Although Miss Universe 2025 has ended, Huong Giang's journey continues to be a hot topic on social networks and in the international beauty community.
Notably, the Missosology website, one of the world's largest beauty pageant analysis sites, publicly expressed its confusion when the Vietnamese representative was not named in the Top 12, despite her stable performance throughout the 21 days of competition.
According to Missosology, Huong Giang always appears with a confident demeanor, solid stage skills and a meticulous image.
What surprised them most was the amount of votes exceeding 200,000 USD (equivalent to more than 5 billion VND) from Vietnamese audiences. This is the highest number of the season, demonstrating the expectation and strong support for the Vietnamese representative. However, the final results did not reflect that level of support.
Missosology asked a frank question: What happened to the Vietnamese representative? She deserves to be in the Top 12. Is the spirit of "tolerance" that Miss Universe once emphasized still meaningful? Is this injustice or discrimination? With more than 200,000 USD in votes, she deserves more recognition.
Below Missosology's article, Huong Giang left a comment in English, expressing her gratitude for everyone's support throughout this journey. The beauty hopes to see each other again soon in the new project.
From another perspective, the El Tocuyo Award beauty page also expressed regret and gave many compliments to Huong Giang. This page commented that Huong Giang has made history by becoming the first transgender person to represent her country at Miss Universe.
The El Tocuyo Award page commented that Huong Giang has fully demonstrated her courage, appeal and outstanding beauty, enough to break many prejudices and elevate the image of a "queen". However, according to this page, despite making a strong impression, she was still ignored by Miss Universe. They said that this was not just a simple "ignorance", but also reflected the failure of a system that always declared to promote diversity but still maintained old prejudices.
On the evening of November 21, at the post-Final party of Miss Universe 2025, the organizing committee announced a number of subsidiary awards. Huong Giang is expected to win beyond The Crown, the category she once shared as "most wanted" for helping the social project spread widely.
The award is calculated from 50% of the paid votes and 50% of the judges' points. Before closing the voting gate, Huong Giang was in the top 3 with more than 230,000 votes, making fans believe she could win.
However, the results were shocking when the organizing committee named representatives from Paraguay, the Netherlands and the Philippines. Among them, the Dutch beauty only had 451 votes but still entered the top 3, while Huong Giang was "empty-handed".
Before this surprising result, Huong Giang shared: "Successing all crowns, I will prove my worth by action, not by title."
She also apologized to the fans: "I apologize, I cannot decide the result. I will continue to use action to develop the project, worthy of everyone's support."
