A year after Huỳnh Thị Thanh Thủy was crowned Miss International 2024, the echoes of her victory have yet to fade. No longer just a moment of celebration, her journey is now viewed through a bigger question: Could this be the turning point that establishes Vietnam as a beauty powerhouse?
Why Did Thanh Thủy Make Such a Big Impact?
Miss International is not an easy pageant to conquer. Compared to competitions that favor dazzling beauty like Miss Universe or Miss Grand, MI values elegance, grace, and intellectual depth. To win, beauty alone is not enough—and Thanh Thủy proved she had much more.
🔥 What did international media say?
Immediately after her coronation, Thanh Thủy caught the attention of global media. Express Tribune (Pakistan) remarked that she “exudes the essence of a true Miss International—elegant, refined, yet modern.” Meanwhile, Rappler (Philippines) called her victory “well-deserved, showcasing Vietnam’s remarkable progress in the beauty scene.”
More importantly, the global beauty community also agreed with the results.
On beauty forums, Thanh Thủy received a warmer reception than expected. There was little controversy or backlash—a rarity in major international pageants.
🔥 A fan from the Philippines commented: “I’ve followed her since the beginning. Vietnam has truly studied Miss International thoroughly, and Thanh Thủy was the perfect choice.”
🔥 A Thai fan nodded in agreement: “She doesn’t have the sharp beauty of a Miss Universe winner, but she has a unique charm—gentle yet unforgettable.”
🔥 A Brazilian account even made a comparison: “If Miss Universe requires explosive energy, then Miss International needs a beauty like Thanh Thủy—subtle but deeply memorable.”
One of the most touching moments was when Thanh Thủy met a fan holding the Vietnamese flag in Japan. She personally engaged with them in Vietnamese and embraced them emotionally. Moments like these don’t just make a queen beautiful—they make her unforgettable in the hearts of the audience.
Vietnam – The Next Beauty Powerhouse?
Thanh Thủy’s victory was not a stroke of luck. Before her, Vietnam had been consistently making waves in major beauty competitions. Miss International 2024 was merely the final confirmation that Vietnam had officially entered the ranks of beauty powerhouses.
We now have our first-ever Miss International. But more importantly, we have global recognition. If future representatives maintain this momentum, who’s to say Vietnam won’t soon have a Miss Universe or Miss World?
Thanh Thủy has proven that Vietnam is no longer just a “challenger”—we have truly become a “conqueror.”
