A beauty "wound up" to follow Ky Duyen's footsteps to conquer the international arena

Quynh Nga recently made a move that is considered to be a secret announcement that she will compete in the international arena. However, many people are still worried because her appearance and experience are still not enough to compete with other beauties from other countries.

Miss Universe Vietnam is stirring up beauty fans by continuously posting suggestive images about the upcoming Miss Universe Vietnam 2025 contest. Accordingly, the contest's homepage posted a blurry photo with a challenging caption "What are you competing for, beauty?", attracting the attention of netizens.

Immediately after the image was posted, netizens quickly started searching for the identity of the beauty appearing in this blurry photo. By comparing the details from the shadow, hairstyle and outfit, many beauty fans discovered a clear similarity with the image of runner-up Quynh Anh in the photo series that the beauty queen posted not long ago.

As soon as the information spread, the beauty community immediately exploded with discussion. Since 2023, Miss Universe has issued a rule that does not accept 1st runner-up to compete. Therefore, to be present at Miss Universe, Quynh Anh must accept to compete again from the beginning instead of being directly selected by the Organizing Committee. And if Quynh Anh registers again to compete in Miss Universe Vietnam 2025, this is quite a bold decision. To temporarily put aside the 1st runner-up title to return to the starting line is something that not every contestant can do.

At the time of competing in Miss Universe, Ky Duyen had a strong foundation of recognition and popularity. Because she was crowned Miss Vietnam in 2014 and had been working in the arts for about 10 years. This brought great advantages to Ky Duyen.

As for runner-up Quynh Anh, she is somewhat "less enthusiastic" compared to her seniors. She has not made many big impressions in the Vietnamese beauty market. When following in Ky Duyen's footsteps, runner-up Quynh Anh will have to endure a lot of pressure. It is difficult for her to avoid being compared to her seniors. Along with that, the audience demands that runner-up Quynh Anh continue to maintain the reputation and achievements that Ky Duyen has "drawn" for the Vietnamese sash at Miss Universe.

Runner-up Quynh Anh once participated in an Asian-scale modelling contest and won the final. She has certain experiences but not enough. Because the atmosphere and format of a beauty pageant are different from a modelling contest. So to judge overall, Runner-up Quynh Anh still lacks experience in the beauty field.

When competing in Miss Universe, beauty and performance skills play an important role but do not completely affect the final result. The judges also evaluate based on inner strength, thinking, English communication ability, community projects... These factors are not easy to achieve in a day or two. Runner-up Quynh Anh must actively cultivate and practice with high frequency over a long period of time.

Quynh Anh was born in 1999 in Hanoi. She became known to many people after participating in the program The Face Vietnam 2018. The beauty joined supermodel Vo Hoang Yen's team and through each episode she proved her ability as a model. With a height of 1m71 and a typical Asian face, Quynh Anh impressed the audience through the challenges. Finally, she finished as the runner-up of The Face Vietnam 2018.

This achievement is the stepping stone that helps Quynh Anh make her mark on the runway. The beauty born in 1999 has many shows, is the face that many designers trust to give important responsibilities in the show. Not only that, Quynh Anh also tries her hand at the role of mentor in fashion competitions. In September 2021, the female model unexpectedly signed up for the program Supermodel Me - Asian Supermodel. With impressive performance, Quynh Anh excellently won the highest position - she is also the first Vietnamese model to win this famous modeling competition. At Miss Universe Vietnam 2024, the beauty from Hanoi finished as 1st runner-up.

Should Vietnamese beauty queens and runner-ups "go headlong" into international competitions? Mặc Lan2 months agoMany Vietnamese beauties are not very successful domestically, they only start to get noticed when they achieve success in the international arena. This raises the question of whether beauty queens and runners-up can only be successful when they go abroad?
