Tyra Banks wants to wear Ao Dai
World supermodel Tyra Banks said she wants to appear at the final stage of Vietnam’s Next Top Model in an Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress).
In her email to the organizing board of the event, the top model said she was very excited to wear an Ao Dai for a number of events, including a press conference, a photograph show and at the programme’s final night on January 8.
She said it will provide her with a good opportunity to show her respect for the Vietnamese culture.
Banks will arrive in Ho Chi Minh City on January 7 and will stay at InterContinential Asiana Saigon Hotel.
She will hold a press conference at Riverside Palace Wedding and Convention on the morning of January 8.
Later the same day, she will join Vietnam’s Next Top Model’s jury board to choose the winner of the programme.
Banks also wants to travel across Vietnam, especially Ha Long Bay, which was recently listed among the world’s new seven natural wonders.
Ha Long Bay has been twice recognized as World Heritage site by UNESCO.
