H'Hen Nie wore traditional Ede brocade attire at the event on 7/6. This marked the first public appearance for her 8-month-old daughter, Harley, at a showbiz event. Her mother carried baby Harley in a fabric sling across her chest. The beauty queen shared that the sling, embroidered with her daughter's name, was a gift from her maternal grandmother upon Harley's birth.

H'Hen Nie posed on the program's red carpet with her daughter. Despite the crowd, Harley did not fuss and enjoyed interacting with people.

H'Hen Nie explained that the multi-day casting and filming schedule prompted her to bring Harley along for easier care. Taking her daughter to work evoked memories of her own childhood, when her mother carried her to the fields. "This image is very familiar to villagers", she stated. "I want my child to have beautiful childhood memories, just like I do."

The beauty queen explained her reason for bringing her daughter to the event.

H'Hen Nie garnered attention after her debut as a mentor on The Face Vietnam, an announcement made on 28/5. She stated her acceptance of the organizers' invitation stemmed from a desire to share her experience with young models. Initially, she hesitated, concerned about a demanding schedule impacting childcare. However, her husband, photographer Tuan Khoi, encouraged her, promising his support. He also accompanied her on the trip to assist.

The beauty queen later changed outfits before entering the contestant selection room.

H'Hen Nie, 34, from Dak Lak, was crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2017. She subsequently competed in Miss Universe 2018, securing a spot in the top 5. In early 2019, the beauty website Missosology named her the winner of the Timeless Beauty title. She previously served as a mentor for the first season of The Next Face Vietnam and as a judge for Miss Universe Vietnam 2022. H'Hen Nie has also graced the covers of numerous domestic and international fashion magazines.

In acting, she starred as the lead in her debut film, 578: Shot of the Madman. In 2023, H'Hen Nie garnered attention by competing in "Chi dep dap gio re song" (Sisters Who Make Waves), reaching the finals.

The Face, a competition to discover advertising models, was founded by Nigel Barker, a former judge of America's Next Top Model. Contestants are grouped and trained by leading models in the entertainment industry. Since 2016, a Vietnamese entity has held the rights to organize the program. Winners from the 4 previous seasons include Phi Phuong Anh, Tu Hao, Mac Trung Kien, and Huynh Tu Anh.

The fifth season recently launched with online auditions, attracting numerous Gen Z participants. The panel of mentors features models Anh Thu, Vo Hoang Yen, and Miss H'Hen Nie, with designer Do Manh Cuong serving as host.
