In the finale in HCM City on Sunday night, Anh, 21, defeated three other finalists in challenges of runway modelling, and photo and video shoots.

Lê Thị Quỳnh Trang, CEO of Multimedia JSC and the show’s general director, commenting on Anh's final performance, said, “Tú Anh has many prominent features. She has an ideal height for a runway model, so the runway challenge is not a problem. She has all the requirements of a high-fashion model.”

During the show, the contestants were coached by chief mentors, including Vietnamese models Anh Thư and Vũ Thu Phương, and the duo of model Minh Triệu and Miss Việt Nam 2014 Kỳ Duyên. Tú Anh was a member of team Anh Thư.
