Miss Universe 2021 to arrive for beauty contest in Vietnam

This event will mark the second time that the Indian beauty has visited the nation to participate in a local beauty contest. Previously, she had been the guest of honour at the grand final of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 pageant.

The Miss Universe 2021 beauty will join alongside the organising board to attend side-line activities of Miss Cosmo 2024.

The contest is also expected to welcome Paula Shugart, former president of the Miss Universe Organization, who will also participate in the final night as a member of judging panel.

Sandhu, 24, was crowned as Miss Universe 2021 in Israel last year after beating approximately 70 contestants from other countries. She represents the third Indian representative to have won a top prize at the global pageant.

Meanwhile, Shugart participated in the grand finale of Miss Universe Vietnam 2017, which took place in January, 2018. She witnessed H’Hen Nie ultimately win the crown, with the Ede ethnic girl later going on to make history when she finished among the Top 5 of Miss Universe 2018.
