Huong Giang's swimsuit performance caused much controversy.

(Dan Tri) - Huong Giang's swimsuit performance at the Miss Universe 2025 pageant on November 14 caused much controversy. The Vietnamese representative also shared about her performance, which was considered to lack energy.

This year's swimsuit competition attracted great attention as contestants showed off their bodies in bikinis and performed on difficult terrain, with stairs placed next to the swimming pool.

Appearing in a bright orange two-piece bikini, Huong Giang let her hair down naturally in light curls. Her performance quickly attracted the attention of fans.

However, some viewers commented that the beauty showed tension and lacked energy in her stride. Her facial expressions were also said to be not confident. Besides the comments, many people sent words of encouragement, hoping that Huong Giang would regain her form in the next competitions.

Sharing after the performance, Huong Giang gave herself 5/10 points and admitted that she was not satisfied. She revealed a backstage incident that affected her spirit and caused her to not perform well.

“Today I just tried to catwalk without falling or having an accident. I really lacked energy. Because at that time I was not focused and had a lot of worries in my head,” she said.

The beauty said she discovered sensitive details were leaked in a video posted by the Miss Universe 2025 team right before the competition. At that time, it was her turn to perform so she was forced to quickly meet with the Organizing Committee to find a solution and protective gear.

Huong Giang expressed her emotion at the encouragement from the audience and affirmed that she will try harder in the upcoming important competitions.

In the swimsuit competition, many representatives were highly appreciated for their body shape and performance skills, including Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Philippines, Thailand, Puerto Rico...

The beauty said she believes in her preparation and many years of experience in the entertainment industry, and is confident in expressing her emotions and personal stories to the Miss Universe Organization.

In recent days, Huong Giang has been commented on for always being neat in her outfit and makeup style every time she appears. Before the Closed Interview round, she affirmed that she is "very confident and ready".
