The national costume competition at Miss Universe 2024 is a colorful visual feast, where each contestant brings a unique story about their country. This year's designs are especially impressive with a variety of themes, from nature, culture to history.

In particular, the representative of Vietnam - Ky Duyen - brought a passionate Ngoc Diep Ky Nam costume. The design was created by Dang Tran Tri, with professional advice from Nguyen Minh Cong, inspired by the Nguyen Dynasty Butterfly Parasol - a precious artifact of the ancient royal court. The costume not only honors the sophisticated techniques of Vietnamese artisans but also tells the story of the strong transformation of national culture in the new era.
