First of all, it is necessary to recognize the reality that Miss Grand All Stars is not a playground for "rookies", but is the return of faces with "international competition experience". Therefore, the number of Vietnamese beauties who meet this criterion is not large, but there are names capable of making the audience expect.
The most prominent on the list is Nguyen Le Ngoc Thao, 2nd Runner-up of Miss Vietnam 2020, representing Vietnam at Miss Grand International 2020. Although not highly ranked, Ngoc Thao has a clear advantage in terms of international experience, foreign language ability and stable image after the competition. She is also one of the few Vietnamese beauties who still retain media appeal after many years, in line with the criteria of "returning to enhance image" that All Stars is aiming for. If we consider the safety and feasibility factors, Ngoc Thao is a name highly appreciated by experts.
Another face that has been mentioned by the international beauty community is Doan Thien An, Miss Grand Vietnam 2022, Top 20 Miss Grand International 2022. Thien An has an inspiring story, a rich demeanor and an image that is well-liked by international media. However, she herself shared that she was not interested in returning to beauty contests. This makes the possibility of Thien An participating in All Stars fragile, even though in terms of ability, she is completely competitive.
On the other hand, Le Hoang Phuong - Miss Grand Vietnam 2023, 4th Runner-up Miss Grand International 2023 is a case of "enough capacity but not at the right time". Impressive international achievements, outstanding performance skills and strong media influence help Hoang Phuong be considered one of the most successful representatives of Vietnam at Miss Grand.
However, having just competed internationally for a while makes the possibility of her returning to All Stars in 2026 unlikely. Le Hoang Phuong has the strength of performance and hot body, but she is not strong in behavior and foreign languages. However, with the achievement of 4th runner-up at Miss Grand International 2023, she is still considered a potential candidate.
In addition to representatives who have competed in Miss Grand International, some names such as Bui Khanh Linh (Miss Grand Vietnam 2023 Runner-up) or beauties who have achieved high results in other arenas are also mentioned by fans. However, if Miss Grand All Stars keep the criteria of prioritizing contestants who have competed internationally, especially Miss Grand International, this group will only stop at the level of expectations from fans, not really a strategic choice.
From an analytical perspective, Vietnam currently has three decisive factors when choosing an All Stars representative: international experience, readiness to return to competition and the ability to create new media stories. Not every beauty who has ever been successful wants to return, and not every returner is suitable for the image of All Stars.
If Miss Grand International All Stars truly follows the "re-export to upgrade" orientation, Nguyen Le Ngoc Thao and Le Hoang Phuong are still the most balanced options between capacity, timing and feasibility. However, in the beauty world, every scenario can happen and maybe this year, the copyright holder can choose beauties who have never competed in this playground such as international competitions such as Runner-up Ngoc Hang, Luong Thuy Linh... to participate.
