H’Hen Nie has been named among the Top 5 finalists of the Timeless Beauty award by Missosology and becomes the only Vietnamese representative to make it through into the award’s final stage.

Two Vietnamese beauties, Phuong Khanh Minh Tu and Tieu Vy, had previously been named among the original list. However, they were later disqualified.

Rounding off the Top 5 list are Ma Ahtisa, Miss International Philippines Manalo, Telma Madeira, Miss Earth Portugal, Tamaryn Green, Miss Universe South Africa, and Mariem Velazco, Miss International Venezuela.

This year, a panel of judges came together to select candidates from the 112 beauties who competed across the five major beauty contests including Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth, Miss International, and Miss Supranational in 2018.

The beauties were judged based on a range of criteria, including their beauty, timeless appeal, their overall performance in one of the ‘Big 5’ pageants, and finally their global impact. Their average score from across the criteria was then calculated. 

The Timeless Beauty award has been held annually since 2010. In the award’s history, the pageant has had a total of eight winners including Venus Raj of the Philippines in 2010, Olesia Stefanko of Ukraine in 2011, Irene Esser from Venezuela in 2012, Marine Lorphelin of France in 2013, Paulina Vega from Colombia in 2014, Edymar Martinez of Venezuela in 2015, Catriona Gray from the Philippines in 2016, and most recently, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa in 2017.
