The Miss Charm Vietnam 2026 final took place on the evening of October 22, featuring 22 contestants competing for the national crown.

The judging panel included Nguyen Thi Thuy Nga, President of the Miss Charm Organization and head of the jury; Miss Charm 2024 Rashmita Rasindran; Miss Charm 2025 Anna Blanco; and Bui Quynh Hoa, Miss Universe Vietnam 2023.

The competition narrowed the field from 22 contestants to the Top 16, Top 10+1 and finally the Top 5.

The five finalists were Ha Le Quynh Nga, Le Tran Anh Thu, Nguyen Thi Minh Ngoc, Nguyen Khanh Linh and Nguyen Ngoc Tra My.

Among them, Tra My was the only contestant to deliver her final question-and-answer response in two languages.

Asked what she would do to promote Bac Ninh's Quan Ho folk singing to international audiences if appointed a tourism ambassador, Tra My opened her response by singing a few lines from the traditional Vietnamese song Beo dat may troi (Floating Duckweed, Drifting Clouds).

She explained that music is an effective way to introduce a country's culture and language to international audiences.

The contestant expressed her desire to share Vietnamese songs with people around the world, particularly the gentle melodies and emotional richness of Bac Ninh's Quan Ho folk singing.

"I believe that beyond music, Vietnam is an attractive destination for international tourists because of the hospitality and warmth of its people," she said.

Her performance helped secure the Miss Charm Vietnam 2026 title, making her Vietnam's representative at the international beauty pageant.

Born in 1996, Nguyen Ngoc Tra My stands 1.77 meters tall and has a strong academic and professional background.

At 18, she moved to Australia to study communications at RMIT University.

After graduating, she worked in brand management, strategic partnerships and premium services for multinational corporations.

She currently runs a media company while pursuing postgraduate studies in Business Administration and Leadership at Edgewood University in the United States.

Before entering Miss Charm Vietnam, Tra My competed in The TVFace 2025.

She also works as a bilingual master of ceremonies at corporate conferences and diplomatic events.

With her educational background, professional experience and striking appearance, she was considered one of the competition's strongest contenders from the early rounds.

Following her coronation, Tra My made her first walk as Miss Charm Vietnam 2026 to enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Ha Le Quynh Nga was named first runner-up, while Nguyen Thi Minh Ngoc finished as second runner-up.
