Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy, a 19-year-old student from Da Nang, was crowned the winner of the Miss Vietnam 2022 competition in HCMC on Friday night.

Thuy beat 34 other finalists to win the prize of VND350 million ($14,840). She is a student at the University of Foreign Language Studies in Da Nang.

One of the competition’s questions asked Thuy how she would navigate in a world with 8 billion people.

"On November 15, 2022, the world reached a population of 8 billion people and I was wondering if I would feel small in this world among that many people," her answer began.

"But I believe that with my effort, patience and faith in myself, I can bring great value to the world," she concluded.

The 2022 Miss Vietnam finals included performances in traditional ao dai (top 35 competitors), swimsuits (top 20), evening gowns (top 10) and the Q&A section "beauty with a purpose" (top 5).

The first runner-up is Trinh Thuy Linh, 21, from Thanh Hoa Province. The second runner-up is 19-year-old Le Nguyen Ngoc Hang from Ho Chi Minh City.

Since its first pageant in 1988, Miss Vietnam has been one of the most popular beauty contests in the country. The first winner was Bui Bich Phuong.

2022 Miss Vietnam was the 18th edition of the contest. The 2020 winner Do Thi Ha crowned her successor at the end of the event.
