Miss Universe announces new 150 billion crown, signals Ky Duyen to be crowned

Just before the semi-final round, the Miss Universe 2024 organizing committee introduced a new crown design for the winning girl. This year's design is praised for looking fresher and more unique than the designs used for Miss Universe in previous years.

This year’s crown, called The Light of Infinity, is encrusted with pearls and diamonds. The work is the result of 377 steps over five years, created by Filipino master craftsmen, incorporating traditional techniques from Place Vendôme, France.

According to the manufacturer, this crown is worth up to 6 million dollars (about 150 billion VND). But what attracts the audience most to the Miss Universe 2024 crown is its novel shape.

The design consists of wavy lines surrounding the Sun, which is emitting sparkling rays of light, reminding people of a pair of swans facing the Sun.

Compared to the crown model used in the 2022 and 2023 competitions, the new design is praised as more magnificent and outstanding.

The crown that Miss Universe 2023 is wearing is also worth $6 million with white and blue as the main colors. However, many people think that its size is a bit small, not as impressive as the crowns for Misses in many other competitions, but looks more like the crowns of runners-up.

Because the crown was made by a company in the Philippines, netizens in this country believe that "The representative of the Philippines will wear a Philippine crown". Because in 2007, the Miss Universe crown was made by a Japanese company and then, Japanese beauty Riyo Mori was crowned.

Vietnamese audiences quickly recognized the connection between Miss Ky Duyen and the new crown. The reason is that this year's design has a white and gold tone with pearls as highlights. The design is also very airy, with lots of space, not as thick as the old design.

Coincidentally, Ky Duyen’s Miss Vietnam 2014 crown also has a similar color, is also studded with many gold-plated pearls like this and also has delicate curves. From that coincidence, the audience hopes that Ky Duyen will be called by the lucky star once again.

Returning to the contest, at the event, the organizers also announced some new information about the new beauty queen's schedule.

Miss Universe owner and transgender billionaire Anne Jakrajutatip announced the new Miss Universe 2024's travel schedule, starting in Miami, followed by New York, Bangkok (Thailand), Palawan (Philippines) and Jakarta (Indonesia). The new beauty queen will end the year in New York with Christmas and New Year activities. The beauty queen's schedule will last throughout the year and further activities will be announced later.

Ms. Anne shared that the new beauty queen needs to maintain good health and mentality to complete upcoming tasks, from business trips to important events of the year.

Accompanying Ky Duyen in Mexico, in addition to National Director Huong Ly, President of Miss Universe Vietnam Valentine Tran, there was also runner-up Vu Thuy Quynh and beauty Ha Kino. The two beauties promptly checked in at the hotel upon arrival.

On the morning of November 14, Miss Universe Vietnam announced Ky Duyen's national costume at the semi-final night of Miss Universe 2024. She will wear the Ngoc Diep Ky Nam national costume, designed by Dang Tran Tri, with the advice of Nguyen Minh Cong.
