The outfit chosen by the representative of Vietnam to show on this night not only made it difficult for her to move, showing off her professional performance, but also received many opinions that the gong design bulky but nothing special.
This morning according to Vietnam time, the national costume contest of the “Miss Universe 2021” contest was officially held in Florida, USA. This is one of the important contests and the result will be decided by the audience through the online voting application of the Organizing Committee.

According to the arrangement of the Organizing Committee, beauty Khanh Van – the representative of Vietnamese beauty in this international beauty arena appeared last on the stage. Before that, she and 73 other contestants completed a closed interview with the jury. To prepare for the national costume contest, Khanh Van did not rest but immediately went backstage to assemble her costume. It is known that she encountered some minor problems when assembling this costume, but promptly fixed it with the support via video calls from the team and designer Khoa Lo. The design of “Ken em” by designer Khoa Lo About the costume called “Ken em”, this is the design of the author Khoa Lo who won the national costume selection contest for Khanh Van for the “Miss Universe 2021” contest held this year. 2020. This design has surpassed hundreds of other competing works to be selected as the official costume model brought by the Vietnamese representative to “Miss Universe 2021”. Accordingly, “Ken em” is highly appreciated for its criteria of honoring the traditional values ​​of the ao dai and silk weaving of Vietnam and promises to bring about performance effects on the stage. Designer Khoa Lo even believes himself to be one of the first young designers to pioneer the innovation of Ao Dai based on the use of new materials, namely ao dai made of yarn, and at the same time self-confident. believes that his design will win at “Miss Universe”. The time when Khoa Lo’s design was chosen, there was a controversy about “plagiarizing” the idea from the winning traditional costume at the “Miss Universe Myanmar” contest, but many opinions pointed out the difference. between the two designs. However, from idea to reality, “Ken em” doesn’t seem to fly as many people expect. As soon as she stepped from the backstage to the stage on the night of the competition, Khanh Van had to fumble step by step in a cocoon designed to circle around on all four sides, leaving only her legs and 4 portable iron legs of the cocoon. . Only when she reached the middle of the stage, did Khanh Van slowly open the cocoon inside, but she also encountered a little problem when opening this cocoon. Khanh Van fumbles on the stage of the national costume contest of Miss Universe 2021 Perhaps also because she had to memorize too many operations for this bulky cocoon, Khanh Van’s performance on stage was only very short, not enough for her to show off her professional catwalk skills and shine with God. most confident. In fact, Khanh Van only had more than 1 minute to perform on stage, but it took nearly 30 seconds to move and manipulate in the cocoon. Therefore, the real catwalk of the Vietnamese representative took place very quickly, before she could impress or comfortably pose, she had to return to the cocoon to drag this bulky design inside. Not to mention the design of the cocoon looks quite rough with 4 iron legs sticking out, the ao dai and the dress that Khanh Van, although intricately attached, is also commented as monotonous, nothing. unique, looks like a bridal gown. Moreover, the white color from head to toe makes the outfit even more blurred, not enough to help Khanh Van shine on stage. Khanh Van revealed, before entering this contest, she needed up to 1 hour to assemble and complete “Ken em”. Not to mention, before wearing “Ken em” to take pictures with the team, the Vietnamese representative constantly had to use strength to lift the cocoon so that it wouldn’t float down and lose its shape. While this design set weighs up to 30kg, making her unable to hide her fatigue. A behind-the-scenes clip captures her bleeding while taking pictures with this outfit due to being pierced by attached crystals. Talking about the problem of opening the cocoon when performing at the competition night, Khanh Van shared that her hands had to strain to hold the cocoon because it was too heavy, when she manipulated it to release the cocoon, she jerked in the wrong place, so she was a bit confused and lost However, she made every effort to quickly handle this incident so that she could continue her performance. The history of “Miss Universe” contests in particular and major international beauty arenas in general shows that contestants won the national costume contest because the costume had a unique design idea. , impressive vibrant colors and effective support for contestants in performing on stage. Considering all three of these factors, it seems that “Ken em” can hardly bring Khanh Van a positive result.
