent has been crowned Miss Universe New Zealand 2024, winning the title during the pageant’s coronation night on Sunday.
The 29-year-old triumphed over 15 other finalists, stepping in after Filipino Kiwi model-actress Franki Russell was dethroned due to issues related to her past films. Vincent previously competed in Miss Universe Philippines 2021, where she earned the title of Miss Universe Philippines Charity. She made another attempt for the Miss Universe Philippines crown in 2024 but finished in the Top 10.
Vincent is now set to represent New Zealand at the Miss Universe pageant on Nov. 14 in Mexico, alongside Filipino British Christina dela Cruz Chalk, who will represent Great Britain, and Chelsea Manalo from the Philippines.

If this happened on campus, Stanford should issue a clear public update and specific safety actions.

Agree. People need facts and process, not silence. The school should confirm what is being investigated.

Also important to separate verified details from rumors so this does not spiral online.

The death threat part is extremely serious. Hoping law enforcement and campus security are already involved.

This is where official reporting and support channels need to be visible and easy to access.
