Overview

The northern preliminary for Miss Vietnam 2026, held on 29 July in Hanoi, attracted a record‑setting pool of almost 200 young women, many of whom were university students. Contestants underwent biometric checks and interviews, and the event highlighted the pageant’s growing appeal to academically active youth. International exposure was noted as Vietnam’s Miss Supranational 2026 representative, Mai Ngô, placed in the Top 20 for influence and earned strong audience support in Poland.

Two days later, the competition’s finals featured a diverse group of finalists drawn from the same extensive applicant pool. Among them were former national rower Nguyễn Thị Hạnh, who showcased her athletic achievements, and Thẩm Khánh Ly, representing the tiny Ngai ethnic minority. Their participation underscored efforts to promote regional culture and minority visibility on a national stage, while other contestants, such as university students Tạ Thị Hoa and actress Nguyễn Thị Trịnh, illustrated the high level of competition.

Together, the snapshots trace the Miss Vietnam 2026 pageant from its record‑breaking preliminaries to a finals lineup that emphasizes both talent and cultural representation.
