Hoàng Thị Thùy (born 15 March 1992) is a Vietnamese fashion model. She is best known for winning cycle 2 of Vietnam's Next Top Model.[2]

Background and Education

Thùy was born and raised in the commune of Thiền Lâm, Tĩnh Gia District, Thanh Hóa Province of Vietnam to a poor family of four daughters.[3] When she was young, she used to sell rice cakes on coach buses to assist her family. Despite financial struggles, her family continued to support their daughters to continue their education.[4] Thùy graduated from Tĩnh Gia 1 High School in 2010.[5] She was a sophomore majoring in Industrial Design at Hanoi Architectural University before participating in the second season of Vietnam's Next Top Model and pursuing modelling afterwards.[6] In 2016, she started enrolling in fashion design courses at Central Saint Martins in London.[7]

Career

Vietnam's Next Top Model

In 2011, Thùy joined Vietnam's Next Top Model cycle 2. Throughout the cycle, Thùy performed consistently well and only landed in the bottom two once. In the season finale, Thùy was announced to be the winner over the runner-ups Trà My and Lê T. Thúy.[2] In 2015, it was revealed that Tyra Banks, creator of the Top Model franchise and also the special judge of the season 2 finale, fought for Thùy to become the winner of that cycle.[8]

Post show career

She joined Top Model of the World 2012 in Berlin, Germany where she placed in the Top 15 and also won the Best Catwalk Award.[3] Thùy started working both domestically and internationally as soon as she left Vietnam's Next Top Model. She has walked the runways of New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and Vietnam International Fashion Week.[9][10] In 2016, she landed a fashion spread on Elle UK, becoming the first Vietnamese model to do so.[10] In 2017, she became a coach in the second season of The Face Vietnam.[11]

Miss Universe Vietnam 2017

Shortly after season two of The Face Vietnam ended, it was revealed that Thùy had signed up to join Miss Universe Vietnam 2017. She was a favorite throughout the competition. Ultimately, Thùy was named as the 1st Runner Up and received the People's Choice Award.[12] The top three of the competition were all Vietnam's Next Top Model alumnae with the winner H'Hen Niê partitipating in cycle 6 (finishing 8th), Thùy winning cycle 2 and Mâu T. Thanh Thủy winning cycle 4.[12] Due to the biennial hosting of Miss Universe Vietnam, the next edition would be held in 2019. Thus, Hoàng Thùy has a chance to represent Vietnam at Miss Universe 2019 if the pageant is held sooner than the country's selection that year.[13]
