Vietnam’s representative, Nguyen Ngoc Lan Huong, was chosen as one of the top five beauties in the 2009 Miss World Model in China on November 26. 

In the final round, apart from being coming fourth, Lan Huong was awarded two more prizes, one for best evening dress and the other for being one of the press’s top ten.

The French contestant was crowned Miss World Model 2009 and the three others in the top 5 belonged to Turkey, the Ukraine and the Dominican Republic.

The success in the beauty contest has opened up more opportunities for Lan Huong as she has received a 3-5 year contract to work overseas.

All candidates taking part in the event will stay in China until November 30 and the top 10 will attend photo shoots.
