MISS COSMO 2024 OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE THE NEXT JUDGE: MS. KIM DUYEN – 2ND RUNNER-UP OF MISS SUPRANATIONAL 2022

Following the announcement of Paula Shugart, former President of Miss Universe, and Mr. Pham Quang Vinh, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Vietnam and former Vietnamese Ambassador to the United States, joining this year’s Miss Cosmo judging panel, the next name to be revealed is Kim Duyen. With her extensive experience as a judge at international beauty pageants, the 2nd Runner-Up of Miss Supranational 2022 is anticipated to play a pivotal role in selecting the deserving winner of this year’s prestigious Miss Cosmo crown.

Miss Cosmo 2024 is currently a hot topic among audiences and beauty pageant enthusiasts both domestically and internationally. With less than a week remaining until the competition officially begins, every detail of the event is eagerly awaited.

Recently, Miss Cosmo 2024 has officially announced the appointment of Kim Duyen as a judge for this year’s competition. With her extensive experience and accomplishments to date, Kim Duyen is a prominent figure who has made a significant impact both in Vietnam and internationally.

Kim Duyen has notably represented Vietnam in two major international beauty pageants with remarkable success: Top 16 of Miss Universe 2021 and the 2nd Runner-Up of Miss Supranational 2022. Her achievements make Kim Duyen a record-holder for Vietnam’s sash at Miss Supranational. Kim Duyen has also been a supportive figure for many Vietnamese beauties at international competitions, most recently for Lydie Vu at Miss Supranational 2024.

In addition to her experience in international pageants, Kim Duyen has received numerous positive reviews for her role as a judge in beauty competitions. She is the first Vietnamese beauty queen with an international title to serve as a judge for two prestigious pageants: Miss Supranational and Mister Supranational 2024. 

Looking back at her journey, Kim Duyen has faced many ups and downs, but she has gradually overcome them. For her, the greatest asset is not the title or ranking positions, but rather the recognition from a large number of beauty fans regarding her continuous self-improvement. She asserts that the value of a title, a crown, or any designation is not in the external glamour but in the ability of the titleholder to contribute and make a positive impact on the audience and society. Kim Duyen has consistently been involved in charity projects, spreading goodness and inspiration to the community. For instance, she donated 100% of her prize from Miss Supranational 2022 to the ‘Spreading Love’ Scholarship Fund, which she established, with the hope of supporting many underprivileged girls in the Mekong Delta to continue their education and pursue their dreams.

Along with her career achievements and dedication to self-improvement, has positioned her as a strong and esteemed judge, marking her as the second and final Vietnamese judge at Miss Cosmo this year.

Kim Duyen expressed her profound honor at being invited to serve as a judge for Miss Cosmo 2024. This invitation marks a significant and proud advancement in her career. Additionally, Kim Duyen has showcased her dedication to personal growth and her ability to inspire her fans positively.

Regarding her new role, Kim Duyen shared: “I am delighted and thrilled to take on the role of a judge at Miss Cosmo this year. I eagerly anticipate experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of the competition as international beauties arrive in Vietnam in the days ahead. For me, Miss Cosmo represents not just a pageant, but a prestigious opportunity to showcase and celebrate Vietnamese culture and beauty on the global stage.

About Xuan Hanh, I feel no pressure. I will observe her journey at Miss Cosmo with impartiality and fairness. Hanh has had ample time to prepare, and this is her moment to shine through her own merits. The significance of her position at Miss Cosmo is one aspect, but what truly matters is the place she holds in the hearts of the audience after the competition”.

Despite being its inaugural year, Miss Cosmo 2024 has been recognized as a highly professional competition with meticulous organization, attracting a diverse array of high-caliber contestants, all of whom are reigning queens, runners-up, or notable beauties from various countries. Many of these participants bring with them experience from other major pageants, enhancing the competition’s appeal and elevating the profile of the Vietnamese beauty industry on the global stage.

Currently, Miss Cosmo is entering the first phase of its journey to find the most deserving candidate for this year’s prestigious crown. With an exciting schedule spanning several major cities across Vietnam, this competition is not merely a beauty pageant but also a celebration of Vietnamese culture, nature, cuisine, and people for an international audience.
