Miss Grand All Stars: Will Do Nhat Ha register to replace Huong Giang?

Information regarding Vietnam's representative at the Miss Grand International All Stars 2026 competition is attracting attention with new developments surrounding the names Huong Giang and transgender beauty Do Nhat Ha.

Earlier, in early 2026, the Miss Grand International organization announced that Huong Giang would represent Vietnam at the first All Stars competition. This information quickly attracted significant attention from the beauty pageant community because Huong Giang is a highly experienced international contestant, having won Miss International Transgender 2018 and recently participating in Miss Universe 2025.

However, the situation has changed significantly recently, sparking curiosity among fans. According to recent reports, Huong Giang has yet to officially confirm whether she will continue to compete in Miss Grand International All Stars. This silence has fueled much speculation among beauty pageant fans.

Meanwhile, Do Nhat Ha unexpectedly confirmed that she is applying to participate in the Miss Grand International All Stars competition. The fact that another Vietnamese representative is proactively participating has led to speculation about the possibility of "replacing" Huong Giang. Some opinions suggest that Do Nhat Ha's application at this particular time is not coincidental, but may be related to a change in Vietnam's official representative at the international beauty pageant.

Do Nhat Ha is no stranger to international beauty pageants. The beauty queen was a Top 6 finalist at Miss International Queen 2019 and has accumulated considerable experience in performing and competing. She shared that her decision to apply came after careful consideration and thorough preparation in terms of skills and mindset.

Notably, Miss Grand International All Stars 2026 is considered a special season with a packed competition schedule. Contestants will go through many consecutive rounds such as cultural promotion, talent competition, runway show, portrait photoshoot, bikini and evening gown presentation, and a no-makeup show before the grand finale on May 30th.

Due to the intense nature and high demands of the competition, selecting a representative for Vietnam becomes even more crucial. If Huong Giang continues to participate, she is still considered a potential candidate thanks to her extensive experience and high recognition. Conversely, if there is a change, Do Nhat Ha is also considered a suitable candidate, having competed internationally before and possessing thorough preparation.

Currently, all information remains speculative as Huong Giang's side has not yet given an official response, and Do Nhat Ha has only confirmed submitting the application but is not yet the official representative. This has made the story of who will represent Vietnam at Miss Grand International All Stars 2026 a hot topic of discussion on beauty pageant forums.

Do Nhat Ha became widely known to the public after winning Miss Transgender Vietnam 2018 and representing Vietnam at Miss International Queen 2019. In 2022, Do Nhat Ha continued to attract attention when she participated in Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 and reached the Top 16. She said that since school she preferred playing with female friends and didn't like participating in sports.

At the age of 20, Do Nhat Ha made the crucial decision to transition to live as her true self. When she came out, she faced opposition from her own family. Her mother even took her to the doctor because she thought she had a disease, leading to conflicts with her father.

Out of immense love for her daughter, Do Nhat Ha's mother decided to sell her cherished gold ring to accompany her to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery. She once shared a conversation with her father before leaving for the operation: "This isn't about getting cosmetic surgery or showing off to others. It's like a decision, a matter of life or death. I just hope that if I ever have the chance to return, Dad, you'll treat me like a normal girl, like my older sister."

The decision to undergo gender reassignment surgery was a major turning point in Do Nhat Ha's life. During her time in the hospital bed after the surgery, she had to endure intense pain. She admitted that her health deteriorated significantly after the gender reassignment surgery in Thailand. Do Nhat Ha experienced fatigue and rapid heartbeat.

She once shared: "When I transitioned, I had to undergo anesthesia and anesthesia many times and use quite a lot of antibiotics, which greatly affected my health. Before, when running up stairs or performing a song, I wouldn't feel tired, but now, my health has deteriorated, my heart often beats fast, and I'm frequently tired. I've also tried many ways to improve my health, such as practicing Muay Thai, and now I practice yoga and meditation to stabilize my breathing."

Miss Grand asked the first runner-up of Miss Universe to invite Huong Giang, and the beauty queen's reaction was shocking!
