Beauties Charm In Ao dai

The 80 contestants were placed in four groups and wore from collections themed “Vietnamese Ao Dai”, “The Season of Beauty”, “The Western and Asian Portrait”, and “Convergence of Quintessence”.

Each of the themes was created by hotshot designers Si Hoang, Lien Huong, Vo Viet Chung and Thuan Viet, and featured an impressive combination of modern designs and traditional flowery patterns.

The stage was decorated with paintings describing the beauty of the ao dai.

Miss Dayana Mendoza, Miss Venezuela, won the “Charming Ao Dai” title. The 22-year-old won the hearts of the audience with her stunning beauty, grace, and friendly smile.

Last year’s Miss Universe, Riyo Mori of Japan, said: “Viet Nam is one of the favorite places I have visited around the world. I got three ao dai’s and I’ll wear them at important events to promote the costume.”
