What are the first generation of Vietnamese models doing now?

Twins Thuy Hang and Thuy Hanh were born in 1978 and started their catwalk careers at the age of 15, when the modeling profession in Vietnam was just starting out. With a height of 1.65 m, both were once fashion phenomenons with their attractive looks and performance styles. In their early 20s, when they were at the peak of their careers, Thuy Hang and Thuy Hanh founded a company specializing in training and managing models. Since getting married and having children, they have limited their appearances on the catwalk to doing backstage work. In 2013, they held a party to celebrate their 20th anniversary in the profession. The beauty of the two sisters is still considered unchanged from when they were famous. The happy family of Thuy Hanh and musician Minh Khang is admired by many people.

Truong Ngoc Anh was born in 1976 in Hanoi, and was one of the famous names on the catwalk in the 1990s. The highlight of Truong Ngoc Anh's career was the Miss International Fashion Egypt 1998. In the early 2000s, she joined the Random Quartet, but only sang for a short time before focusing on her film career.

Truong Ngoc Anh's love life is also of public interest. In 2005, she married director Tran Bao Son and gave birth to a daughter. In April 2014, the couple divorced, and she dated actor Kim Ly for a while before breaking up.

After being crowned Miss Cinema 1994, Ngo My Uyen was invited to perform catwalk and act in movies. Along with Truong Ngoc Anh, she was always a favored name in the fashion industry at that time. In 1999, Ngo My Uyen became Miss International Fashion Egypt. After that, she worked in the arts for a while, then settled abroad and got married. Occasionally, the beauty returned to the country as a model, magician or MC.

She was once affectionately called the Vietnamese Marilyn Monroe and was paid one of the highest salaries at that time. By 2006, she limited her acting, only taking fashion photos and appearing in special shows. The model tried her hand at many different jobs such as MC, PR, and singing.

In 2008, Ngoc Thuy married tycoon Duc An after meeting him for seven days and then followed him to the US. After two years of living together, the two filed for divorce.

Her love life has encountered many difficulties. In 2007, she married Diep Thanh Tuyen - the director of a pharmaceutical company after nearly a year of dating, and then gave birth to a daughter named Kha Doanh. In 2011, they divorced. In 2013, she became pregnant and married businessman Tran Thong. The second marriage was also not perfect as the two often argued. The former model divorced for the second time in 2015.
