The designer's talent has transformed the ao dai into works of fashion art, showcasing individual creativity. Overall, the collection truly impresses with its two defining characteristics: the beauty and qualities of Vietnamese women.

The chairwoman of the Miss Businesswoman Vietnam 2025 pageant, Master's degree holder and former beauty queen Le Thi Tho, wore a unique ao dai designed by Nguyen Viet Hung at the final night of the competition.

Along with the Sen Viet ao dai, designer Nguyen Viet Hung also introduced to the public a number of unique ao dai designs used in theatrical and artistic events. This was most clearly demonstrated in the ao dai worn by the President of the Miss Businesswoman Universe Vietnam 2025 competition, Master and Miss Le Thi Tho, during the final night.

Miss Le Thi Tho is a fan of traditional Vietnamese ao dai designs and often chooses to wear them to important events. For her, the ao dai is a symbol of Vietnamese culture and spirit. Through countless historical ups and downs, the ao dai remains a source of pride and holds a special place in the hearts of the Vietnamese people.

Ms. Le Thi Tho (born in 1989), a Master's degree holder and former beauty queen, was crowned Miss Businesswoman Asia Vietnam 2023. She is the President of several beauty pageants, including Miss Vietnam Beach and Miss Businesswoman Universe Vietnam.

Miss Le Thi Tho shared that the designs of designer Nguyen Viet Hung not only contribute to honoring traditional beauty but also demonstrate creativity and dedication in preserving and promoting the cultural values ​​of the nation.

The traditional Vietnamese dress (áo dài) worn by the competition's president, Master's degree holder and former beauty queen Lê Thị Thơ, features two main colors: red and black, creating an elegant, powerful, and authoritative look. Black symbolizes mystery, allure, and steadfastness. Red, a warm color, represents the ever-burning flame of the profession and the protective velvet curtain of the stage. This fashion piece is part of Nguyễn Việt Hùng's "Colors of the Stage" collection, which, as he revealed, is a heartfelt tribute from the designer and his collaborators to the generations of predecessors in the profession.

With Nguyen Viet Hung's ao dai, it's easy to see that the spirit and traditional elements are always preserved. Admiring his ao dai creations, one can see an image of Vietnam that is gentle, elegant, resilient, and overflowing with national pride."

He once confided to the press about showcasing Vietnamese beauty internationally through the traditional ao dai dress: “When I stepped out into the world , I truly felt the immense national pride.
