During the national costume competition on May 14, 2021, she impressed the audiences by wearing "Kén Em", a Cocoon costume inspired by the image of the silkworm cocoon used in silk weaving. [17] "Kén Em" was 100 percent made using a meticulous hand-knitting technique, which also symbolizes the virtuous and patient spirit of the Vietnamese people. It was one of the six favorite national costumes chosen by Catriona Gray, the former Miss Universe 2018. [18]
After the preliminary competition and a closed-door interview, she managed to enter top 21 semifinalist and received the highest number of fan votes in the history of Miss Universe. [3]
