Thirty-five beauty queens, 18 from the north and 17 from the south, are vying for the title in an 18-day contest where they will have to participate in various rounds of challenging events. |
The northern region gals took the opportunity to show off their figures on August 11 as they arrive at Tan Son Nhat Airport in casual dress. |
They plan to take in some sightseeing in Ho Chi Minh City and neighbouring provinces over the next few days to promote the competition. |
They are all excited as they talk amongst themselves about the finals that will test their physical fitness, mental creativity, styling, interview skills, individual talent, model potential and social skills. |
Their attention shifts later in the day to focusing on selecting the best Ao Dai gowns and costumes for the extravaganza. |
The glamorous competition is a far cry from their usual everyday lives. |
The Miss Vietnam grand final will take place on August 28 at the Hoa Binh Theatre in Ho Chi Minh City. |
Tickets are still available. |
The final night will feature K Pop singer Bi Rain and singers Thu Minh, Toc Tien, Noo Phuoc Thinh and Dong Nhi. |
