The contest, a highlight of the festival, will feature dolls modelled after beauty queens, and will have both semi-professional and professional categories, aiming to celebrate artistry and creativity.

The event will help to connect the community of art lovers, fashion, design, cosplay, and music, especially provide an opportunity for doll lovers to meet and exchange, said designer Phuong Ho, head of the organising board of Doll Fest 2025.

For the first time there will be a large-scale doll exhibition, with 150 booths displaying domestic and foreign dolls. The “Doll Show” concert will return for its fourth season, featuring famous artists and a specially staged musical sharing a message about dolls.

The festival will feature a wide range of activities, including the launch of fairy tale doll collection, doll cosplay, and a doll costume design contest specifically for students.

Workshops on doll-making, doll-style makeovers, miniature cooking, interactions with doll collectors, and charity doll auctions are expected to entertain many doll lovers.

Miss Global Vietnam 2022 Doan Hong Trang, Miss Eco Teen International 2021 Bella Vu, and famous doll maker Bui Thinh Da will also be taking part in activities at Doll Fest 2025.
