De Vries stated that her studio aims to empower clients by focusing on internal qualities rather than societal standards.
“For me, boudoir is not about lingerie or the perfect picture. It's about women.
Women who compare themselves daily. Who mainly see what should be different.
I want to show what is already there: strength, vulnerability, and beauty. Exactly beautiful just as you are,” she said.
The announcement drew supportive reactions from family and fellow contestants. Her brother Royce de Vries shared his pride online.
Television presenter Quinty Trustfull also commended the move.
“So cool and so brave of you, dear Kel,” wrote Quinty Trustfull.
Actor Jan Kooijman and singer Shary-An praised the transition. Program judge William Rutten expressed his commendation.
