This season brings together 15 contestants selected from nationwide auditions that are ready to compete across various challenges for the coveted title.

Among them are standout faces like Tuyet Mai, a Taekwondo athlete with ideal proportions and fierce presence; Uyen Do, known for her bold, curly hairstyle and strong fashion flair; and Lai Mai Hoa, who stuns with her towering height of 1.84m.

The show will also welcome several familiar names from pageants and social media, such as Vu My Ngan, Top 15 Miss National Vietnam 2024; Tam Thanh, a content creator with a chameleon-like style; Tra My, a.k.a. Nàng Mơ on social media; as well as professional photo models and runway veterans such as Pham An, Hang Ngo, Huyen Thuong, Ai Bang, Bao Ngoc, and Giang Phung.

According to producers, this upgraded season is designed to find top-tier models who are not only ready to dominate local runways but also prepared to conquer the international stage. Contestants were selected through a rigorous multi-round evaluation process, assessing their physical attributes, unique personality, work ethic, and determination. The challenges this season will be more demanding, aiming to push the models beyond their limits.

This year’s judging panel comprises supermodel Thanh Hang, makeup artist Nam Trung, fashion designer Do Manh Cuong, and creative director Ha Do.

Originally created by Tyra Banks, Next Top Model has been adapted in over 100 countries. The Vietnamese version first aired in 2010 on VTV3 and has since launched the careers of numerous successful models such as Trang Khieu, Tuyet Lan, Hoang Thuy, Mau Thuy, Kha My Van, and Nguyen Oanh.
