History

In 2019, Elite Vietnam owned by Thúy Nga, announced Miss Charm International as the first Vietnamese international beauty pageant. The first edition was scheduled to take place around 2019-2020, however, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the contest was postponed indefinitely. In 2023, the contest held its first edition.

In 2024, the contest was to be hosted in the United States, however, as many contestants were unable to obtain a US-visa, the contest was moved back to Vietnam.

As of 2025, the contest has been held twice, each with about 40 contestants from different countries and territories.

Crowns of Miss Charm

The official crown of Miss Charm was made by Mexican jewelry designer, Ricardo Patraca, at an estimated cost of US$150,000.The crown is inspired by the bay leaf which is a symbol of victory and glory. The crown stands out in white and red tones, set with more than 6,000 precious stones, symbolizing love, emotion, courage and passion. This crown is also handcrafted from Mexican silver and finished with rhodium. The leaf image on the crown symbolizes the elements of purity, simplicity, freshness and vitality.
