On September 14th, during the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 finale, Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen claimed victory, a decade after her Miss Vietnam 2014 win.
Her return sparked mixed reactions, but Ky Duyen has proven herself through relentless efforts, evolving from a once-criticized figure into a sharp and elegant beauty.
In the 2014 Miss Vietnam pageant, Ky Duyen faced controversy when she dropped from 70kg to 59kg for the competition. Just a month before the finals, she still weighed 60kg.
Through determination and hard work, she achieved her goal, emphasizing that her weight loss came from a strict diet and exercise, not from using weight loss drugs.
However, after her victory, social media was filled with opinions doubting her beauty, leading to heated debates. Critics suggested that the then 18-year-old from Nam Dinh lacked the radiance expected from a beauty queen, possibly due to makeup mishaps on the final night.
A decade later, Ky Duyen has built a successful career in the Vietnamese entertainment industry and ventured into business. Her beauty has evolved, and her physique now radiates balance and elegance.
She consistently maintains a healthy lifestyle, dedicating herself to workouts, yoga, and cycling to preserve her figure and spirit.
As Miss Universe Vietnam 2024, Ky Duyen regularly shares insights on her training regimen, nutritional balance, and mental health on social media, inspiring her followers.

In addition to her personal growth, Ky Duyen is actively involved in charity and community programs focused on promoting intellectual and physical development for students.
Reflecting on her community projects, Ky Duyen said: "People ask what my community project will be for Miss Universe Vietnam 2024. For me, it's about the daily discipline of training and self-care. These practices not only enhance physical beauty but also build internal values. I’m committed to this path and will continue developing myself, sharing positive energy with everyone."
From a young woman criticized for dramatic weight loss, Ky Duyen has transformed into a symbol of health, balance, and perseverance. Her story is a testament to how effort and determination can lead to personal growth, not just in the realm of beauty but in life as a whole.
