As the last performer, the Vietnamese representative walked confidently on a pair of boots nearly 20cm high. She smiled energetically during the performance with the movement of angel wings.

Thuy Tien’s outfit consisted of a traditional ao dai (Vietnamese traditional gown), boxing gloves, a mask, a turban and a pair of wings with the symbol of the medical sector on the back. The design was made to honor the doctors who have been silent heroes during the Covid-19 pandemic.

At the end of the performance, the wings unexpectedly fell and were immediately pulled up by Thuy Tien. Right after the competition, Thuy Tien wrote on her Facebook page: "Thank you so much! There was a little incident with the wings, but I hope everyone will ignore it and support me in the upcoming rounds."

Earlier, the Vietnamese contestants took the lead in a poll for the Best in Swimsuit category, alongside representatives from Guatemala, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Cambodia. She was then voted the Best in Swimsuit. Her thank-you video to the audience in Vietnamese, English and Thai was posted on the official fanpage of Miss Grand International. Thuy Tien’s special photoshoot in the swimsuit will be posted on the fanpage. 

After the national costume contest, the semi-finals and the final will take place on December 2 and December 4. 

Thuy Tien, 23, has measurements of 83-62-92 and was among the Top 5 contestants in Miss Vietnam 2018. In 2020, Vietnamese beauty Ngoc Thao secured a Top 20 position in the contest.
