The latest competition marks the third consecutive year that a design contest has been held in order to select a national costume for the Vietnamese representative  while participating in Miss Universe. The two previous versions of the event saw H’Hen Nie wear an outfit known as “Banh Mi”, or simply “Bread” in English, with Hoang Thuy dressing as “Ca Phe Phin Sua Da”, or “Iced milk coffee”, leaving a great impression on both the judges and members of the audience.
