Phuong Linh wins Miss Cosmo VN in controversy, 1st runner-up suspected of being oppressed, Que Anh is called out

On the evening of June 21, the final night of Miss Universe Vietnam - Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025 ended in Nha Trang with the highest achievement belonging to beauty Phuong Linh. However, the result caused a lot of controversy.

Specifically, in the behavioral round, Phuong Linh was asked about the issue of international integration and answered: "For me, we are entering an era of equality and empowerment, beauty contests have a very special meaning. This is also what Miss Universe Vietnam is aiming for - to honor and affirm the leadership role of women. Today, women are not only companions but can completely become leaders in the development of the country.

To do that, we need to constantly learn - from engineering, foreign languages, economics to digital technology. I really like a quote from Barack Obama: "When a woman is educated, a generation changes."

In the final result, Miss Universe Vietnam 2025 named the beauty Nguyen Hoang Phuong Linh (SBD 383), the runner-up position belonged to contestant Do Cam Ly (SBD 376). With this result, Phuong Linh will be the representative of Vietnam to participate in the beauty pageant Miss Cosmo 2025.

This result did not cause much surprise to the media and fans as Phuong Linh and Cam Ly were always among the top strong candidates, predicted by many beauty sites to compete for the highest position. In addition, the final top 5 were also determined, including: Truong Qui Minh Nhan, Nguyen Thi Thuy Vy and Hoang Kim Ngan.

In addition to her outstanding beauty and height of 1m75, the new Miss Phuong Linh is among the beauties with impressive education among the contestants of Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025. The beauty born in 1999 graduated from the University of Washington - one of the prestigious schools in the US with a GPA of 3.6/4.0. Previously, Phuong Linh also completed a college degree in business in Houston, with a GPA of 3.95/4.0.

Before winning the beauty title, Phuong Linh was an IT compliance specialist at a leading technology corporation in Vietnam. Before that, she was an IT auditor at one of the four largest auditing corporations in the world.

With her good foreign language skills, Phuong Linh was supported by beauty fans in the early days. For the first time participating in a major beauty contest, Phuong Linh entered the contest confidently and maintained a stable performance throughout the journey. In the rounds requiring speaking and English communication skills, the new Miss showed her strengths and attracted attention. In addition to the final award, Phuong Linh was in the top 5 Talented Beauty, top 12 Fashion Beauty and top 5 Courageous Beauty.

Runner-up Do Cam Ly is not inferior to the new Miss Phuong Linh in terms of beauty or education. The beauty from Phu Tho is 1m73 tall and is currently a 4th year student majoring in International Relations at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City.

From the beginning, Runner-up Cam Ly did not make much of an impression in the Top 43, however, her appeal increased after receiving the title of "Contestant with the Most Beautiful Smile", announced in the semi-finals. She was also named in the top 5 Talented and Courageous Beauties, and the top 12 Fashionable People. Her youthful appearance and progress through each round made the audience put more faith in the final.

With the victory over Cam Ly in the final speech contest for the top 2, the result for the new Miss Phuong Linh is considered worthy. However, the biggest regret of the audience for the Final night is the absence of Truong Qui Minh Nhan in the top 2. Because from the beginning, this girl was expected by many beauty sites to win Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025 because she has a lot of experience, stage presence, intelligence, good speaking skills and the ability to "swallow the mic" in English.

Notably, some comments said that if Minh Nhan made it into the Top 2, it would create "worth-watching" speeches in the final round. Therefore, many people were very upset when Minh Nhan was not named in the Top 2 and only won a consolation prize.

On some forums, there are opinions comparing this year's results to Miss Grand Vietnam 2024, comparing Phuong Linh's coronation to Que Anh's, pointing out that Phuong Linh was "favored" more than other contestants.
