Winner: Rikkie Kolle is Miss Netherlands.

“This finalist shone the whole show and made the most progress. She has a strong story with a clear mission, “said the jury after the verdict on Saturday evening in Leusden. Kolle is no stranger to the Netherlands. In 2018 she reached the final of the TV competition “Holland’s Next Top Model”.

“I know better than anyone what it’s like to feel alone and not just be surrounded by positive thoughts. When I was little Rik and came out as transgender, it was not easy for everyone and I have also experienced it,” said the winner in her performance before the competition.

“Now, years later, I am stronger than ever and I want to pass that on to everyone who needs it. Because as long as you always remain who you are, there is no one who can stand above you,” said the 22-year-old She added: “I love helping all the little Rikkies who have been rejected by their families grow into the person they want to be. I help them build their self image and acceptance, untouchable.” (SDA)
