Her native Vietnamese colleague, Duong Thi My Linh was placed in the Top Ten.

Another native Vietnamese, Le Hoang Bao Ngoc, who had no sponsor, was in the Top Five.

This is the first time that Vietnam has had all three contestants in the Top Ten at Miss Vietnam Global.

Both Giang and Linh will spend a few days sightseeing in the U.S before returning to Vietnam on June 17.
