Mai Ngo 'compares' with Huong Giang, revealing the reason for the Miss Charm contest, the beauty world is 'gasping'?

The fact that two artists with great seniority and influence were simultaneously announced as national representatives in two major international beauty arenas - Miss Universe 2025 and Miss Charm 2025 - has created an unprecedented "media explosion".

On September 24, Miss Huong Giang officially confirmed her participation in Miss Universe 2025, marking a historical milestone. This action is not only a personal step but also a powerful declaration of equality and hope. Huong Giang emphasized the message: "Nothing is impossible and it is never too late for any woman in the world", especially when Miss Universe has expanded the criteria to accept married women, children and transgender people. She affirmed that this change is not aimed at finding contestants, but is a symbol of equality and pioneering that few beauty contests dare to do.

15 days later, on the evening of October 9, the Miss Charm 2025 Organizing Committee suddenly announced that runner-up Mai Ngo would represent Vietnam in the competition. This information quickly became the focus of discussion on social networks. In the introduction, Mai Ngo confidently declared: "I am a model, actor, dancer... But above all, I'm a woman who has learned that true beauty starts from the moment we dare to be ourselves."

This is a rare event in Vietnamese showbiz when two artists have been active for a long time, have a separate mark, and at the same time "bring the bell to beat the country". In the past, Vietnamese representatives were mainly newly crowned faces in the country.

The fact that Huong Giang and Mai Ngo represented the country made fans surprised and full of expectations. Both possess deeply inspiring stories and their journeys of growth that have been closely followed by the public over the years. However, with the opportunity comes enormous pressure.

For Huong Giang, becoming the first transgender contestant to represent Vietnam at Miss Universe is a double challenge. She not only has to prepare for beauty and performance skills, but also a "fire test" of bravery and inspiration. Huong Giang has to face prejudices and controversies from the past to prove the image of a strong, compassionate and confident woman.

Meanwhile, Mai Ngo's journey is different. She does not come from the traditional miss world but is a versatile artist, with a personality and liberal style. It was not until she won the title of 4th runner-up of Miss Grand Vietnam 2022 that her ability to "fight" at beauty contests was recognized. The fact that Mai Ngo brings the spirit of an artist to Miss Charm is both an advantage to show uniqueness and a challenge to reconcile the free demeanor of an artist and certain stereotypes of an international beauty contest.

Currently, both representatives receive great support from the hometown audience. The fact that Huong Giang and Mai Ngo conquered two international beauty arenas at the same time is not only a memorable milestone for Vietnamese beauty queens, but also opens a new chapter on the spirit of Vietnamese women: diversity, bravery and always ready to shine in every playground.
