Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi, the representative of Vietnam, showcased her talents and left a lasting impression during the preliminary events leading up to the Miss World 2025 finale. The 23-year-old beauty queen from Bình Định province demonstrated her grace and poise, ultimately earning a spot in the top 40 finalists. However, she was not among those selected for the top 20, marking the end of her journey towards bringing home the Miss World crown for Vietnam.

In the subsidiary contests, Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi achieved her best result in the Top 8 of the Beauty with a Purpose competition. She also made it to the Top 32 in the Sports competition, Top 24 in the Talent competition, and Top 20 in the Media contest. However, she did not advance to the final round of the Speech competition, despite delivering a confident and fluent performance that was well-received by domestic audiences.
Prior to Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi, the Vietnamese representatives with the best performances at Miss World were Lan Khuê, who finished in the Top 11, followed by Lương Thùy Linh in the Top 12 in 2019, and Đỗ Thị Hà in the Top 13 in 2021.

While Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi maintained Vietnam’s streak of placements in the Top 40 at Miss World, beauty enthusiasts in the country had higher expectations for the 23-year-old queen. When the Top 20 was announced and Vietnam was not included, there was a wave of disappointment among the fan community. Many celebrities, including former beauty queens Lương Thùy Linh, Bảo Ngọc, and Á hậu Quỳnh Châu, as well as Minh Kiên, offered words of comfort and encouragement to Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi.
However, there were also mixed reactions on various beauty forums, with some commenting that her failure to advance to the Top 20 was predictable, and even suggesting that her performance was not strong enough to make a deeper impression at Miss World 2025.

Prior to her participation in Miss World 2025, Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi had two years to prepare since winning the Miss World Vietnam 2023 title. She is one of the few Vietnamese representatives with the longest preparation time for an international pageant, including opportunities to improve her language skills and pursue her studies abroad. In addition, her management team equipped her with various skills and provided a strong support system, including designers, for her journey to Miss World.

Despite the high expectations, there are valid reasons why Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi did not advance to the Top 20 of Miss World 2025.
To date, Miss World is one of the oldest and most prestigious beauty pageants globally, known for its intense competition and the largest number of participating candidates. Each year, the criteria for selecting the finalists and the format of the finale vary, further intensifying the competition among the contestants.
This year, the selection of the Top 40 finalists was particularly competitive and differed from previous years, with an equal distribution of representatives from four continents: America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. From this initial group, the competition narrowed down to the Top 20, Top 8, and ultimately, the Top 4. Each region had one representative in the final stage, vying for the crown and three runner-up positions.
The Top 20 finalists were strong contenders from each region.
Within Asia alone, Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi faced formidable competitors from Thailand, the Philippines, India, and other countries. From the outset, these delegates were considered frontrunners for the Miss World title, while Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi received less attention and was often absent from prediction lists leading up to the finale. Despite her efforts to improve her language skills and refine her talents, she was still evaluated as less competitive compared to other contestants from the Asian region. For international beauty enthusiasts, the absence of Vietnam in the Top 20 was an expected outcome.
In comparison to previous Vietnamese representatives like Lương Thùy Linh and Đỗ Thị Hà, who faced similar competition within Asia, Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi lacked a defining moment or consistent spotlight throughout the month-long Miss World activities. On the official fan page of the pageant, her presence was minimal compared to other Asian delegates who consistently captured the attention of international media. Additionally, she did not secure any wins in the subsidiary contests, unlike Lương Thùy Linh, who placed in the Top 12 in 2019 with multiple achievements in the Top Model, Bikini, Media, and Talent competitions, and Đỗ Thị Hà, who won the Digital Challenge and advanced to the Top 13.
Across various forums, despite her efforts to stand out, many commented that Huỳnh Trần Ý Nhi’s journey at Miss World 2025 lacked impact and was relatively subdued. Furthermore, Vietnam’s sash at Miss World has yet to establish a strong presence to propel its representatives further in the competition. In contrast, Thailand’s Opal Suchata, who was crowned Miss World 2025, had previously given up her title as 3rd runner-up at Miss Universe 2024 to pursue her dream of bringing the Miss World crown to her country. This decision garnered significant attention from international media, and Thailand has consistently produced strong contenders and winners at Miss World, solidifying their influence in the Asian region.
