Portraits of Vietnamese beauty queens who surprisingly transformed after their coronation

Mai Phuong Thuy

Mai Phuong Thuy was crowned Miss Vietnam in 2006. At the time of her coronation, her beauty was still a topic of public discussion with the image of a beauty queen with "gap teeth and brown skin".

After 17 years, Mai Phuong Thuy has had a dramatic change in appearance. Many people commented that she is much more beautiful and attractive than before.

In a 2020 media interview, Mai Phuong Thuy admitted to having undergone cosmetic surgery to improve her appearance. The beauty revealed that she wanted to "go under the knife" to be beautiful and to improve some of her body's flaws. In addition, the audience also saw a positive change in the 8X model's appearance when she whitened her skin and lost weight.

Currently 34 years old, Mai Phuong Thuy's beauty is considered to be increasingly more attractive. Thanks to a scientific diet combined with exercise, Miss Vietnam 2006 maintains a youthful appearance compared to her real age.

Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen

Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen was crowned Miss Vietnam 2014 at the age of 18. At that time, the beauty from Nam Dinh had a chubby, cute face, with harmonious but not outstanding features. Therefore, she was involved in many controversies about her beauty, and was considered unworthy of the title of Miss.

Since the end of 2014, Ky Duyen has been trying to change her image. In 2 years (2015 and 2016), the beauty has continuously attracted attention because of her unexpected transformation in appearance. She pursues a bold, sexy style. Her face has also changed a lot, such as a slimmer chin and fuller lips.

However, in response to the suspicion of "chin surgery", Miss Vietnam 2014 denied it. She explained that her strange face was due to... massage and acupressure.

Do My Linh was crowned Miss Vietnam 2016 at the age of 20. When she was first crowned Miss, audiences often debated the beauty of the Hanoi-born beauty with comments such as "bland", "not outstanding"...

Looking back on her journey from the time she was crowned to the present, Do My Linh has been praised for her "spectacular transformation". The beauty has improved her appearance over time. The "dark skinned" beauty queen now has white skin and a slim body. Since 2018, the 9X beauty queen has moved towards a more mature style.

Many people also suspected that My Linh had plastic surgery after her appearance changed. However, the beauty queen denied having undergone any surgery. Do My Linh said she only had a whitening bath and lost weight.

In a 2017 program, the beauty once expressed her opinion: "In some cases, if there are serious defects that make people lose confidence, then cosmetic surgery is necessary and humane. If just because of a few small defects, people rush to fix them to be perfectly beautiful, then everyone will be beautiful in a stereotypical way, difficult to impress. Sometimes the defects make the difference."

After 7 years, Do My Linh is still a beauty queen who receives a lot of attention from the audience. She creates sympathy for her intelligence, good education and simple lifestyle. The beauty is confident and satisfied with her current image and thanks the audience for their comments to help her constantly improve herself.

In particular, her beauty improved impressively after getting braces in 2021. The beauty from Thanh Hoa improved some of her flaws, confidently showing off her bright smile and a more harmonious and balanced face.
