In 2002, after a long period of absence from the world’s biggest beauty contest, Miss World, Vietnam marked its return at the 15th position for Mai Phuong, an 18-year-old girl who had just been crowned Miss Vietnam 2002.
Two years later, Miss Vietnam 2004 Nguyen Thi Huyen ranked 10th at the Miss World held the same year.
In 2009, Miss Vietnam Mai Phuong Thuy ranked 17th and in 2009, Huong Giang, a top-ten contestant at Miss Vietnam 2006 pageant was named at the 16th post.
In 2010-2013, Vietnam’s representatives did not win any title or rank highly at this pageant. This poor result is explained that Vietnam sent only the runners-up of the national pageant Miss Vietnam or the winners of small beauty contests to Miss World.
When Nguyen Thi Loan was selected as Vietnam’s representative at Miss World 2014, the public was suspicious about her performance.
Unlike other representatives, Loan had quietly prepared for the event for a long time, before she was selected as the official representative. Loan quietly expressed herself in England, although she did not receive much attention from the public and entered the top 25. After four years, Vietnam again placed highly in the planet’s largest beauty contest.
Vietnam may hold Miss World Vietnam next year to choose the representative for the Miss World 2015.

Before Loan went to England to compete with 121 contestants, the rumor that Loan was selected for the event stirred up controversies. However, she still quietly prepared for the contest until the final decision was announced.

Four years after entering the Top 5 of Miss Vietnam 2010, Loan actively participated in volunteer activities. She also ranked second at Miss Ethnic Vietnam 2013.
