Now more than two decades later, Vietnamese beauty queen Thu Thuy is back in the news for her astonishingly youthful looks.

She chose to step out of the limelight soon after her reign as Miss Vietnam ended and most people had forgotten about her.

But when recent photographs of her surfaced online this week, people were amazed at how little she had aged since her last public appearance.

The photographs show her wearing an elegant free flowing lace red dress.
