Mrs Vietnam finishes in world top five

02/07/2008 -- 11:01 AM

Hanoi (VNA) – Mrs Vietnam Nguyen Dieu Hoa was among the top five of the Mrs World beauty pageant held in Kaliningrad, Russia, on June 29.

An extension of the Mrs America pageant, this televised pageant represents married women around the world, who are urged to voice their opinions about marriage and current events.

Ukrainian Natalya Shmarennova betrothed 30 other beauties to win the Mrs World 2008 title.

Hoa, who was crowned Miss Vietnam in 1990, conquered the jury with her charming beauty in the traditional long dress and her fluent Russian.

The 39-year-old mother of three, the second oldest contestant in the pageant, said she felt very honoured to represent Vietnam at the contest and that she had done her best to finish in the top five.

Also in the top five were Mrs Ukraine, Belarus, Peru and Singapore.

Nguyen Thi Kim Hong was the first Vietnamese competitor for Mrs World, in 2005, and she was awarded the title of Most Favourite. Mrs USA Diane Tucker was crowned Mrs World in 2007.
