Le Au Ngan Anh won 4th runner-up Miss Intercontinental 2018
In the final on the evening of January 26 in the Philippines, Miss Ocean was named 4th runner-up after her fluent English performance.
Before the final round, Ngan Anh was announced as the winner of the 'Miss People's Choice' award and won a spot in the top 6. On the night of January 26, she entered the interview round with the 5 most beautiful people from the continents: Philippines (Asia and Oceania), Colombia, Costa Rica (South America), Slovakia (Europe) and Ethiopia (Africa). All 6 contestants answered the same question: "How do you define success?". |
Ngan Anh was the last person to participate in the question and answer round. She confidently answered in English: "I believe that success is defined by who you are now, what you aim for and how you achieve it. For me personally, success is when I overcome challenges for my dream. You know, I am a victim of online attacks but today I stand in front of everyone to honor the power of beauty, to fight for countries around the world to become wonderful places. I believe this is the greatest achievement I have made in my life." With an answer that received praise from many viewers, Ngan Anh won 4th runner-up in the contest. |
The Miss Intercontinental 2018 crown went to the Philippines beauty, Karen Gallman (26 years old). The first runner-up was awarded to the representative of Costa Rica, the second runner-up was a contestant from the Slovak Republic, the third runner-up was a beauty from Colombia, and the fifth runner-up was a representative from Ethiopia. |
Also in the final night, when performing in evening gown, Ngan Anh had an incident where her underwear was exposed. The tight red dress accentuated the curves of Miss Ocean 2017’s body, but the high slit detail almost reaching her hips caused her to accidentally have an unflattering moment from the camera angle. |
Ngan Anh's face is considered unphotogenic. |
In the swimsuit competition, when catwalking on stage, Ngan Anh waved her hands and walked awkwardly, her facial expression was stiff, and her eyes were still squinting. |
However, Ngan Anh is still considered a contestant with a beautiful body with measurements of 87-57-97. |
The Miss Intercontinental 2018 finale took place on the evening of January 26 in Manila, Philippines. According to the initial announcement from the organizing committee, the competition night was to start at 8pm local time (7pm Hanoi time), but was then repeatedly delayed, causing the audience to express their anger on the Fanpage. The competition night also had a continuous "dead" stage between the main competitions. |
During the competition night, more than 80 beauties competed in national costumes, bikinis and evening gowns. Miss Intercontinental has a 47-year history and is held annually in the Philippines. The competition does not prohibit contestants from having plastic surgery. |
