Rikkie Valerie Kolle has made history as the first transgender woman to win Miss Netherlands. It's the first time in the Dutch pageant's 94-year history that a trans woman has been crowned winner. It means the 22-year-old will be the second openly trans competitor to take part in Miss Universe in December this year.
