Runner-up To Huong Lan - then and now

More than 22 years after winning the title of 1st runner-up in the Miss Vietnam contest in 1994, the beauty of the Tuyen Quang beauty who was once praised as "first in the North, second in the whole country" To Huong Lan is still radiant and charming.

The winner of the 1994 Miss pageant was Miss Thu Thuy, but the audience admired no less the beauty praised as "first in the North, second in the country" of first runner-up To Huong Lan.

To Huong Lan was born in 1977. She participated in the Miss Vietnam 1994 contest when she was a 12th grade student in Tuyen Quang. With a height of 1.66m and a lovely, elegant beauty, To Huong Lan entered the national finals with the title of Miss Northern Provinces a month earlier.

With the charming and attractive beauty of a "wild flower", To Huong Lan was predicted to be Miss, but the beauty from Tuyen Quang only stopped at the 1st runner-up position, making many people surprised and regretful. Thu Thuy with her smart answers and the educated beauty of a Hanoi lady rose to win the Miss crown. The 2nd runner-up title belonged to the beauty from Ho Chi Minh City, Trinh Kim Chi.

Although she did not win the highest position, To Huong Lan was still satisfied and comfortable. She was considered one of the most beautiful runners-up in the history of Miss Vietnam. The beauty of the Tuyen beauty was even praised as "First in the North, second in the whole country".

Not only that, To Huong Lan is also a rare beauty who does not pursue the limelight of showbiz but diligently pursues and advances in her studies.

After the contest, she participated in several major fashion shows such as Duyên dáng Việt Nam and Một nhanh Sài Gòn, but she felt that she was not suited to the spotlight and gradually withdrew from fashion shows to focus on studying at Hanoi Oriental University.

It is reported that the runner-up later worked at a company under the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group. Not only that, To Huong Lan also studied for a master's degree at the Hanoi Military Technical Academy, majoring in Science and Technology Management.

The beauty got married, had children and seemed to live a happy life with a real estate businessman. However, “the blue sky is used to the habit of the red cheeks being jealous”, To Huong Lan’s private life also encountered many storms when her partner stumbled in the business world…

Although she has been in hiding and hardly participates in entertainment activities, the audience still looks forward to seeing the images of the beautiful and gorgeous runner-up from the past. And at the beginning of this new year, To Huong Lan suddenly "reappeared" when she accepted to perform in the fashion show taking place on the evening of January 7 in Hanoi to celebrate the anniversary of the sewing industry on December 12.

According to designer Anh Thu, in addition to runner-up To Huong Lan, "To have a day" also brings together many beauty queens and "once-famous" beauties such as Miss Vietnam 1994 Thu Thuy, Miss Vietnam Women 2000 Tran Bao Ngoc, Miss Noel 1996 Hoang Xuan, Runner-up Vietnam 1996 Do Van Anh, Runner-up Vietnam 1998 Ngo Thuy Ha, Former supermodel Thuy Hang...

“For a long time, To Huong Lan has not participated in any art program, only focusing on work at VNPT and taking care of her children. But because designer Tien Loi and I are people who can be said to be of the same generation, have been close and worked together before, To Huong Lan accepted the fashion show because of the meaning of the program and the love for each other,” designer Anh Thu shared.

It can be said that, after 22 years of winning the title of 1st runner-up in the Miss Vietnam contest in 1994, the beauty of the Tuyen Quang beauty who was once praised as "first in the North, second in the whole country" To Huong Lan is still radiant and charming.
