Giang My and Diem My once missed the opportunity to compete in Miss Vietnam.
Giang My missed the Miss Vietnam contest because of her school schedule, Diem My was too tall compared to the regulations of more than 30 years ago.

In 1988, Miss National was organized by Tien Phong newspaper and became a major beauty contest. At that time, Giang My was sent by her school to compete but she refused. The reason was because the contest took place in November, which conflicted with Giang My's school schedule, making her afraid of being affected. ''In the past, academic results and conduct were very important. I prioritized the exam season over the beauty pageant," she said. |
 |
| This information about Giang My made many people regretful. Because she had an attractive, radiant beauty in her youth and could have made a name for herself in the Miss Vietnam pageant back then. |
 |
| However, fate still brought Giang My to the title of Miss Hung Temple in 1992 and has held this sole title until now. |
 |
| Actress Diem My missed the opportunity to compete in Miss National 1988 because she did not meet the requirements. The beauty contest at that time required contestants to be at most 23 years old and between 1.55m and 1.65m tall, while Diem My was 26 years old and 1.73m tall. |
 |
| A year later, when the first Miss Ho Chi Minh City pageant was held, Diem My also withdrew from the competition because she did not meet the age requirements set by the organizers. This news surprised many viewers because in the 80s, Diem My was famous for her beauty with the title "Calendar Queen" and also participated in a number of movies. Therefore, many viewers thought that she could easily win a high prize if she could register. |
 |
| However, thinking back on the past, she does not feel regretful for missing the opportunity to participate in Miss Vietnam. |
 |
| Diem My and Giang My have both become two of the "great beauties" of Vietnamese showbiz. Giang My added that although the two sisters have different beauties - one has Western features, the other has Asian features - most people mistake them for each other. |
 |
| In middle age, they still maintain attractive beauty. |
