Vietnamese designers showcase gowns at Miss Grand International 2026

Vietnamese designers Nguyen Minh Tuan and Thuong Gia Ky showcased their work on the global stage at the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant. The designers provided elaborate evening gowns for various international contestants, focusing on a balance of artistic expression, individual style, and stage practicality.

Nguyen Minh Tuan designed gowns for representatives from Brazil, China, Georgia, Peru, and the Netherlands. His design for Miss Grand Netherlands, Beau Megan Goos, featured dramatic feathered wings inspired by Victoria’s Secret Angels, a construction that required careful weight management and intricate embellishment. Goos ultimately finished as the second runner-up in the competition.

Thuong Gia Ky also worked with multiple international contestants, tailoring designs to suit their specific personalities and stage presence. Tuan noted that his creative process involves studying the contestants' preferences and aesthetic goals to develop concepts that use stylized floral patterns and geometric details to accentuate the wearer’s figure.
