Reviewing the beauty contest achievements of Vietnamese beauties in 2022

In recent years, Vietnam has sent many representatives to participate in international beauty contests and has also achieved many impressive achievements. Most notably, Phuong Khanh was crowned Miss Earth 2018, Thuy Tien was crowned Miss Peace 2021 and H'Hen Nie was in the Top 5 of Miss Universe 2018.

After nearly 2 years of being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2022, Vietnamese beauties are excited to participate in international beauty contests. The investment of Vietnamese beauties and the influence of the media have made international beauty pageants receive special attention from domestic audiences.

Kim Duyen is the first Vietnamese beauty to participate in an international beauty pageant in 2022 and bring home impressive achievements. She excellently won the title of 2nd Runner-up at the Miss Supranational 2022 contest. This is also considered the highest position Vietnam has ever achieved in this beauty pageant.

However, due to the nature and scale of the organization not being too grand, the victory of the beauty born in 1995 did not create an "explosion" for the country's beauty village. Previously, she represented Vietnam at Miss Universe 2021 and entered the Top 16 finalists.

After Kim Duyen, beauty Do Thi Ha represented Vietnam in Miss World and also successfully entered the Top 13. This position is considered suitable for the bravery and efforts of the beauty from Thanh Hoa. She successfully maintained a streak of being in the top 5 consecutive seasons of Vietnam's representative at Miss World since 2015.

In October 2022, beauty Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc was crowned Miss Intercontinental 2022. She became the first Vietnamese beauty to win this title. She is also the third Vietnamese beauty to win the highest title at international beauty contests after Miss Nguyen Phuong Khanh - Miss Earth 2018 and Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien - Miss Grand International 2021.

Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc’s victory was not beyond the predictions of beauty fans in Vietnam as well as websites that follow international beauty contests. Before the final night, the Vietnamese representative was predicted by the beauty website Missosology to win the second runner-up position while fans in Vietnam expected her to win the crown.

In the final night, Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc won over the audience and judges with her confident and inspiring performance. Bao Ngoc received the question "Which failure in life has taught you the most lessons?".

The 22-year-old beauty replied: "If you don't try your best, it will lead to failure. Therefore, I have learned the lesson that, when doing anything, you have to try 100%, use everything you have to contribute. And the challenge I want to conquer the most is the title of Miss Intercontinental. I am ready, Vietnam is ready for the title of Miss Intercontinental."

Bao Ngoc always maintains the necessary energy and brilliance during the competition journey. She is also the contestant with the highest score in the closed interview round. With an IELTS 8.0 English proficiency and eloquence, Bao Ngoc can easily communicate and express herself in front of the media.

The Miss Supranational 2022 pageant takes place at the same time as Miss Grand International 2022. In terms of media impact, Miss Supranational is somewhat inferior to the pageant taking place at the same time. Therefore, Thien An - Vietnam's representative at Miss Grand International 2022 receives more attention and support from Vietnamese audiences.

Despite high expectations, Thien An only stopped at the Top 20 of Miss Grand 2022. After the contest, the noisy controversies and derogatory comments about Thien An's appearance from the President of Miss Grand made Vietnamese audiences gradually turn their backs on the contest. Although she stopped quite early, Thien An still left a good impression in the hearts of the audience. She also won the additional award Country's power of the year, an award voted by the audience.

Thach Thu Thao is the representative of Vietnam at the Miss Earth 2022 arena. The beauty born in 2001 had a not very smooth journey to the competition. On the day of her introduction to the media and fans, the Vietnamese representative had an unconvincing introduction in English.

Throughout the competition, Thu Thao did not win any secondary awards and was quite obscure compared to her opponents. However, in the final night, she still excelled in the Top 20 and this was an achievement beyond the audience's expectations for the 22-year-old beauty.

In 2022, Vietnam also won the 4th runner-up prize at Miss Globe for beauty Lam Thu Hong. This contest had 50 contestants participating and Thu Hong also won an additional prize.The most beautiful national costume.

Ngoc Chau and Phuong Anh are the last two beauties of Vietnam to participate in the international beauty arena in 2022. They are also two candidates highly appreciated by fans and international websites, ranked as potential candidates for the title of Miss. However, the achievements of the two beauties surprised fans. They were not named in the Top and did not win any secondary awards of the contest.

Considered the most comprehensive candidate of Vietnam to be sent to Miss Universe, the beauty from Tay Ninh - Ngoc Chau had an impressive journey. However, in the final, Ngoc Chau could not make it to the Top 16. This means that Vietnam has lost its streak of being in the top for the past 4 years.

However, Ngoc Chau's efforts are still recognized by the audience. It cannot be denied that the Miss Universe 2022 arena has many bright candidates, comprehensive in appearance, performance skills and behavioral skills.

After the final night, Ngoc Chau shared on her personal page: "Chau wants to apologize to everyone, to those who have always followed and supported Chau from the very beginning. Chau apologizes for not being able to make the two words Vietnam be shouted many times on the Miss Universe stage."

"Chau is grateful for all the love and support that everyone has given her. Chau will always remember and cherish those things. A wonderful journey of youth," the Vietnamese representative expressed.

Similar to Ngoc Chau, Phuong Anh also surprised domestic audiences when she was not in the Top 15 of Miss International 2022. She is considered a strong candidate in both beauty and intelligence. However, luck did not smile on the beauty in this playground.

On her personal account, after the contest, Phuong Anh apologized to the audience and thanked everyone for following, supporting and loving her throughout her journey. "Thank you Miss International 2022 for giving Phuong Anh memorable memories and this will be a beautiful youth journey that Phuong Anh has in her life," the Vietnamese runner-up shared.

Each beauty pageant has different criteria for evaluating and selecting candidates. In particular, in international pageants, fierce competition is inevitable because most countries send excellent representatives to participate with the expectation of winning high titles.

Vietnamese representatives participating in the biggest beauty contests in 2022 have all made every effort for the country's flag throughout the journey. The results may not be what fans expected, but the efforts and dedication of Vietnamese beauties "bringing bells to strike foreign lands" still deserve to be recognized and cherished.
