Ky Duyen crowned in Le Thanh Hoa gown

On the night of September 14 in Ho Chi Minh City, Kỳ Duyên made a stunning impression in a sheer golden yellow gown with a high thigh slit. The halter neckline adorned with crystals and beads, combined with the daring low-cut chest and belly, showcased her seductive allure during the evening gown segment.

Fashion Designer Le Thanh Hoa shared that he and his team made final adjustments to the dress just days before the competition. The handcrafted design, featuring a delicate bird wing motif on the gown's bodice, symbolized life, the desire for freedom, and soaring ambition. Originally, Le Thanh Hoa had created a different gown for Kỳ Duyên, but after trying on this one during a catwalk practice, the Miss Vietnam fell in love with it and decided to make the switch.

"I am deeply moved and happy to see Kỳ Duyên - who has been a close friend of mine for 10 years - wearing my designs during the opening and closing moments of the competition," he said.

According to the designer, after many ups and downs in her personal life, the Ky Duyen has evolved and grown compared to the early days of her reign as Miss Vietnam 2014. He added: "What I admire most about Kỳ Duyên is her hard work, perseverance, and strong determination to achieve what she wants."
