The life of the Vietnamese beauty queen who reached the top of Miss Universe

Thùy Trang |

Every Miss Universe season, this beauty queen is mentioned for her inspirational story and impressive achievements.

Miss Universe 2024 ended with a media effect spreading across digital platforms.

Not only Ky Duyen received much attention, her predecessors were also mentioned by the audience, reviewing their journey in this fierce beauty arena.

Miss H'hen Nie is the Vietnamese representative with the highest achievement at Miss Universe. 6 years ago, she was in the top 5 of Miss Universe 2018 held in Thailand.

H'hen Nie once caused a stir when she wore a yellow dress in the evening gown competition, turning around to make the audience cheer in excitement. She was considered to have a beautiful body, slim waist, and short, unique hair that stood out among the beauties.

In the final night of Miss Universe 2018, H'hen Nie made history when she was in the top 15, top 10 and then named in the top 5, participating in the behavioral round.

The image of Vietnam's representative standing in the top 5, on par with "beauty powerhouses" such as Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Philippines... was hotly discussed by the international media.

Telling the story of overcoming difficulties full of determination of an ethnic girl from a village with many difficulties in life, H'hen Nie is highly appreciated for conveying messages about education and compassion.

The 90s beauty's achievements break the audience's prejudice about a beauty queen who is an ethnic minority.

At the end of 2017, after H'hen Nie won the title of Miss Universe Vietnam, the audience argued and thought that the result was not convincing, because the two runners-up, Hoang Thuy - Mau Thuy, had good reputation and skills.

After 6 years since creating a miracle for Vietnamese beauty, H'hen Nie's life has changed a lot.

The beauty queen still maintains a simple lifestyle, regularly does charity work, and spends money to improve her parents' lives.

She once spent 600 million VND to help her family repair the stilt house, build a house for her parents, and buy a large piece of land in the countryside as a gift for her family.

Thanks to the title of Miss Universe Vietnam, H'hen Nie is in high demand, appearing in events and programs in different roles from guest, model to coach.

The beauty is also chosen by many brands as a model and representative face. She is active in both entertainment and community volunteer activities.

In 2021, H'Hen Nie tried her hand at acting in the movie "578: Madman's Bullet" but the box office performance was not as expected.

Recently, H'hen Nie revealed that she bought her own house in Ho Chi Minh City. In her free time, she still returns to her hometown to help her parents with farming, cooking, and growing vegetables.

Regarding their personal life, H'Hen Nie and photographer Tuan Khoi started dating before she was crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2017. Both are secretive and rarely share about their relationship.

After many times of breaking up and getting back together, the couple still got back together, working and living together. Tuan Khoi often shares emotional moments with H'Hen Nie on his personal page.
