Leonora Lysglimt-Rødland is currently in NYC preparing for the upcoming Miss Universe Pageant next month.
The nineteen year old stunning blonde athlete was among the honorees during the fifteenth annual International Film Festival Manhattan held at the Philippine Consulate General NYC last October 9, 2025.
She is an accomplished dancer recognized for her artistry and international achievements. This nineteen year old has proudly represented Norway twice on the global stage in baton twirling, and brought a gold medal. Her creative journey now expands into new horizons, with a nomination at the prestigious International Film Festival Manhattan, honoring her passion for sustainability, culture, advocacy, and youth empowerment to one of the world’s largest stages. She embodies grace, ambition, and a vision to inspire across generations.
Leonora already earned the monicker “Miss Abaca” for always wearing sustainable Abaca fiber as part of her styling. She will be wearing the design of norwegian based Filipina Designer Mayeth Codoy.
It is interesting to note that her father used to live in the Philippines working as a miner.
