Bao Ngoc has many advantages before the final
Compared to the time she was ranked number one by Sash Factor in mid-August, Bao Ngoc currently has more achievements to consolidate her position as a prominent candidate.
The biggest highlight is the winning of Top Model Asia and Oceania region on August 27. This achievement helped Bao Ngoc win a direct ticket to the Top 40 overall. She is one of the four regional winners, alongside representatives of the Dominican Republic, Nigeria and France.
In the final night, these four beauties continue to compete for the Top Model title overall. The winner will be specially admitted directly to the Top 20 Miss World 2026. Therefore, Bao Ngoc still has the opportunity to own another important advantage before the direct elimination rounds.
In addition to Top Model, the Vietnamese representative has quite uniform achievements in her journey at Miss World. She entered Top 24 Beauty With a Purpose with a project aimed at the role of young people in sustainable development and climate change response.

Before the final, Bao Ngoc was also ranked by international and domestic media as a noteworthy candidate. Besides the home field advantage, the Vietnamese beauty has international competition experience when she was crowned Miss Intercontinental 2022, good English and presentation skills.
However, the journey to the crown is still unpredictable as Bao Ngoc has to compete with many strong contestants. The final result depends on the evaluation of the judges through important rounds in the final night.
