Recently, Miss Thanh Thuy - the reigning Miss Vietnam - attended Miss International 2024 and was crowned Miss. This is the first time that Vietnam has a representative crowned at this contest.
Immediately, information about Thanh Thuy's victory "exploded" on the media and social networking platforms.
After 5 days of coronation, on November 18, Miss Thanh Thuy returned to a warm welcome from the public.
During the welcoming ceremony for Thanh Thuy's return, the beauty wore an ao dai, a prestigious crown and sash, and appeared radiantly on a double-decker bus. The parade lasted more than 2 hours, passing through many streets in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, welcomed by many fans.
Immediately, information about Thanh Thuy's schedule as the new Miss International 2024 was also widely updated by the management company on the media.
This is understandable because Vietnamese beauties rarely win the Miss title in major international competitions.
Previously, in December 2021, Miss Thuy Tien also had a very grand "return home to honor her ancestors" after becoming Miss Grand International 2021.
Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien surpassed 69 beauties representing countries and territories around the world to bring home Vietnam's first Miss Grand International crown.
After just 1 night, all information about Thuy Tien became a hot topic searched by the online community. The time Thuy Tien returned to the country was about 1 month before her coronation and she still needed to be quarantined according to COVID-19 prevention regulations, but the beauty still had a very spectacular "return home".
Thuy Tien's management company not only arranged a double-decker car for her to parade to celebrate her victory, but also organized a fan meeting with the participation of about 1,000 fans.
Not only that, Thuy Tien's "huge" income after being crowned was also continuously revealed by Mr. Nawat - President of Miss Grand International. Accordingly, after only 3 months of being crowned, this beauty earned 100 million Baht (about 61 billion VND).
In 2022, Mr. Nawat said, Thuy Tien will earn at least 2-3 million USD (equivalent to 48-72 billion VND) from attending events and being an ambassador for many domestic and international brands and labels in her position as the reigning Miss Grand International 2021.
It can be seen that the Miss International crown not only brought Thanh Thuy and Thuy Tien honor and warm love from the public, but also gave them the opportunity to "change their lives".
However, in contrast to the two beauties mentioned above, the first Vietnamese girl to be crowned in an international "beauty contest" in the top 5 biggest competitions on the planet did not have such a huge impact.
In 2018, Nguyen Phuong Khanh represented Vietnam at the Miss Earth pageant. At that time, this was one of the top 4 most prestigious beauty pageants on the planet.
However, upon returning home, Phuong Khanh was quite quiet. She was welcomed by a number of media units and only had a small meeting with the press after returning home as the new Miss Earth 2018.
Not long after being crowned, Phuong Khanh was also accused of buying the award and being ungrateful to the person who helped her win. Regarding the incident, Phuong Khanh spoke up: "This is an international competition, only with your own efforts and luck can you achieve glory. A competition like this cannot have backing or buying the award. That is absolutely not the case."
When the noise died down, Phuong Khanh also limited her participation in entertainment events. She focused on business, organizing workshops and taking care of her family life.
Phuong Khanh does not share about her private life, until now the title of Miss Earth or Phuong Khanh's name rarely appear in the media.
