History
[edit]Miss Vietnam is the biggest beauty pageant and the first nationwide beauty contest after the unification of Vietnam. Before that, there was also a South Vietnamese Saigon-based beauty contest named Miss Vietnam 1955 Công Thị Nghĩa became the first titleholder of the contest as well as the first national beauty pageant titleholder in Vietnamese history.[2] In 1965, Miss Vietnam 1965 was held with the coronation of Thai Kim Huong, who later represented Vietnam at Miss Asia 1965 in Manila, Philippines.[3] The after-unification contest Miss Vietnam was initiated and organized by Tien Phong newspaper, called "Miss Tien Phong Newspaper", starting from 1988 and is held every two years. The first person to hold the title is Bùi Bích Phương.[4] The contest was officially renamed as "Miss Vietnam" in 2002.
During the period from 1988 to 2000, beauty queens did not participate in international beauty contests.[5] In 2002, they were sent to participate in Miss World.[6] However, from 2006 to 2014, due to many issues surrounding the beauty queens, they could not attend Miss World.[7] From 2016 to 2020, they continued to participate in Miss World.[8] Until 2022, Miss Vietnam will attend Miss International.[9]
