Miss Vietnam 2026 Coronation and Nguyen Yen Trang's Reign

Ha Truc Linh, the Miss Vietnam 2024 titleholder, previously addressed her views on international competition and the conclusion of her reign. She emphasized that a Miss Vietnam should focus on promoting the country and serving the nation, viewing her title as a foundation for future endeavors in education, travel, and acting.

Her reign concluded during the Miss Vietnam 2026 grand finale held on November 7 at Danh Vong Square in Do Son, Hai Phong. The competition, organized by Tien Phong Newspaper and Hoang Thanh Media, focused on four core values: beauty, culture, intelligence, and contribution. The event marked the official handover of the crown from Ha Truc Linh to her successor.

Nguyen Yen Trang, a 20-year-old student from Hanoi studying primary education at Hanoi Metropolitan University, was crowned Miss Vietnam 2026. Standing 1.71m tall, she won the title after competing against 24 other contestants in categories including traditional Ao Dai, swimwear, and evening gowns. Yen Trang secured the victory during the final Q&A segment by discussing the importance of peace, citing the 2019 US-North Korea summit in Hanoi as an example of Vietnam’s role in fostering international stability. She concluded her response by stating, “I, Nguyen Yen Trang, am proud to be a Vietnamese person.”

Other major titles awarded included runner-up Tran Xuan Khanh Linh and second runner-up Le Phuong Nghi. Following her coronation, Yen Trang stated she has no immediate plans for plastic surgery, expressing a preference for honoring the pageant’s emphasis on natural beauty. She also noted her intention to continue her university studies while engaging in community charity work. Having previously participated in the 2025 pageant, Yen Trang noted she spent a year training to improve her confidence and public speaking skills before returning to the competition.
