Hanoi (VNA) – When asked who will be selected to participate in Miss Grand International 2021, a representative from the unit charged with bringing Vietnamese beauty to the international competition later this year said an interesting surprise will come.

In the meantime, the unit has revealed the list of the five nominees for the contest, namely Miss Vietnam 2016 Do My Linh, Miss Vietnam 2018 Tran Tieu Vy, Miss World Vietnam 2019 Luong Thuy Linh, along with Compassionate Beauties Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien and Huynh Nguyen Mai Phuong.

Ever since earning the crown, Linh has been the competitor who has always maintained her position in the hearts of fans.

Winning the Compassionate Beauty title at Miss World 2017, she now impresses the audience with her alluring beauty and charitable activities. It seems that she has never lost her charm.

Meanwhile, Miss Vietnam 2018 Tran Tieu Vy has become more and more spectacular with her enviable figure, astonishing complexion and glamorous style. Tieu Vy has been named the most beautiful among all of the former Miss Vietnam contestants. It could be said that Tieu Vy possesses all of the criteria that the organisers of Miss Grand International are setting.

A native of the central province of Quang Nam, Tieu Vy overcame 42 other finalists to take the crown in the finale held in Ho Chi Minh City in September.

Thuy Linh is also the Vietnamese representative with the highest-ever finishing position in the Miss World competition, reaching the Top 12 in 2019.

In May this year, the organisers of Miss World released a teaser video for this year’s contest showing the meaningful journeys of the many beautiful contestants from around the world over the years. In the clip, the organisers introduce the viewer to the most memorable moments of the competition from the past 69 years. It is worth mentioning that in the 4-minute clip, Vietnamese fans can easily recognise two famous Vietnamese faces, Miss Vietnam 2016 Do My Linh and Miss World Vietnam 2019 Luong Thuy Linh. As the clip is a recap of all the successful moments in the competition recorded at arenas around the globe, the presence of two Vietnamese representatives shows us that the world truly recognises the beauty of Vietnamese women.
