Thailand - Philippines were once "smoked" by a Vietnamese beauty at Miss Universe

Thailand and the Philippines are famous as "beauty queen powers" in recent years. Representatives of these countries continuously enter the most fierce beauty competitions. However, in the past, a Vietnamese beauty surpassed both of them, causing a stir.

Over the past 10 years, Asian beauties, specifically Southeast Asian beauties, have begun to dominate beauty arenas. Beauties from the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam... are always enthusiastically cheered by the domestic audience when "conquering" internationally. At the same time, they also often lead or rank high in votes within the framework of Miss World, Miss Universe or Miss Grand International.

Over the past decade, the fashion world has repeatedly rejoiced at the rise of beauties in these "beauty queen countries". However, the achievements of beauties in Vietnam on Miss Universe up to now are still quite limited compared to the Philippines and Thailand.

However, few people know that Vietnam once let Thailand and the Philippines "smell the smoke" at Miss Universe 2008. Thuy Lam was the one who contributed to creating this miracle. The queen is also the first Vietnamese beauty "in top" at Miss Universe.

Possessing a small, pretty face and a bright smile, Thuy Lam always attracts people with her outstanding appearance and positive energy. However, Miss Universe is a contest that emphasizes seductive and hot beauty, so Thuy Lam's beauty or style at that time was considered not really fierce.

Competing with 80 contestants from countries and territories around the world, Thuy Lam was suddenly named in the top 15 finals. At that time, she was the only Southeast Asian beauty on this list. The Philippines and Thailand sadly suffered from being surpassed by Vietnam.

Thuy Lam's top 15 achievement at that time was considered a miracle, because going deep in the fiercest beauty arena on the planet is not an easy task.

More than a decade has passed but the attraction of "Vu Khuc Crane" has not diminished. The "dragon robe" outfit worn by Thuy Lam on the Miss Universe 2008 stage was considered one of the 10 most beautiful national costumes of that year.

In addition, Thuy Lam wore the most special evening dress during the "conquest" seasons of representing Vietnam at Miss Universe. The sparkling halterneck design combined with the gem-studded gloves turned the Queen into the queen of the party.

At that time, surrounding Thuy Lam's achievements were some rumors that Miss Universe organizers favored the host country. However, questions are just questions, without answers. Therefore, occasionally the name Thuy Lam is discussed.

After Thuy Lam's achievements, the Vietnamese sash strip fell into a long period of decline, continuously being out of the top for 7 consecutive years. It wasn't until 2018 that H'Hen Niê reached the top 5 finals, breaking the record of her seniors. Currently, Miss Ede is still the Vietnamese beauty holding the highest achievement at Miss Universe.

The Vietnamese sash strip is also in the top 4 consecutive years at Miss Universe with: H'Hen Niê - top 5 Miss Universe 2018; Hoang Thuy - top 20 Miss Universe 2019, Khanh Van - top 21 Miss Universe 2020 and Kim Duyen - top 16 Miss Universe 2021.

As for Thuy Lam, she is currently the most secretive queen in Vbiz. She has been away from showbiz for many years to focus on taking care of her small family. Many times, Thuy Lam made Vbiz stir with the beauty of a Queen with 2 children aged U40.

Even so, Miss Hau's smooth, flawless white skin is still as intact as when she was in her early twenties. Miss Thuy Lam has a gentle Asian face and smooth white skin that the public will always remember.
