The closing night of the 73rd Miss World in Vietnam: A look back at the historic crowning moments of the 75th anniversary.

A perfect mix of original music and ocean dances.

On the opening night of the finale, the audience on the outdoor stage at Nha Trang Beach, along with live viewers on VTV8 and other digital platforms, enjoyed the heritage-rich art space.

With choreography by Khoa Nguyen and masterful musical arrangements by producer Minh Duy, Sac Mau Dance Company brought to life the image of goddess Po Nagar in their Cham dance. The traditional costumes and graceful movements of the 24 dancers added to the rich cultural atmosphere of the region for the international audience.

After that, the atmosphere became more intense as world dances were showcased. Here, 111 contestants from different continents took the flags of their countries and performed outstanding dances. As a result, the perfect mix of popular and modern music turned the Miss World stage into a true festival of sounds and dance.

One of the most emotional moments of the evening was the Ao Dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) fashion show, which was presented by 111 international contestants. The collections of the three designers, Le Duan Hung, Tran Thien Khanh and Ngo Nhat Huy, are skillfully combined with traditional handmade Vietnamese props.

While contestants from the Americas and the Caribbean dazzled in brocade fabrics and red and purple patterned conical hats, European and African contestants exuded elegance with wooden fans and the charm of rustic Paw Truk crockery. Meanwhile, contestants from Asia and Oceania looked very graceful in Ao Dai dresses with Thanh Tien paper flowers and fragrant lotus buds.

Along with fashion, music continues to play an important role in connecting the emotions of the audience during each stage of the pageant. Singer Kok Tein opened the series with “Sky Note”, creating an upbeat musical atmosphere with modern pop/electronic tunes mixed with his powerful voice, bringing the contestants to life as they announced the Top 40 list.

Continuing this lively atmosphere, singer Hera Ngoc Hang, who won second place, performed her romantic song “The Man I’m Looking For”, adding a delicate lyrical touch to the quiet moments of the competition.

A journey of compassion and a night of reunion of beauty icons.

After an evening of dazzling performances and a spirited Q&A, the six finalists were announced: Eritrea, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, Spain and South Africa. It is worth noting that the representative of the host country, Vietnam, took a place among the six finalists amid the enthusiastic approval of the audience.

But the matter did not stop there; At the end of the program, touching moments were heightened by the screening of a film that looked back on the journey of the Miss World pageant over 75 years. The most poignant moment, however, was the song “One World”, where Julia Morley (president of the Miss World pageant), Pham Kim Dong and director Hoang Nhat Nam joined former Miss World queens and children in a group song, sending a message of global solidarity.

Notably, the event also included a ceremony to hand over the 74th Miss World pageant flag to the representative of Tanzania.
