Contrary to the expectations of many fans, Huong Giang was unable to make it into the top 30 of the Miss Universe 2025 contest. However, the mark that the Vietnamese representative left in this year's competition was not small.

Throughout the Miss Universe 2025 finals, Huong Giang's image was continuously broadcast and the beauty's story of perseverance and pursuit of her dreams made a great impression on the audience.

Before the final, many beauty sites predicted that Huong Giang would be in the top 30. In the context of the 2025 season gathering many contestants with outstanding body shape, performance skills and inspirational stories, the top 30 achievement is considered appropriate.

Throughout the competition, Huong Giang impressed with her positive energy, meticulousness in every activity and friendly demeanor with the international media. The Vietnamese representative also made it into the top 3 in the Beyond the Crown category - an award for influential social projects - thanks to a large number of votes from the global audience.

Huong Giang was chosen to represent Vietnam at Miss Universe 2025 in September. According to the Miss Universe Vietnam Organization, she is a testament to the resilience, courage and talent of modern Vietnamese women.

The selection of Huong Giang caused many surprises, because she is the first transgender beauty of Vietnam to participate in Miss Universe and the first transgender contestant from Asia to participate in this beauty arena.

Sharing her reasons for participating in the contest, Huong Giang said: “I believe it is time to write history. My appearance in this contest is to carry the hope of a community, adding meaning to the beauty and value of women. I also believe that true courage can change destiny.”

In the more than 70-year history of Miss Universe, before Huong Giang, there were only 3 transgender representatives participating. The most prominent of which was Spanish beauty Angela Ponce - the first transgender contestant to participate in Miss Universe in 2018.

In 2012, the Miss Universe Organization officially allowed transgender contestants to participate, but it was not until 2018 that the first representative appeared. Angela Ponce then surpassed 22 other contestants to be crowned Miss Universe Spain and became a pioneer in the Miss Universe arena.

Angela Ponce is highly regarded for her 1.82m height, beautiful body, performance skills and inspirational story. She underwent sex reassignment surgery in 2014 and said that this decision helped her to truly be herself. Her appearance at Miss Universe is meaningful in promoting equality and rights for transgender people.

Although she did not make it to the top of Miss Universe 2018, Angela Ponce was still honored by the organizers with a video recording her journey from childhood to becoming a representative of Spain.

After the contest, she continued to work in the modeling industry and participated in many programs supporting the LGBT community (transgender, lesbian and bisexual community).

At Miss Universe 2023, two transgender contestants - Marina Machete (Portugal) and Rikkie Kollé (Netherlands) - also attracted attention with their own stories of overcoming prejudice, pursuing dreams and supporting people in similar situations. Of which, the Portuguese representative entered the top 20 and became the transgender contestant with the best achievement in the history of the Miss Universe contest.

Regarding the achievements of the Vietnamese representative, the highest position still belongs to H'Hen Nie with the top 5 of Miss Universe 2018. In the 2024 season, the Vietnamese representative - Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen - stopped at the Top 30.
