VOV.VN - Ede ethnic girl H’hen Nie was crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 on the final night of the pageant in the south central province of Khanh Hoa’s Nha Trang City on January 6.

H’hen Nie, 26, from the Central Highland province of Dak Lak is currently a model in Ho Chi Minh City. She is 1.72 meters tall and measures 84-60-93.

In 2014 H’hen Nie was declared a new talent among Vietnamese models when she performed in a fashion show entitled “The Twins” by designer Do Manh Cuong. In 2015 she was a Top 9 finalist of Vietnam's Next Top Model contest.

After her Vietnam's Next Top Model 2015 success, her pageantry dream began. With the encouragement of friends who told her she looked like Miss Jamaica Universe 2014 Kaci Fennell, she was determined to compete.

Over two years, she dedicated herself to learning as much as possible about stage performance and presentation to prepare for the Miss Universe Vietnam pageant.

H’hen Nie is one of the stand out candidates for the Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 pageant.

She endears herself to audiences with her golden brown skin, toned physique, short hair, and alluring confidence in her performances.

On the final night, H’hen Nie gives a self-assured display in the evening gown, swimsuit, and Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) events.

In the Q&A session, she said her ambition is to assist orphans in Bao Loc City, Lam Dong Province, and provide support to women and HIV-infected people.
