Phuong Linh's official national costume at Miss International 2016

The meaning of the national costume that Phuong Linh wore at Miss International 2016 is to honor the youthfulness and purity while still exuding the authority and nobility of Vietnamese women.

Ao Dai runner-up Phuong Linh is currently representing Vietnam in the Miss International 2016 pageant. During her time participating in the pageant, the beauty made an impression with the award "Japan Tourism Ambassador". Before the final stages, Phuong Linh also officially revealed the image of the official national costume that she will wear at the final night.

The national costume competition is always an attractive part of the beauty pageant, because in addition to honoring the beauty of the wearer, each design also represents the culture and meaning of that country. This national costume is a creative product of designer Dinh Van Tho, with white as the main color. The meaning of this costume is to honor the youthfulness and purity but still exudes the authority and nobility of Vietnamese women.

On the front of the costume is an image of doves flying to carry hope and ambitions of a peaceful world everywhere.

Behind the cloak is designed to show the elegance and power of Vietnamese women. However, the main point is that the cloak has a picture of a Japanese woman in kimono inviting a Vietnamese woman in ao dai to tea ceremony.

According to Phuong Linh: "In the Japanese tea drinking custom, an indispensable element is the flower arrangement. Instead, to highlight the cultural exchange as well as the friendship and solidarity between the two countries, Linh chose instead of sitting and enjoying tea while watching the flower arrangement, the two women will watch the lotus flowers in the majestic scenery of Mount Fuji and the cherry blossoms, the symbol of the land of the rising sun."

Phuong Linh's national costumes both promote the image of Vietnamese women and demonstrate cultural exchange, friendship and peace.

Currently, the contestants of the Miss International pageant are entering the final activities and practicing to prepare for the final night which will take place on October 27 in Japan.
