The crowning moment of the new Miss Vietnam, Dang Thu Thao.

Do Hoang Anh was the first contestant to participate in the Q&A round. "When do you feel most beautiful?" was the question posed to her. Hoang Anh answered: "I think I'm most beautiful when I'm with my mother and family, performing my favorite dances. I want to be like my mother, raising us together with my father to become a happy family, knowing how to love and appreciate people."

Phan Thi Mo was asked, "If you could go to Truong Sa, what would you bring for the soldiers and people there?" She replied, "The soldiers far from the mainland face many difficulties, so I would bring the red flag with a yellow star because Vietnamese people, no matter where they are, always look towards their homeland. I want to tell them that the hearts of the people on the mainland are with them so that they can successfully complete their mission."

When asked, "What do you think is the most influential aspect of the Youth Union?", Duong Tu Anh replied: "Becoming a Youth Union member is an important step in the life of Vietnamese youth. The most influential aspect is the slogan 'Wherever youth are needed, youth will be there; wherever there are difficulties, youth will overcome them,' reflecting the strength and character of Youth Union members who are not afraid of challenges. Vietnamese youth actively participate in social activities. I am proud to be a member of the Youth Union."

Dang Thu Thao received the question, "Why do billions of people still passionately follow beauty pageants regardless of the circumstances?" and responded as follows: "Women play an important role in life and are called the fairer sex. Beauty pageants are organized to honor the beauty of women. Watching a competition is like seeing beautiful flowers, learning about the culture of many regions, and the manners of these beautiful women."

Vu Ngoc Anh answered the question: "If you had the opportunity to go to My Khe Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, and put a message in a small bottle, what would you write to send to your friends around the world?" as follows: "If I had the chance to stand on the shores of My Khe Beach, I would write that no matter who you are, we all exist in the same ocean, so let's protect and preserve our beautiful ocean together."

Before the final night, from the very first days of arriving in Da Nang, the 40 finalists of the Miss Vietnam 2012 competition participated in social work and charity activities at centers for war veterans in Da Nang City, centers for children and victims of Agent Orange in the city, etc. At 7 PM on August 25th, crowds of people were flocking to the Tien Son Sports Arena - the cultural center of Da Nang City, with its unique flying saucer-shaped architecture, symbolizing a young, creative, and dynamic city.

Forty beautiful contestants greeted the audience at the beginning of the final night. The main stage for the contestants' performances wasn't overly grand in scale, but it was beautiful with its sophisticated design. The director of the final night, Lai Bac Hai Dang, stated that the stage was designed with the contestants in mind, avoiding a grandiose design that would overshadow them. The overall script for the final night was kept "secret" until the very last moment.

Thousands of spectators flocked to watch the live final at the Tuyen Son Sports Palace, millions of readers watched online on various information channels, and television viewers nationwide eagerly awaited the contestants' performances and the final results of Miss Vietnam 2012. At exactly 8 PM on August 25th, the final night of the Miss Vietnam 2012 competition officially began. On the main stage backdrop, an image of the contestants greeting the sunrise in Da Nang appeared. The space was shrouded in darkness, then suddenly five streams of light, symbolizing the Five Elements, radiated and merged together. Amidst the sound of thunder, a shimmering dragon egg emerged from the mist, its colors changing. The egg split open, and the finalists of Miss Vietnam appeared impressively from the broken dragon egg. The 40 most beautiful girls of the Miss Vietnam 2012 final appeared on stage, moving gracefully to the music.


The two hosts of the program are Anh Tuan and Jennifer Pham. Both hosts shared their impressions of the beautiful contestants participating in this year's competition.

The girls all hoped that their month in Da Nang would be an opportunity to make friends, socialize, learn, and become the most beautiful girl in Vietnam. They all appeared very confident in their introductions.

The first segment of the final night was the Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) performance. 40 girls walked gracefully in their Ao Dai, smiling and greeting the audience. Against an impressive sand painting backdrop, the contestants began their Ao Dai presentation. The contestants' traditional costumes were quite impressive. Among the audience, contestant Vuong Thu Phuong – one of the strong contenders for the Miss Vietnam 2012 title – sat quietly. The organizers stated that they will provide an official response to the press tomorrow, August 26th, regarding her absence from the final night. According to initial information, although Vuong Thu Phuong is not legally married, she has actually had a wedding ceremony, which violates the competition's regulations.

Contestant Vuong Thu Phuong appeared in the audience during the final night. There were reports that Thu Phuong violated the rules and was therefore forced to be absent from the final. The next segment was the swimsuit competition – one of the most exciting parts of the final night. While the traditional Vietnamese dress (áo dài) segment celebrated the graceful, feminine, and modest beauty of the contestants, the swimsuit segment allowed them to showcase their physical advantages and alluring beauty. In red bikinis, the beautiful girls confidently strode across the stage. The vibrant rap music further energized the contestants throughout the second segment.

The contestants are entering the third segment of the final night, the evening gown competition. Sparkling red gowns are the preferred choice for their performance. In their evening gowns, the beauties look gentle yet undeniably charming! Interspersed between the contestants' performances are impressive and captivating musical acts.

After three exciting rounds of competition – showcasing traditional Vietnamese dresses, swimsuits, and evening gowns – representatives from the organizing committee presented flowers to the 40 finalists of the Miss Vietnam 2012 pageant. The program also featured performances by many famous singers such as Ho Ngoc Ha, Ho Trung Dung, Van Mai Huong, Uyen Linh, and the AC&M group.
