Miss Vietnam "makes a stir" internationally, gets into heated controversy, people ask questions?

2024 can be considered a "golden" year for Vietnamese beauty when our beauties continuously make strong impressions in international beauty arenas. These achievements and failures make many people ask: What is the purpose of beauty pageants?

According to Mr. Phung Cong Suong, Editor-in-Chief of Tien Phong Newspaper, Head of the Miss Vietnam Organizing Committee, the purpose of the contest is not only to find a beautiful face, but also to find and spread the good values of Vietnamese women: beauty, culture, intelligence and dedication.

The contest is an official playground, creating an environment to discover and nurture talents and noble qualities. The criteria for selecting contestants always emphasize natural beauty and respect traditional values. At the same time, the contest is constantly innovating to suit a dynamic and integrated young generation.

In fact, 2024 is a year marked by many exciting activities of Vietnamese beauty in the international arena. Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy's victory at Miss International is a bright spot, the first time Vietnam has reached this prestigious crown. Thanh Thuy conquered the judges and the audience with her radiant beauty, sharp intelligence and confident demeanor.

Not only that, Bui Khanh Linh, the beauty who just won 3rd runner-up at Miss Intercontinental 2024, also made fans proud with her remarkable achievements. Khanh Linh not only maintained the high achievements of Vietnamese representatives at this contest but also brought home the sub-award of Miss Intercontinental Asia - Oceania, affirming her stable performance and tireless efforts.

No less impressive, Bui Xuan Hanh entered the Top 5 at Miss Cosmo, the first contest held, attracting great attention from the international beauty community. This achievement helped her leave a deep mark in her career and conquer many hearts.

However, the journey to conquer the crown is not always full of roses. At Miss Universe 2024, despite many years of experience and impressive catwalk skills, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen only stopped at the Top 30, a result that was not as expected by many fans. Similarly, Huynh Nguyen Mai Phuong at Miss World only stopped at the Top 40 despite possessing excellent English communication skills.

In addition, Vo Le Que Anh, despite receiving great expectations when participating in Miss Grand International 2024, could not break through and "left empty-handed" in the contest. This interrupted Vietnam's 8-year streak of Top achievements at Miss Grand International. In addition, Cao Ngoc Bich and Lydie Vu could not achieve outstanding results at Miss Earth and Miss Supranational, causing regret in the hearts of fans.

Does international achievement fully reflect the purpose of the Miss Vietnam contest? The answer lies in the journey of effort and maturity of each beauty. Whether successful or not, they all gain valuable lessons, develop themselves and become representatives of the intellectual and humane beauty of Vietnamese women.

However, when carrying the bell to strike in a foreign land, the contestants also face a lot of pressure and expectations from the domestic audience. They not only compete with international opponents but also have to maintain the cultural identity and traditional beauty of Vietnamese women. This requires them to have confidence, courage and thorough preparation before participating in the competition.

Successes and failures in the international arena all have their own values. Every step of Vietnamese beauty queens, whether domestic or international, is a strong message about the beauty, talent and dedication of Vietnamese women. These experiences will be valuable assets, contributing to affirming the position of Vietnamese beauty on the world map.
