Following these activities, the Miss Vietnam 2026 competition moved into its national semi-finals at the Dragon Hill International Tourism Area in Hai Phong. On October 10, the competition concluded this stage, selecting 25 contestants from the original 53 to advance to the grand finale scheduled for early November. The semi-final performances featured segments in swimwear, evening gowns, and traditional Ao Dai. The Ao Dai showcase included the ‘Heritage Across the Land’ collection by designer Dang Thi Ngoc Han, which utilized red flamboyant flower motifs inspired by Hai Phong. The selection of the Top 25 was determined by evening performances, the contestants’ two-month journey of cultural and community engagement, and one slot designated for the highest official public vote. Vũ Hồng Hạnh was identified as the contestant who secured her spot through the highest number of official public votes.
