Mai Ngo gives up the title of MG runner-up to compete in Miss Universe VN, succeeding Bui Quynh Hoa?

After winning the runner-up position at Miss Grand Vietnam, Ngo Thi Quynh Mai said this would be the last beauty playground she participated in. However, when Miss Universe raised the competition age, the beauty wanted to "break the rules".

Accordingly, on the evening of April 26, runner-up Mai Ngo's styling team attracted attention when simultaneously posting photos with the caption "Mai Ngo road to Miss Universe Vietnam 2024".

Comparing the image of the incumbent with the present, it can be seen that the Saigon beauty has had a significant change in her appearance to match the colors of the Universe arena. Before this move, many beauty fans excitedly left comments and looked forward to her return.

It is known that this is the third time in a long series of 9 years of conquering the Universal dream. At the Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 stage, the name Ngo Thi Quynh Mai was announced in the final TOP 45. In 2017, she entered the TOP 70, but withdrew before the semi-finals due to personal reasons.

A few days ago, the Miss Universe Vietnam organization announced the official increase of the contestants' application age limit to 33 years old, an increase of 4 years compared to the previous season. Meaning, Miss Universe Vietnam becomes the first prestigious beauty contest in Vietnam that allows girls over 30 years old to compete for the crown.

"The Miss Universe Organizing Committee would like to announce that it will remove all age restrictions for the Miss Universe contest and other related contests. This change will apply starting in 2024 globally. From now on, women of all ages can compete for the Miss Universe crown," the announcement said.

Currently, besides Miss Universe, most major beauty contests in the world limit the age of participants to under 30 years old. In 2022, the Miss Supranational contest decided to increase the age of participants to 32 years old. However, Miss Supranational does not accept transgender or married women with children to compete.

Therefore, with the new announcement of the domestic contest, many beauty fans still find it difficult to accept and think that this age limit will make the difference in beauty between contestants too large. Even right below the post, many comments called names of famous showbiz beauties and "reached" 33 such as: Minh Tu, Thuy Van, Le Thao Nhi, Cao Thien Trang, Huong Ly,... to register. compete in this year's contest.

She represented Vietnam at Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador but did not win. This is also considered a "scandalous" queen since her coronation: smoking balloons, being expelled from school,...

Not only causing controversy in choosing a beauty queen, Miss Universe was also criticized for being unprofessional in its organization. Although the new season of Miss Universe Vietnam has restarted, the awards for the top 6 of the 2023 season are still quiet.

Accordingly, more than half a year has passed, only Bui Quynh Hoa was sent to compete in Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador. The remaining beauty contest opportunities are Huong Ly, Hong Dang, Lydie Vu, Emma Le, Anh Thu and are currently "uncredited".

Besides, Miss Universe Vietnam is currently restarting the 2024 season. This means that the competition will soon have another top 6 team. This detail makes the audience more concerned about the chances of competing internationally for the top 6 - Miss Universe Vietnam 2023.
