HÀ NỘI The Vietnamese representative in Miss Petite Global 2024, Lê Trang Ngân, has taken home the Miss Petite Global Asia 2024 title.

Established in 2020, the beauty pageant is dedicated to women under 168cm tall and is aimed at encouraging women globally to break the stereotypes about beauty and to promote values of education in building a successful environment through creativity and innovation.

Ngân said she felt surprised, happy and proud to win the title, after all the hard work and effort she put into preparing for the competition.

“I still feel as nervous as I was yesterday," Ngân wrote on her Facebook page.  "I know I still have many shortcomings, so when representing Việt Nam in the international competition, it was like a dream come true for me. Receiving the title of Miss Petite Global Asia 2024 is something I never thought would happen."

In addition to the title of Miss Petite Global Asia 2024, the Vietnamese representative was also in the top ten for national costumes and the top five for the best self-introduction videos.

Ngân was born in Hà Nội in 1997 and weighs 40.5 kg and has body measurements of 74-57-86cm. She was first runner up at the Miss Petite Vietnam 2023 pageant

In her self-introduction video for the contest, Ngân made a strong impression by wearing a white áo dài (Vietnamese traditional dress) while riding a motorbike along Hà Nội’s streets and speaking both Vietnamese and English. Famous landmarks and Vietnamese signature foods were cut into the video to introduce the country to an international audience.
