Huong Giang stopped at Top 30, close-up of her expression when her name was not called

The Top 30 finalists of Miss Universe 2025 have been revealed but Vietnam’s Huong Giang is missing. Although regretful, the online community is not too surprised by this result because this year there are too many strong competitors.

Before the Final night, Huong Giang had made a good impression on most beauty fans thanks to her stable demeanor. In the Semi-finals, she maintained her spirit and performed her entire performance according to the plan. The moment the beauty loudly shouted the words "Vietnam" on the International Final stage made the home audience proud and moved. However, in a season considered a "race of warriors", stability is sometimes not enough to make a strong impression on the judges.

Many beauty sites commented that Huong Giang was stuck in her comfort zone when she performed well but lacked a breakthrough highlight, leading to difficulty competing with a series of candidates who both possessed strong skills and had inspirational stories. Compared to this year's contestants, especially the representatives from Latin America and Europe, Huong Giang's physical beauty, catwalk skills and stage presence were not enough to create a clear difference. This was also one of the reasons why she was not highly rated in the prediction tables before the G hour.

The moment the MC read the name of the last contestant in the Top 30, the television camera suddenly panned towards Huong Giang. Her forced, regretful smile after not hearing her name made many Vietnamese audiences feel heartbroken. The beauty queen's calmness and effort to control her emotions in the important moment was considered very professional, but still left a difficult-to-hide disappointment.

On Vietnamese social networks, the wave of debate about this year's results rose when many rumors related to Miss Universe's tendency to favor Latin American contestants appeared earlier. This was further reiterated when in the Top 30, the representation rate from this region was quite high. A part of the audience expressed their indignation and thought that the contest was not really fair, while others affirmed that the fact that many Latin American contestants were in the top was reasonable because they excelled in skills and competitive spirit.

However, it cannot be denied that the values Huong Giang brings to Miss Universe 2025 are still recognized. Before the Final, she received a lot of support from the Vietnamese beauty fan community and artist friends. Many Vietnamese stars were present in Thailand to directly cheer and accompany the beauty in the sideline activities of the contest. After the results were announced, a series of encouraging messages were sent to Huong Giang, encouraging her to continue to maintain her spirit and develop her image in the future.

Previously, in the National Costume competition, Huong Giang made a special impression when performing in a schoolgirl ao dai, an outfit associated with a personal story about her youth. However, in the Semi-finals, the beauty's bikini and evening gown performances caused many mixed opinions. Some audiences commented that she performed safely, lacking breakthroughs in expression and stage skills. Her beauty and charisma have not yet reached the sharpness to compete in a fierce season like this year.

Although she did not achieve the expected results, Huong Giang's strengths are her good communication skills, eloquence and enthusiasm in each competition, which still make the audience proud. Huong Giang's Miss Universe 2025 journey has come to an end, but what she left behind will be the motivation for Vietnamese representatives to continue to be stronger in the following seasons.
