H'Hen Nie is probably a great ending to a successful 2018 for Vietnamese beauties on the international stage. |
It can be said that 2018 is a year of great success for Vietnamese beauty.
H'Hen Niê is perhaps a wonderful ending to a successful 2018 for Vietnamese beauties on the international stage. Throughout her journey to Miss Universe 2018, H'Hen Niê captured the hearts of international audiences with her dynamism, kindness and the humane story she brought to the contest.
It is the journey from an Ede ethnic girl in the vast Central Highlands mountains to the crown of Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 and top 5 Miss Universe 2018 - Vietnam's highest achievement in this contest.
Although not in the top 3, H'Hen Nie's story has made many prestigious international newspapers praise her. Many beauty sites also commented that H'Hen Nie's success will be a stepping stone for many Vietnamese contestants to continue to develop.
Next, Miss Vietnam 2018 Tran Tieu Vy also achieved a better ranking than expected at Miss World 2018. Accordingly, Tieu Vy was one of the 5 contestants who won the "Beauty with a Heart" award thanks to the project "Journey of Water" and was given a special place in the top 30 finalists.
Although she had to stop in the top 10, supermodel Minh Tu still attracted attention at Miss Supranational when she continuously showed off her skillful catwalks in the competitions. Minh Tu was always predicted by beauty sites to be the owner of the crown. The title of Miss Supranational Asia partly recognized her tireless efforts.
The outstanding international achievements of the beauties this year also include the very important contribution of Nguyen Phuong Khanh - the first Vietnamese beauty to be crowned Miss Earth 2018.
