Do Thi Ha, a 19-year-old contestant from the north-central province of Thanh Hoa, was crowned Miss Vietnam 2020 on Friday night.

The final night of the beauty pageant was organized at Phu Tho Stadium in District 11, Ho Chi Minh City.

It was broadcast live on national TV channel VTV3 and relayed on 14 other broadcasters and social media platforms.

Following a performance in Vietnam’s traditional costume ‘ao dai’ joined by 35 semifinalists, the panel of judges selected the top 22, who then competed in their swimsuits for the top 15 to participate in the evening gown competition.

The judges next picked the top ten before slimming down to the top five, which included Huynh Nguyen Minh Phuong, Do Thi Ha, Pham Thi Phuong Quynh, Pham Ngoc Phuong Anh, and Nguyen Le Ngoc Thao.

The five beauties competed in the question and answer round, followed by the announcement of the top three.

At the end of the night, Do Thi Ha, a 19-year-old girl who hails from Thanh Hoa Province and is studying at the prestigious National Economics University (NEU) in Hanoi, was crowned Miss Vietnam 2020.

Pham Ngoc Phuong Anh from Ho Chi Minh City was the first runner-up, and Nguyen Le Ngoc Thao, another beauty from the same city, was the second runner-up of the contest.
