Ky Duyen did so many tricks that her weakness was exposed, but was still "beautifully defeated" by MLee in the MUVN semi-finals.

For someone with as much experience as Ky Duyen, the fact that MLee surpassed her many times made beauty fans disappointed. In the recent semi-finals, she continued to be on par with her opponent.

On the evening of September 11, the semi-final night of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 contest took place in Ho Chi Minh City, attracting the attention of many beauty fans. During this competition night, 29 contestants competed in 3 rounds including calling out names, performing in swimsuits and evening gowns.

In the swimsuit competition, Ky Duyen showed off her slim 86-60-94 cm figure with a more confident and graceful demeanor than in the first episodes. However, the beauty from Nam Dinh still revealed a major flaw, which was her rather forced smile. The audience felt that she seemed uncomfortable laughing out loud.

Regarding MLee, the mixed-race beauty's body is highly appreciated with her "extremely sharp" 11-pack abs and measurements of 89 - 64 - 94 cm, and her performance style is also more leisurely and gentle than Ky Duyen's. Previously, she won the "best performer" category at the fashion show.

In the evening gown competition, the former Miss Vietnam chose a gorgeous blue dress with many elaborate details on the back. She made a breakthrough when choosing a tight bun hairstyle combined with nude makeup, instead of letting her hair down and choosing red lipstick like in previous episodes. The "French rose" still prioritized a softer style, with a thin silver evening gown combined with a white back skirt to create a graceful effect when performing.

At the end of the competition, MLee and Ky Duyen were named in the Top 5 contestants who performed best in swimsuit and evening gown. Both girls have similar heights of 1m76 and toned bodies. While the former Miss Vietnam possesses the beauty of an Asian woman, MLee has a sharp, attractive appearance thanks to her mixed French-Vietnamese blood.

In addition to the two names mentioned above, girls such as Vu Thuy Quynh, Trieu Tien, Quynh Anh, Paris Bao Nhi are also among the top contestants causing an explosion in the semi-final night of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024.

In just three days, Bui Quynh Hoa's successor will be officially revealed. This girl will wear the Vietnamese sash to compete at Miss Universe 2024 taking place in Mexico this November. Whether the crowned beauty will be one of the outstanding faces or another "dark horse" factor, we will have to wait until the final to know.

In another development, opening the swimsuit competition, Huong Giang collaborated with Phap Kieu for the first time to bring a brand new song, burning up the stage of the semi-final night of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024. To the melody of "Mot Buoc Len May", the beauty queen confidently showed off her hot and attractive choreography, making the audience unable to take their eyes off.

However, in the part where Phap Kieu lays on the stage, when Huong Giang uses her legs to flip over, the scene becomes offensive. The images of the two immediately spread across platforms with much controversy. Most of the audience thinks that this choreography is not really necessary and is awkward when placed in the context of a beauty pageant.

Besides, there are comments that Huong Giang is "taking on" too many things, being a producer, a judge for the contestants, and also a performing singer. This can easily make it impossible for her to closely control everything, thereby bringing trouble upon herself.

Previously, Huong Giang also received a lot of criticism for praising contestant Tra My too much, just because this girl was her student in a modeling contest a few months ago.

"My, you know, it took me 13 years to prove that I was a high fashion model, only to suddenly realize: You're so suitable for being a beauty queen!", "I can't imagine you looking so beautiful on stage, so beautiful", the beauty queen commented.

Although Huong Giang praised her endlessly, for the audience, Tra My's performance in episode 1 of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 was just average, not as excellent as the transgender beauty described.
