Miss Universe: Huong Giang dropped out of Top 30, Thai Phi dropped in rank, Latin crowned?

International beauty site Sash Factor has released its latest predictions after the swimsuit performances of Miss Universe contestants. Notably, Huong Giang unexpectedly dropped out of the Top 30, Thailand and the Philippines both dropped in rank, and Venezuela was predicted to be crowned.

Huong Giang "out of Top 30", Vietnamese beauty fans regret

The prediction table for the Top 30 Miss Universe 2025 updated by international experts has caused a stir in the beauty fan community. The most regrettable thing is that the beauty from Vietnam, Miss Huong Giang, unexpectedly did not appear on this list.

This is considered a significant setback, because previously, Huong Giang was ranked 18th by Sash Factor in the previous prediction table. The continuous drop in rankings, even being rated "out of the Top 30", makes the Vietnamese beauty fan community worried, especially when the contest is entering a fierce competition phase.

According to the new rankings, the leading position now belongs to the beauty from Venezuela. The following positions are also faces from the Latin American and African regions such as India, Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Colombia - contestants who are highly appreciated for their stable performance. Although the prediction tables are for reference only, they partly reflect the perspective of international experts on the performance and attention for each representative.

Asia faces a "wall" of bias: Thailand and Africa are both considered out of the Top 5.

Not only Huong Giang, strong representatives of Asia are also facing big obstacles in terms of prediction. At the same time, other strong representatives of Asia such as Thailand and Philippines are also expected to "disappear" from the Top 5, raising further doubts about the fairness of this year's Miss Universe.

In fact, since its launch, the Miss Universe 2025 season has been continuously entangled in many scandals about bias and serious discrimination between contestants of different continents. The climax was the incident where nearly 20 Latin countries were said to not cooperate with Nawat, causing a long-lasting war related to brand sponsorship payments.

Not stopping there, the Miss Universe homepage was criticized for the delay in updating images of Asian contestants in general and Huong Giang in particular. Meanwhile, images of Latin representatives were updated continuously and especially the first appearance of the Latina Sash representing the Latin American region.

Fairness is in big question: Will Latin be crowned?

Numerous evidences of Latino bias uncovered by the online community have raised public concerns about the fairness of the competition. The fact that the Latino representatives are consistently ranked at the top, while Asian representatives, despite being well-prepared, are consistently falling in the rankings or being underrated, has further fueled concerns about "bias".

As the competition enters its final stages, the appearance of prediction boards is a warning about the fierce competition and the non-professional factors that influence the results. Vietnamese audiences still expect Huong Giang to maintain her form, make every effort to overcome prejudices and disadvantages, and bring home the best results, despite the current unfavorable predictions.

Huong Giang was supported by Vietnamese fans in Thailand, MU made an action, Nawat was very excited! Moon10:51:13 18/11/2025The enthusiastic support of Vietnamese fans for Huong Giang at Miss Universe 2025 is causing a stir in Thailand. In response to this enthusiasm, Miss Universe reposted it on her personal page. Along with that is the obvious favor that Mr. Nawat has given to the Vietnamese representative.
