Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen was born in 1998 in Nam Dinh, 1.75 m tall with body measurements of 85-59-93 cm. In 2014, when she just turned 18 years old and was a first-year student at Foreign Trade University, she was crowned Miss Vietnam. At that year's contest, the beauty also won the Miss Sea sub-prize, becoming one of the youngest Misses in the history of this playground.
After being crowned, Ky Duyen faced many scandals during her term. Looking back at that time, she frankly admitted that those were major upheavals of her youth, but also a lesson that helped her mature, be braver and stronger.
At the end of her term in 2016, Ky Duyen was invited to represent Vietnam at Miss Earth, but she decided to refuse to focus on reorienting her career. From here, the beauty switched to the fashion field and gradually affirmed her position on the catwalk.
2017 is considered a milestone of sublimation when she continuously took on the role of vedette at many major shows across the country, and was affectionately called "queen vedette" by experts.
Also in this year, Ky Duyen took on the role of mentor for the program "The Look Vietnam" alongside Minh Tu and Pham Huong. In 2021, she participated in the reality show Sao Nhap Ngu and scored points with a strong, disciplined but still approachable image, thereby attracting a large number of fans.
Ky Duyen crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2024. She became the representative of Vietnam at Miss Universe 2024 held in Mexico and entered the Top 30 overall.
In 2025, the beauty attracted attention when participating in the movie project "Bo tu bao thu". According to the producer, she played a supporting role in a three-way relationship with Tieu Vy and actor Quoc Anh. Director Chung Chi Cong commented that Ky Duyen had a fulfilling film debut, suitable for the character's personality.
In the film, she plays Karen - a wealthy female lawyer with a complex inner world. The character initially appears with a sharp, attractive image, but later reveals her own calculations.
Ky Duyen said that she used to study acting, but when she entered the studio, she realized that reality was far from theory. Thanks to the support of her co-stars and crew, the beauty gradually caught up, completing her first role meticulously.
