Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Vietnam’s representative at Miss Global 2024 Nguyen Dinh Nhu Van surpassed 60 other contestants from around the world to win the beauty pageant finals held in Bangkok on the evening of March 9.

Standing at 1.74 metres tall, the 34-year-old beauty from the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong boasts an impressive figure with measurements of 90-63-91 cm. She is now working as a professional model showcasing designs for numerous renowned fashion houses.

Van was the runner-up of the Nguoi Mau Toan Nang (The New Mentor) competition in 2023 and took on the role of coach for the reality show Quy Ong Hoan My (The Perfect Gentleman) last year.

The newly-crowned Miss Global 2024 said she was truly happy to be the first Vietnamese beauty to win the title and thanked the support and encouragement from the audience, especially from her hometown.

Contestants from Jamaica and Puerto Rico were named first and second runners-up, while representatives from the US and the Philippines secured the third and fourth runner-up positions, respectively.

The Miss Global pageant emphasises women's empowerment and celebrates diverse cultures. The competition is open to beauties aged 18 to 35.

Vietnam has previously sent several representatives to the contest, including Doan Thu Thuy, who secured the country's prior highest achievement when she earned the title of fourth runner-up in Miss Global 2023./.
