Vietnam is the proud host country of the historic 75th Anniversary Edition of Miss World, set to take place from August 9 (arrival in Hanoi) to September 5 (Final Event in Ho Chi Minh City).
The official announcement was made during the Miss World Vietnam final on March 29 by Julia Morley CBE and representatives of Sen Vàng, the local organizers and co-producers of the event.
Founded in 1951 by Eric Morley, Miss World held its first edition in London. This year, the organization celebrates 75 years of history and Beauty With a Purpose while presenting its 73rd edition.
Julia Morley CBE, Chairwoman and CEO of the Miss World Organization, together with the reigning Miss World, Opal Suchata of Thailand, are currently in Vietnam to officially launch the historic celebration alongside Sen Vàng.
From the breathtaking limestone landscapes of Ha Long Bay to the vibrant energy of Hanoi and the dynamic spirit of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam offers a remarkable blend of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and modern sophistication. Throughout their journey, contestants and visitors will have the opportunity to explore iconic destinations, engage with local communities, and experience the country’s renowned hospitality, making this edition a truly immersive cultural experience.
Julia Morley CBE said:
“I am truly delighted to celebrate 75 years of Miss World and Beauty With a Purpose in Vietnam, a country that exudes culture, warmth, and an extraordinary sense of hospitality, and that has always welcomed us with open arms. I very much look forward to arriving in Vietnam and sharing this special moment with its wonderful people.”
Miss World Opal Suchata added:
“I am so happy to know that I will crown my successor in Vietnam. During my journey, my roommate was Miss World Vietnam, Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi, who became a good friend and always spoke about her beautiful country with such love and pride. I have grown to truly love Vietnam, and being so close to Thailand makes this even more special, as I hope many of my friends will join me for this celebration and my farewell moment.”
Mr. Hoàng Nhật Nam, representing the Sen Vàng team, expressed his enthusiasm for co-hosting the event:
“Working alongside the Miss World Organization to produce such a special edition, while showcasing Vietnam to the world, fills me and my team with immense joy and gratitude. Together, we will deliver a truly outstanding event.”
Sen Vàng previously co-produced the Mr World Festival in 2024, further strengthening its collaboration with the Miss World Organization.
