Mai Phuong Thuy talks about the title of Miss Vietnam
At the age of 37, Miss Mai Phuong Thuy chose to grow up quietly, away from noise and glamour. The only thing she wishes for is to be healthy to live each day to the fullest.
On August 6, Miss Vietnam 2006 Mai Phuong Thuy celebrated her 37th birthday in a private, simple but meaningful space. Different from her usual glamorous image, the beauty queen chose a minimalist, elegant style in her birthday photoshoot, still standing out thanks to her attractive demeanor.
Instead of holding a lavish party, Mai Phuong Thuy welcomed her new age with a private evening with her family and close friends. "As each year passes, I realize that health is the most important thing. When I am healthy, I have enough energy to live positively, learn new things, and do many upcoming projects with my colleagues," she shared.
Despite withdrawing from showbiz for a while, Mai Phuong Thuy still retains her own appeal thanks to her modern beauty, intellectual demeanor and kind lifestyle. Over the past year, she has been almost absent from the media, spending most of her time on investment work and silent charity activities. The 8X beauty said she is nurturing a number of personal projects related to education, art and community development, expected to be implemented in 2026.
August is not only Mai Phuong Thuy’s birthday but also marks the 19th anniversary of her coronation as Miss Vietnam. According to her, Miss Vietnam is not simply a title but also an event to remind people of the achievements of youth.
Looking back on the past, the beauty from Hanoi confided:"August is not only my birthday but also marks 19 years since I was crowned Miss Vietnam. It's been a long journey, full of emotions and memories."
At the same time, Mai Phuong Thuy shared that she always cherishes and is grateful for the title of Miss Vietnam and considers this an important milestone that has opened up many opportunities for her to grow and gain valuable experiences. "Thanks to that title, I have the opportunity to enter worlds that if I were just an ordinary girl, I probably would never have reached," the beauty expressed.
But after nearly two decades, she chose to put the title aside to explore life with new perspectives without being "bound" by a certain stereotype. However, according to Mai Phuong Thuy, putting the title aside is not to forget but to start new journeys. "19 years have passed, I am no longer the 18-year-old girl standing on stage that year. But I still keep my gratitude, and keep the fire of love for everything that youth has brought me," Mai Phuong Thuy confided.
