Khanh Van wears LGBT-inspired dress

Khanh Van's outfit for the 10th day at Miss Universe was designed by Tang Thanh Cong. The purple dress has a tight fit, with cut-outs on both sides to accentuate her curves and long legs. The highlight of the outfit is the giant, floor-length bow with a green flag pattern. She paired it with a mask designed to match the bow.

Purple - a mix of pink (representing female) and blue (representing male) - has long been a symbol of LGBT, associated with the history of the struggle of this community since the late 19th century. Meanwhile, the six-color rainbow has been chosen as the flag color of homosexuals, transgender people... since 1979 until now. Khanh Van wants to send a message of support to people in this community through her outfit.

The beauty wore a rainbow-colored mask. Khanh Van brought hundreds of outfits but only wore about 25.

The Vietnamese representative and the contestants are practicing for the final. The beauty said she feels comfortable, enjoys the competition, and feels no pressure. She limits the use of her phone to focus on practicing, only interacting with the audience during breakfast or dinner parties.

Miss Universe 2020 lasts about 12 days, the finale on the morning of May 17 (Vietnam time) in Hollywood, Florida. International beauties gathered from the beginning of May. The organizers did not require contestants to quarantine for 14 days. Instead, they went through many rounds of testing before participating in the sub-competitions. The audience can vote for Khanh Van to go straight to the Top 21 through the Miss Universe app (deadline May 15).
