Not stopping there, she continued to study and completed a Master's program in Finance - Banking at the National Economics University.

At the final night of Mrs Grand Vietnam 2025, To Thi Ly's performance left a deep impression. In response to the question: "How do you think gender equality affects peace in families and society?”, she replied with confidence and clear views.

“I believe that gender equality is a solid foundation for building peace both at home and in society. When women and men are respected, listened to and empowered equally, we not only create a fair environment, but also promote understanding, empathy and shared responsibility.

In an equal family, children will grow up in love, without discrimination, and learn to be kind and respectful to others. When such families multiply in society, we will have a harmonious and sustainable community. Gender equality is not just a right, but the path to a civilized and humane world.”, she said.

Runner-up To Thi Ly sees the contest as the beginning of her journey to spread inspiration. She hopes to connect and motivate many other women to realize their own beauty, value and ability.

She shared: “Modern women do not need to be perfect, but they must understand that they have value. Confidence does not only come from appearance, but from knowledge, independence and the way we love ourselves."
