Th 30-year-old, who was invited by the president of the opulent Miss Universe Vietnam pageant, won the hearts of many in 2019 when she was crowned as the then reigning queen.
Despite her reign having come to an end close to five years ago, she has been described as a person who continues to make a strong impression on feminism and gender equality.
