Fashion designer Huy
Vo, a judge on the show, noted that Trang had not been the clear winner in
previous shows.

“I was surprised by
her excellent performance on the final night,” said Vo. “She deserves the
prize.”

Trang, who stands
1.78m and measures 81-63.5-93.5, will sign a two year contract with CA Model
company worth US$50,000. She will receive a scholarship to take a model training
course at the Wilhelmina Models Company. She also won a diamond ring worth
VND200 million and a Piaggio LX125.

“I feel very happy
about the prizes,” Trang said. “This is my gift to my mother, who has supported
me during the past few months.”

During the past five
months, the programme aired every Thursday night. On the show, 18 Vietnamese
women, between the ages of 18 and 25, competed to become Viet Nam’s Next Top
Model.
