Supporters of Pham Huong, the Vietnamese contender at this year’s Miss Universe, have started the new week with some sad news: their beloved beauty has bowed out of the pageant.
The beauty queens shortlisted for the last 15 of the competition are from Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, France, the U.S., Curacao, Belgium, Japan, Venezuela, South Africa, Columbia, Mexico and Thailand.
The three-hour finale of the 2015 Miss Universe is being broadcast live on Vietnam’s national channel VTV6, starting from 7:00 am on Monday.
Huong’s failure to make the last 15 is a disappointment for her supporters, not only in Vietnam but around the world, and goes against most observers’ predictions.
It had been anticipated that the 24-year-old Vietnamese beauty would make it to the Top 15, as she has won the hearts of millions of supporters not inside her home country but around the world.
Norman Tinio, a renowned blogger covering the world’s top beauty pageants, had predicted prior to Monday’s finale that Huong could make the final five.
The Vietnamese contender had earlier jumped to top spot on the People’s Choice Miss Universe Poll, gaining 2,309,280 votes, and ranking her ahead of beauties from Thailand, the Philippines, Hungary and the Dominican Republic.
Huong was born as Pham Thi Huong on September 4, 1991 in the northern Vietnamese city of Hai Phong.
The Vietnamese beauty has a BA in marketing and now lives in Ho Chi Minh City, where she teaches at the Saigon College of Arts, Culture and Tourism.
In October 2015, Huong was crowned Miss Universe Vietnam at the finale that took place in the south-central city of Nha Trang.
Since Huong began her journey, she has gradually won more hearts not only from Vietnam, but also from abroad with her gorgeous body, including vital statistics of 80 – 59 – 90, and her broad and dazzling smile.
This year’s Miss Universe has attracted over 80 contestants from countries around the world, including the UK, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, India, Australia, France, Singapore, and Canada.
Miss Universe 2014, Paulina Vega of Colombia, will crown her successor at the end of the event.
The winner will be responsible for raising global awareness of HIV/AIDS through numerous worldwide humanitarian activities.
