The first of the three outfits is named Con Co, known as crane in English, and has been created by designer Nguyen Duc Liem.

Despite the outfit’s charms, the tail of the design, which features storks in fields of rice, makes it difficult for the Vietnamese beauty to confidently walk whilst on stage.

The second choice is known as “Vung Dat Chin Rong” and is by designer Hoang Huu Kha.

Dragons feature heavily throughout the design.

Feedback from Hoang Thuy suggests that the outfit, which weighs approximately 30kg, is too heavy for her to wear whilst performing.

The final outfit is titled Ca Phe Phin Sua Da and has been created by designer Nguyen Minh Duc.

The design pays tribute to one of the most popular beverages of the Vietnamese people.

Alongside a number of judges, Hoang Thuy will have to select the most suitable national costume which she will wear during her participation in Miss Universe 2019.
