Vietnam just made pageant history. Nguyen Huong Giang has been announced as the country’s official delegate to Miss Universe 2025, and she will be the first transgender woman from Vietnam to step onto that stage.
Huong Giang is no stranger to the spotlight. She first caught the public’s eye on Vietnam Idol back in 2012, then went on to build a career as a singer, actress, and TV personality. In 2018, she took home the crown at Miss International Queen in Thailand, proving early on that she had both star power and pageant skills.
This time around, she didn’t need to compete in a local pageant. The Miss Universe Vietnam team handpicked her, calling out her beauty, intelligence, and resilience as the perfect mix to represent the country. For them, it was about more than looks. It was about someone with a powerful story who could inspire on an international stage.
Her selection is a big deal. Not only is she breaking ground for Vietnam, she will also be the first transgender woman from Asia to compete in Miss Universe. That kind of visibility matters, and fans around the world are already cheering her on.
Huong Giang has been open about her journey, talking about perseverance and the importance of representation. She says she wants to break stereotypes and show others that believing in yourself can change everything.
As the countdown to Miss Universe 2025 begins, Huong Giang is stepping into the role with confidence and grace. She is not just representing Vietnam, she is representing a new era in pageantry, one where identity and individuality shine just as brightly as the crown.
