Before the semi-final night of Miss Universe 2025, Huong Giang revealed that the national costume that she will perform on stage is Ao Dai.
On her personal page, the beauty shared: "During her time in school, she always wanted to wear a white ao dai to school.
And today, she will fulfill her dream of that day in front of billions of people around the world with the message: "A dream may not come true right when you crave it most, but believe it can come late but it will definitely come in the most beautiful way!"", Huong Giang confided the reason for choosing to wear Ao Dai.
Huong Giang added that she will recreate the image of a female student stealing a book to go to school, taking a bicycle to walk on the stage for the 74th Miss Universe.
When mentioning the National Costume competition at Miss Universe, the audience often looks forward to gorgeous, magnificent costumes, elaborate designs to perform and leave a visual impression. However, Huong Giang chose her own path, different and risky.
Huong Giang hopes to bring a symbol that has lived for centuries in the hearts of Vietnamese people - a beauty that is not noisy, not ostentatious, but has a strong influence. Because its weight is not only woven from national culture, but also carries on it her own dream.
Huong Giang's choice was a smart but also risky bet. She accepted to miss the opportunity to win the National Costume award in exchange for a bigger opportunity: Creating the most memorable moment and story about her personal journey to incorporate Vietnamese cultural elements at Miss Universe.
If successful, Huong Giang will be praised for her sophistication and intelligence in using her personal and cultural story to shine.
If she fails, Huong Giang will be criticized for lacking investment or lack of performance for an important competition.
On beauty forums, many people highly appreciated Huong Giang's choice and thought that the strategy focused on the depth of the message instead of the width of the performance, in line with the current orientation of finding influential beauties of Miss Universe.
The semi-final night of Miss Universe 2025 will take place at 19:00 on November 19 in Thailand.
