Miss Universe Denmark is a national beauty pageant in Denmark that selects the representative to the Miss Universe pageant since 2004. The competition is known as Pretty Danish. It is a branch from the late Miss Denmark that selected the representative to the Miss Universe pageant from 1952 to 2000.
So far, no Dane has ever won Miss Universe; the closest to the crown was Aino Korva in 1963, when she placed as the 1st Runner-up to the eventual winner, Iêda Maria Vargas of Brazil. Model Helena Christensen was Miss Denmark in 1986.[1][2][3]
