Nhat Ha, who had previously won the Tiffany Vietnam 2018, was widely praised for having a sophisticated fashion sense.

Nhat Ha participated in various activities during the first day of the transgender beauty pageant which began in Thailand on February 25.

During the event, she preferred to wear feminine make-up.

Nhat Ha wore a dress by designer Pham Dang Anh Thu which drew inspiration from a Thai women’s outfit.

Nhat Ha is 23 years old and stands at 1.75 meters tall. She is competing against 19 other contestants for the Miss International Queen 2019 title.

Huong Giang, Miss International Queen 2018, was able to share her vast experience with Nhat Ha in preparation for this year’s world transgender pageant.

Ha says she will take part in a short Q&A session with the organising board.

The Vietnamese entrant showed confidence throughout the first day of the competition.

Twenty contestants will participate in a variety of different activities across 12 days. The grand finale of Miss International Queen 2019 will be held in Pattaya, Thailand, on March 8.
