Miss Universe Vietnam 2009 (new Pics Page 7)

Hot & Beauty

Regulation passed by the Ministry of Culture forced organizers to handpick last year's 1st runner-up.

Vo Hoang Yen (photo), a 21-year old model and student from Ho Chi Minh City -who stands 1.79 m in height- has been elected by the Hoan Vu Company to represent Vietnam at the Miss Universe 2009 pageant to take place in the Bahamas on August 23rd.

A controversy made headlines when the Ministry of Culture passed a regulation that allowed only one major pageant a year in Vietnam. This year, the license was given to the Mrs. Vietnam contest.

Pageant officials tried to appeal this decision, stating that Mrs. contests could not be compared with Miss contests, but no agreement was reached.

The Hoan Vu company, which organized the 2008 Miss Universe contest in Nha Trang, picked Hoang Yen, who had been the 1st runner-up in last year's Hoa Hau Hoan Vu Vietnam pageant. VNExpress

[Guest ginga]

[Guest je_amourx]

Her real life picture looks sooo much better than the heavy makeup/photoshopped pictures. Shes wayyy tall!

[Guest kchan21]

I really hate her blue contact lenses. She's looks way better with her natural brown eyes.

[Guest chorus]

In real life she looks more even beautiful than the other pictures. They picked the right one. I like her dresses and her pose is great, the one that she's wearing a loose blouse.

I like her and she looks better in the real life photo... I don't like her with the blue contact lense and light hair... makes her look like she mix or something... just be original ASIAN.

[Guest clouds4ME]

[Guest j.a*star]

[Guest Swtess]

She looks a whole lot better natural than being all dolled up like that

[Guest MeiHearts]

oh my goshhhh sh'es soooooooooo pretty

i like her contacts

[Guest Chii-Chan]

long skinny legs, big feet.

Her face was the first thing I noticed... then her big feet.. lol.

It just looked unproportional compared to the rest of her body.

hahaha, weird thing to notice eh?

[Guest dolcedor.]

Her real-life photo looks so much better than the photoshopped-to-hell ones.

[Michelleys]

She looks better in the real life picture.

She's pretty tho.

[Guest Inverted]

Pretty, but the lenses need to go.

[Guest edmame]

wowzers, she's beautiful.

some of her poses remind me of lin chi ling.

or are they standard leggy model poses

[Guest COOKIE.BANDIT.]

she is so pretty! She looks much better than last year's Miss Vietnam candidate

i love the contacts she's wearing in the white dress shirt photo...suits her well. but these other contacts look eerie
