Miss Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy appeared in an outfit called "Silk of the Lotus" by young designer Bui Cong Thien Bao.
Previously, "Lua nang sen" won second prize at the National Cultural Costume competition of Miss Grand Vietnam 2024, belonging to designer Vu Lan Anh's team.
Thanh Thuy's appearance in "Lua nang sen" at Miss International 2024 received enthusiastic support from the audience right in the hall.
The main part of the costume is the ao dai made of silk, woven from delicate silk threads taken from lotus stems. The impressive highlight of the design is the simulation of a hand-woven loom attached to the back, carrying the image of traditional weaving.
The designer shared about the meaning of the outfit: “It is called Lotus Silk because each strand of raw material woven into the silk is a silk thread drawn from the lotus stem brought up from the pond.
Woven into fabric, the fine silk threads have the softness and smoothness of natural silk, and the noble scent of the lotus - a pure flower.
Not only is it the value of creativity, but it also inspires love for the nation and nature to the community and fashion lovers. Lotus silk products and precious lotus materials are also the beauty of Vietnamese culture, the quintessence of Vietnamese weaving and fashion."
The costume version that Thanh Thuy performed this time had some details simplified by the designer to reduce weight, but the costume still showed grandeur when performed.
According to the announced schedule, the semi-final round will take place on November 10. The Miss International final will take place on November 12.
