Final Miss Grand International The Miss Grand International 2025 pageant is scheduled to take place on October 18th at MGI Hall, Bangkok, Thailand, with 77 contestants competing. After the competition, the winner of Miss Grand International 2025 will receive the crown and sash from Christine Julian Opiaza, Miss Grand International 2024 from the Philippines.
The Vietnamese contestant in this year's competition is Miss Yen Nhi. Yen Nhi only had about 15 days to prepare from the time she was crowned Miss Grand Vietnam until she went to Thailand. This is a significant disadvantage for the beauty queen. Furthermore, this year's competition has many strong contestants, making Yen Nhi's journey at Miss Grand 2025 even more challenging.
Many strong competitors
In a press conference ahead of the competition, Mr. Nawat assessed that Miss Grand International 2025 has the most beautiful contestants in many years. “Each continent has many beautiful women, but we have to choose one winner. From Canada, the US, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia... to Asia, Thailand and the Philippines all stand out. There is one country that surprised me. That is Laos. Laos looks very beautiful, Indonesia is lovely, Malaysia is also good. In addition, there are many beautiful women from Europe, France, Spain...,” Nawat said.
As shared by Mr. Nawat, this year's competition has many strong contestants who meet the important criteria set by the organizers: beauty. Along with that, there are strong contenders in catwalk skills, communication abilities, etc.
In a closed-door interview with the judges, Miss Grand International contestants were asked to vote for the person they believed would win. Ultimately, the representative from Thailand received 15 votes out of 76 contestants. This was followed by the Philippines (10 votes), Ghana (7 votes), Indonesia (6 votes), the United Kingdom (5 votes), Kosovo and Tanzania (3 votes each). According to statistics from a beauty pageant website. According to Missosology , Yen Nhi did not receive any votes.
In a recent post reviewing the 20 most outstanding contestants of Miss Grand International 2025, Missosology The beauty from Kosovo, Brikena Selman, was also highly praised. Besides Brikena Selman taking the top spot, Missosology Indonesia, Peru, Zambia, and Venezuela secured the remaining four spots in the top 5. The top 20 also included contestants from Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Myanmar, France, and others.
What opportunities are there for Yen Nhi?
Over the past few days, Miss Grand International 2025 has conducted several preliminary rounds such as talent, public speaking, swimsuit presentation, and closed-door interviews. In addition, on the evening of October 13th, the contestants participated in the national costume competition.
One positive point for Yen Nhi is that she maintained a good spirit and showed energy in the activities as well as the catwalk performances. However, based on the results of the preliminary rounds that have been announced, Yen Nhi is not yet a standout contender. Therefore, the chances for the beauty queen to break through and get closer to the crown this year are quite slim.
Before the official start of Miss Grand International 2025, the organizers launched a voting round via the competition's Facebook and Instagram pages. The voting period ran from September 24th to September 30th. According to the announcement, the top 10 contestants, based on the number of likes (heart emojis) and shares of their portrait photos, would have the right to attend an exclusive dinner with Nawat Itsaragrisil (Chairman of the competition), Teresa Chaiwisut (Vice Chairman of the competition), and Christine Julian Opiaza, the reigning Miss Grand International 2024. Yen Nhi did not make it into the top 10 in this voting round.
In the talent competition, Yen Nhi also failed to make it into the top 15. Meanwhile, some strong contestants from countries like Thailand, Ghana, and Laos all made it.
Next, in the Miss Popular Vote section (the winner automatically qualifies for the top 10), Yen Nhi proactively requested the organizers to delete her video soliciting votes due to the severe damage caused by storms and natural disasters in many areas of Northern and Central Vietnam. This is a paid voting section, running from October 7th until the final. Currently, the leading contestant in this section is from Colombia, while Yen Nhi only has 1% of the votes. The representative from host country Thailand continues to be in the top 10, showing a very high chance of achieving a high ranking in this year's competition.
As for Yen Nhi, setting aside the controversy surrounding her roommate's livestream remarks, she struggled with English communication. The beauty queen appeared flustered when answering seemingly simple questions from the competition's president, Mr. Nawat, and the reigning Miss CJ, Christine Juliane Opiaza. She later explained that she lacked mental preparation.
In the closed-door interview round, Yen Nhi answered the judges' English questions smoothly, with improved pronunciation. However, the content of her answers was considered simple and not very impressive. Meanwhile, in the same round, the answers from representatives from France, the Philippines, Indonesia, Spain, etc., were receiving much praise.
However, Yen Nhi still has a chance to make it into the top. In the Best Swimsuit category, Yen Nhi is currently in second place with 131,000 likes. Leading the pack is the representative from the Philippines, Emma Mary Tiglao, with 290,000 likes. The organizers will score the votes based on interaction on Miss Grand's Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Additionally, Yen Nhi was also in the top 20 of the Country's Power of the Year poll and officially advanced to the second round of voting, competing in the same group as representatives from the Philippines, Thailand, and Spain. The winner of Country's Power of the Year will have the opportunity to automatically advance to the top 20 in the final round.
