Supermodel Huong Giang, Vietnam’s contestant at Miss World 2009 pageant, will compete for the “Miss Grand Slam” title on the prestigious international beauty website, Global Beauties.

This is an annual selection with 100 candidates for the title. They are the winners of pageants or contestants from the final rounds of the five largest international pageants, including: Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International and Miss Tourism Queen International.

Miss Grand Slam 2009 included names like Barbados’ Leah Marville (Sexiest Woman Alive 2009), Australia’s Rachel Finch – the third runner-up of Miss Universe 2009, Miss World 2009 Kaiane Aldorino and Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez. Last year this title was presented to Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza.

Previously, Vietnam’s Huong Giang was polled as in the top three for “Sexiest Woman Alive” and in the top ten for “Face of the Year.” She is the only Vietnamese candidate for Miss Grand Slam 2009, compared to three each from South Korea, the Philippines and India, as well as two from China.

Last year Vietnamese model Truong Tri Truc Diem entered the top 50 of Miss Grand Slam 2008.
