Rikkie Kollé Makes History as First Openly Trans Miss Netherlands Winner
In a groundbreaking moment for inclusivity and representation, Rikkie Kollé has become the first openly transgender contestant to win the title of Miss Netherlands. Kollé’s victory on Saturday at the AFAS Theater in Leusden means she will go on to represent her country in the upcoming Miss Universe competition later this year.
Kollé took to Instagram after her win, writing, “I did it! I made my community proud and showed it can be done.” The post featured the light blue, light pink, and white-striped transgender flag emoji.
