After winning the national title, Thuy Lam represented Vietnam in the Miss Universe 2008 contest and entered the top 15. However, while being sought after by the media and the public, the beauty from Thai Binh suddenly got married to her long-time boyfriend. After that, she gave birth to 2 children, 1 boy and 1 girl.
Becoming "someone else's wife", the 8X beauty seemed to "freeze" her artistic activities, focusing on taking care of her family. She also moved to Hanoi to follow her husband, and in 2021, she gave birth to another child.

Pham Huong
Succeeding Thuy Lam in 2015, Pham Huong (real name Pham Thi Huong, born in 1991) was highly appreciated by the media for her beauty and charisma and was expected to win a high ranking at Miss Universe 2015. However, she returned empty-handed.
However, this did not affect Pham Huong's reputation and name. Returning home, she was still in demand and loved by many people.

After returning from a brilliant journey at Miss Universe, H'Hen Niê regularly appeared in events, programs and was in high demand for advertising. In 2021, the 9X model tried her hand at acting in a movie but failed to make a splash.
Over the years, H'Hen Niê has been loved by many people for her simple lifestyle and her enthusiastic participation in charity activities. The beauty queen born in 1992 built a spacious house for her parents, but still kept the family's familiar stilt house in the village. Every time she returns to her hometown, H'Hen Niê does not hesitate to go bare-faced, garden, and go barefoot in an extremely simple way.
