Miss Brazil Gabriela Markus leads the list and is followed by Miss China Ji Dan Xu, Panama, USA, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Curacao, Bolivia and Mexico.

“This is the most elegant ao dai ever seen at Miss Universe with rich colors and nice blending of hues. This is a northern ao dai with the southern one featuring a conical hat,” the site comments about Huong and her participating costume.

The dress made from natural silk and decorated with brocade patterns is designed by Thuan Viet.
