The finale of Miss International 2024 was filled with emotions as Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy from Vietnam triumphed over other contestants to capture the highly sought-after crown. Overcome with joy, she shed tears when her name was announced as the winner.
Shortly after her victory, still in a state of shock, Thanh Thuy inquired about her parents’ whereabouts. She expressed her longing to share the moment with her family, prompting Pham Kim Dung, the President of Miss International Vietnam, to point them out in the audience, where they had avidly watched the event.
Throughout Thanh Thuy’s preparation, Pham Kim Dung was her constant supporter and was backstage to celebrate the win with her. During their meeting, Thanh Thuy was filled with joy, exchanging light-hearted banter about her successful conquest before heading off with the runners-up for subsequent events arranged by the organizers.
Stephen Diaz, the Communications Director of Miss International, joined in on the excitement, warmly embracing Pham Kim Dung in celebration of Vietnam’s achievement. This event marked a remarkable chapter not just for Thanh Thuy, but for the Vietnamese pageant scene as a whole.
With her win as Miss International 2024, Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy has made history as the first titleholder from Vietnam in this esteemed pageant. She now bears the honor and responsibility of representing Vietnam and aims to inspire women globally.
Currently, Vietnam proudly holds three of the top titles from the world’s six biggest beauty contests: Phuong Khanh (Miss Earth 2018), Thuy Tien (Miss Grand International 2021), and Huynh Thi Thanh Thuy (Miss International 2024).
