22-year-old Luu Thi Diem Huong, Miss World Vietnam 2010, will be the representative for the country at this year’s Miss Universe contest, to be held in Las Vegas from December 19. In 2010, the 1.74-meter-tall beauty represented Vietnam at the Miss Earth competition held in Nha Trang and won the Best in Swimwear contest and entered the Top 14 at the contest. One year later, in February, she was voted by Global Beauties online magazine as one of three three most beautiful Asian women in Asia.
