Linh’s outfit takes inspiration from the traditional costumes of the Mong ethnic minority group.
Vietnam’s Mong ethnic group has a population of 1 million, they play an important role in the country’s ethnic group community.
Linh said apart from Ao dai, Vietnam also has other colourful outfits to be introduced to the world, and costumes of the Mong ethnic group are among them.
 
The Mong ethnic costume is designed by Ngo Manh Dong Dong. Brocade is a key material, and hand embroidered designs by Mong ethnic people are brought from Ha Giang Province.
The Mong ethnic costume is designed to allow Linh to show off her wonderful figure for the pageant.
The shirt is inspired by the wedding costumes of Mong ethnic people.
The outfit is complimented with a hand embroidered hat and shoes.
The entire outfit, including silver necklace and earrings, weighs more than 30kg.
The costume was made over 2 months by 26 artisans.
Dieu Linh will model the costume for a photoshoot as the first activity of the Miss Tourism Queen International 2018 pageant on May 9.
She will then take part in the national costume, swimsuit, and evening gown competitions, and attend a launch party with the media.
