Phan Thiết, Vietnam – May 11 – Amid thunderous applause and emotional cheers, Hà Tâm Như was crowned Miss Transgender Vietnam 2025, becoming the country’s newest representative for Miss International Queen 2025, the world’s most prestigious transgender beauty pageant.
Standing tall at 1.8 meters, Hà Tâm Như captivated the judges and audience alike with her graceful presence, feminine charm, and radiant smile. A professional fitness trainer, she was praised not only for her striking physique but also for her strength, resilience, and authenticity.
As the competition progressed, Hà Tâm Như emerged as a clear standout. In the semifinals, she wowed with her confident stage presence and elegance in evening wear. During the bikini and gown segments of the grand finale, her fluid runway walk and voluminous hair drew admiration from both the judges and spectators.
A Message That Moved the Nation
In the final Q&A segment, the Top 3 contestants were asked: “In a diverse society, is being different a weakness or a strength?” Responding last, Hà Tâm Như delivered a heartfelt answer that brought the crowd to its feet:
“In today’s world, being different is a strength. As a transgender woman, I don’t see my identity as something that sets me apart—I see it as something that makes me stand out. Inside, I have determination; outside, I strive for perfection. When people look at me, I want them to see someone who grows every day—not just through work, but through the pursuit of knowledge.”
Her answer resonated deeply, highlighting her journey of self-acceptance and personal transformation.
From Adversity to Empowerment
Hà Tâm Như revealed that her early steps toward living authentically were met with family rejection, social alienation, and public discrimination. She worked for years as a fitness trainer to save money in secret for her gender confirmation surgery in Thailand, overcoming personal and societal obstacles along the way.
Dubbed the “shining gem” of the competition, she demonstrated exceptional growth throughout the contest, especially as a member of Team Le Hoang Phuong, earning praise from reigning beauty queens.
Strong Contenders, Star-Studded Finale
The first and second runner-up titles went to Nguyễn Cao Minh Anh and Nguyễn Thủy Tiên, respectively—both lauded for their beauty and poise. The Top 3 were celebrated for their equally dazzling looks and powerful stories.
Held in Phan Thiết, the grand finale featured performances from top artists Mỹ Linh, Đông Nhi, and Hương Giang. Supermodels Hà Anh and Minh Tú served as judges, while the charismatic duo Thanh Thanh Huyền and Phan Trung Hậu hosted the event.
As Vietnam’s official delegate to Miss International Queen 2025, Hà Tâm Như now carries the hopes of the nation’s LGBTQ+ community on the global stage.
