The outfit was inspired by bamboo and rattan, symbolizing traditional craft villages in Vietnam, and was chosen by the runner-up to wear in the final round of the world's biggest beauty contest.

After many months of launching the contest to design traditional costumes for the Vietnamese representative at Miss Universe 2016, the 5 best designs were introduced not long ago. From the 5 designs, the final costume was selected based on the total score of the judges, the audience's votes and Le Hang's personal vote. |
 |
The official design chosen for Le Hang to wear in the final night is called Nang May, conceived and executed by Thai Trung Tin. Nang May takes the idea of beauty from simplicity, folk materials, and familiarity of traditional weaving villages. |
 |
The fish traps are shaped like rice flowers. The art of weaving expressed through costumes proves the potential for improvement and development of Vietnam's long-standing traditional handicraft. Thai Trung Tin traveled to the Philippines last weekend to support Le Hang in making the most impressive appearance on the final stage. |

Stopping at second place in the journey to select the national costume for the Vietnamese representative is the design Hon Viet by contestant Nguyen Huu Binh. The work is based on the image of the poem conical hat of Hue. The wings of the costume simulate the image of the Bronze drum. |
 |
Mau Nghi is the second design of Thai Trung Tin. |
 |
Contestant Pham Lam My's design was inspired by the Hue Royal Costume and the art of porcelain mosaic. |
 |
The design is called Phoenix Dance and was conceived and implemented by Nguyen Duc Hai. |
