The beauty queen was visibly moved as she opened the box containing the Solara Aurelia crown on stage during the final competition on the evening of 14/9. The newly crowned Miss Grand Vietnam has two weeks to prepare for Miss Grand International 2025.

The 21-year-old stands at 1.72 m tall, with measurements of 81-64-92 cm. She previously competed in 2024, finishing in the top 15. Throughout the two-month competition, Yen Nhi maintained a strong performance in various segments and garnered attention from audiences across numerous beauty pageant forums. She placed in the top 5 of the Grand Heat (Swimsuit Competition) and received high praise in the Grand Voice Award segment.

During the question-and-answer segment for the top 5, judge Ha Kieu Anh asked: "As a young person, what actions will you take to contribute to Vietnam's rising era?".

Yen Nhi responded in both English and Vietnamese: "As a tourism student, I believe my contributions to the country will manifest in three actions. First, I will be a storyteller for Vietnam, sharing its cultural and historical values and promoting its national heritage to international friends through sustainable and humane tourism.

Second, I will apply innovation and digital transformation in tourism technology to help destinations and local communities reach more international tourists while preserving Vietnamese identity.

Finally, I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to become a tourism ambassador, bridging the world with Vietnam, not only through its natural landscapes but also through the kindness and resilience of its youth."

The first through fourth runners-up were Nguyen Thi Thu Ngan (Ca Mau), Le Thi Thu Tra (Nghe An), Dinh Y Quyen (Gia Lai), and La Ngoc Phuong Anh (An Giang), respectively.

The organizers also presented additional awards: Best Introduction - Pham Yen, Best Speech on the Theme of Peace - Lan Ngoc Phuong Anh, The Grand Business - Phan Nhu Thuy, Miss Fashion - Nguyen Thi Hong, and Most Popular Contestant - Bui Thi Uyen Phuong.

The best national costume award went to "Thang Long Hoi" by designer Nguyen Huy Hoang. The newly crowned Miss Grand Vietnam will wear this creation at Miss Grand International 2025.

The 35 contestants kicked off the finale with a dynamic group performance, calling out their names energetically. Singers Nguyen Tran Trung Quan, Denis Dang, Hera Ngoc Hang, and Hellen energized the stage with their musical performances.

The final competition took place outdoors on the grounds of a hotel. Many audience members commented that the program was lengthy, stretching over four hours with numerous advertisements and guest appearances. Mister Vietnam Pham Tuan Ngoc mistakenly omitted contestant Thu Ngan from the top 15, briefly interrupting the program.

Compared to previous years, the scale of the competition was perceived as smaller and less engaging. The organizers also condensed the activities and preliminary rounds in Ho Chi Minh City instead of traveling to multiple provinces.

Miss Grand Vietnam 2025 launched mid-year with highlights such as: Vietnam Beauty Fashion Fest (VBFF), National Costume, The Grand Voice, The Grand Walk, The Grand Heat, The Grand Shoot, The Grand Chat, and The Grand Business.

The judging panel consisted of Miss Ha Kieu Anh (Head Judge), artist Vuong Duy Bien (Deputy Head Judge), along with members Miss Le Hoang Phuong, Doan Thien An, and actor Quoc Truong.

The organization holding the license decided to host the domestic competition for the first time in 2022 after Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien's victory at Miss Grand International 2021 in Thailand. Subsequently, they sent their winners to compete internationally. Over three seasons, the winners have been Doan Thien An, Le Hoang Phuong, and Vo Le Que Anh.
