On the evening of October 22, 70 beautiful flowers of Miss Grand International 2023 officially entered the semi-final round, taking place at Phu Tho Gymnasium (HCMC). Here, the contestants undergo a name-calling competition combined with evening gown and swimsuit performances.

Accordingly, the semi-finals took place with a massively invested stage, along with careful preparation of the performance skills of Hoang Phuong and the international candidates. Thousands of spectators were present at the theater early to cheer for the beauty they love.

However, after watching a series of performances, many people commented that the shouting of names of many Miss Grand International contestants this season did not maintain the "fire" like previous years.

They chanted names and countries lightly, not creating the prominence the audience wanted. Plus, the catwalk on stage was too ordinary, making viewers feel monotonous without any highlights. In return, the enthusiastic cheering of the audience below, who always cheered every time a contestant appeared, helped make the atmosphere of the semi-final night more bustling and exciting than ever.

In particular, beauties from Colombia, Peru... had a fierce chant and an extremely impressive performance. As for the representative of Ghana, she shouted in an operatic voice, making the audience extremely excited. Miss Grand Guatemala had a graceful catwalk like she was dancing.

Notably, contestants from Belarus, Cambodia, Honduras, Thailand... wore evening gowns that were too bold, especially the representative from Kosovo, making the audience "sore" because they revealed their clothes during the performance.

It is known that many candidates chose to design or tailor evening gowns from designer Nguyen Minh Tuan for the semi-final night, making this guy very happy.

Nguyen Minh Tuan added that he was very proud to be contacted early by the country's national directors to order dresses for their representatives to participate in Miss Grand International 2023.

"Some representatives said that when they learned that I had made the dress for Thuy Tien to attend Miss Grand International 2021 and be crowned, they wanted to contact me when their contestants came to Vietnam to compete," the designer recounted.

Returning to the semi-final night, the audience felt the real excitement of a beauty contest when witnessing the swimsuit performances of 70 girls from all over the world.

Every time Hoang Phuong appears, beauty fans cheer enthusiastically. The Khanh Hoa queen herself also had an impressive performance on stage, especially for Vietnamese fans. This clearly reflects the home field advantage of the Vietnamese representative.

Worth mentioning, Hoang Phuong's gesture of putting her hand on her face reminded many people of Chi Pu when the female singer participated in "Ty Sister Rides the Wind and Turns the Waves 2023" in China.

Specifically, in the 5th performance round, singer Anh Oi Anh In performed the songs "Swing" (Chinese version - SUPER JUNIOR) and Lonely Dance - rap version in the show The Rap of China 2022. Before raising his voice, Chi Pu performed many beautiful dance moves, including the moment when she gently stroked her beautiful face with her hand, making the audience continuously cheer.

Because this detail has similarities with Hoang Phuong's performance last night, many people are wondering, is the 9X queen recreating Chi Pu's movements? However, netizens believe that this is just a coincidence or even that this performance has been popular for a long time.
