Despite this achievement, Nguyen Minh Tuan expressed regret that the contestants couldn’t fully shine in his evening gowns due to the shortened stage presentation time.  

Nguyen Minh Tuan shared his perspective on the creative challenges in beauty pageants. He observed that many competitions have adopted signature color themes - such as pink for Miss International, gold and green for Miss Grand International, and blue for Miss Cosmo. While these themes create unique identities for the pageants, they inadvertently limit designers’ creative freedom.  

To counter this, Tuan encourages contestants to prioritize their personal style and confidently choose what best represents them when competing internationally.  

The designer recalled a notable moment when the representative from Kyrgyzstan surprised fans by wearing a gown he had originally designed for Que Anh at Miss Grand International during the semifinals of Miss Universe 2024.
