"Hva så" in danish is more like .. What's up and how are you doing and what's happening..
"Sjælland" is an island in Denmark and the right translation is Zealand (without New)..
So .. my translation would sound like: "What's up - miss Zealand?"

There is no Miss Zealand unless that is her formal name like Miss Smith, or Miss whatever. If it is the beauty queen, it must be Miss New Zealand.

Dramati: Zealand is an island in Denmark, where they took the name New Zealand from.

And this one could be joking, like saying that the girl is just an "important" girl from Sjaelland.
A couple of days ago I was calling a friend of mine Miss QI, because she was saying that she's very smart.

ok,

But even so, unless you are sure this is a joke, it is not proper English. And if it is a joke, in any event, as a proper name, it must be capitalized in English as Miss Zealand.
