Speaking at the launch event, Mrs. Nguyen Thanh Phuong Dai shared: “Miss Cosmo Ho Chi Minh City 2026 is not merely about finding a beautiful face, but about seeking a well-rounded symbol of the modern woman—one who possesses intelligence, courage, and a spirit of dedication. We aim to create a prestigious platform where women can affirm their true values, embrace confidence, and dare to dream big.” With years of experience in event organization and business management, Nguyen Thanh Phuong Dai stands out for her creative vision and professional direction. Her acquisition of the Miss Cosmo Ho Chi Minh City license marks an important step toward integrating humanistic values into the entertainment industry—where beauty is celebrated in its truest form, harmonizing intellect, talent, and soul.

 

Miss Cosmo Ho Chi Minh City 2026 is organized under the theme “The New Iconic,” carrying a message that celebrates the image of the new-generation woman—dynamic, strong-willed, and confident in pursuing her passions. According to Nguyen Thanh Phuong Dai, this theme not only reflects the organizers’ vision but also affirms a new standard of beauty: women are truly beautiful when they dare to be authentic and spread positive energy. “Beauty does not lie in fixed molds or conventional standards. We want Miss Cosmo to be a place where women can shine through their intellect, compassion, and aspirations,” she added.

 

Alongside Nguyen Thanh Phuong Dai, the competition also features the participation of Huynh Tien—Top 10 finalist and Miss Talent at Miss Cosmo Vietnam 2025—in the role of Vice President. Serving as Head of the Organizing Committee is Mr. Vu Thai, Founder and CEO of Crystal Star Entertainment, who is responsible for directing and coordinating all activities of the inaugural season. The organizing team brings together experienced professionals in the entertainment industry, promising a well-structured and high-quality competition.

Notably, the Miss Cosmo Ho Chi Minh City 2026 judging panel has drawn attention for its lineup of influential figures: Ly Nha Ky—Honorary Consul of Romania, businesswoman, and actress—serves as Head Judge; joined by Miss Le Au Ngan Anh, Miss Universe Vietnam 2025 Phuong Linh, Miss Nguyen Dinh Nhu Van, and businesswoman Nguyen Le Lam Ngan, CEO of Pasteur Dental Clinic.

 

According to the plan, Miss Cosmo Ho Chi Minh City 2026 will open applications from November 2, 2025, until January 2026. The preliminary round will take place in Ho Chi Minh City on January 11, 2026, and the grand finale is scheduled for March 14, 2026. Eligible contestants include Vietnamese citizens or overseas Vietnamese women aged 18 to 33, with good moral character, at least a high school education, and a minimum height of 1.65m. The competition embraces diversity by allowing contestants who have undergone cosmetic enhancement—a new, progressive move that reflects openness and respect for individuality.

 

Miss Cosmo Ho Chi Minh City 2026 also aims to promote positive life values through community projects, charitable activities, and skill development programs for contestants. Under the leadership of Chairwoman Nguyen Thanh Phuong Dai, the competition is expected to help shape the image of modern Vietnamese women—confident, courageous, ambitious, and radiant.
