On the evening of December 11th, the second season of the Best of Vietnam fashion show took place in Ho Chi Minh City, featuring the contestants of Miss Cosmo 2025.

Collection   These new designs were created by designer Trung Dinh after three months of continuous work. Each design is meticulously handcrafted, inspired by the natural wonders, architectural masterpieces, and art of each country.

A special highlight of the evening was the stage recreating the City Post Office – a symbol of Ho Chi Minh City's more than 130-year-old French colonial architecture, with its curved arches, symmetrical iron frame, and distinctive color scheme subtly recreated to suit the cruise ship's ambiance.

The show opened with a special performance by Miss Cosmo 2024 Ketut Permata Juliastrid Sari, Runner-up Miss Cosmo 2024 Karnruethai Tassabut, along with Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 Nguyen Thi Ngoc Chau and Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 Bui Xuan Hanh.

Four beautiful women lead the audience back in time through four milestones in the development of the Vietnamese ao dai: the Giao Linh ao dai, the Tu Than ao dai, the Ngu Than ao dai during the reign of King Gia Long, to the Raglan ao dai of the 1960s, creating a fusion of cultural identity and modern life.

In the ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) segment, Peru's representative, Kelín Rivera, stood out in a vibrant pink ao dai, featuring an image of Mount Vinicunca – the famous rainbow mountain known for its naturally brilliant colors. She paired it with a large, colorful conical hat, a symbol of Peruvian culture. The Philippines' representative, Chelsea Fernandez, looked elegant in an ao dai in shades of green transitioning to yellow, with images of Manila's modern high-rise buildings printed on the skirt.

The audience was amazed by the performance of Miss Peru:

Most notably, Vietnam's representative, Nguyen Hoang Phuong Linh, proudly walked the runway in an ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) featuring an image of Nha Rong Wharf – a unique architectural symbol of Ho Chi Minh City – showcasing her pride in the nation's cultural heritage.
