The Miss Petite Global pageant, established in 2020, celebrates women under 168cm, challenging beauty stereotypes and promoting education as a cornerstone of success. The 2024 winner, Ngan, from Vietnam, embodied these values and more. She expressed her surprise and pride in a Facebook post, sharing her journey to the crown and her dream-come-true moment representing her country on the international stage.
Ngan, who stood out in her self-introduction video with a unique blend of Vietnamese culture and modern flair, also placed in the top ten for national costumes and the top five for video introductions. Born in Hanoi in 1997, she is a true ambassador for Vietnam, with her graceful presence and poise. The first runner-up in the Miss Petite Vietnam 2023 pageant, Ngan’s hard work and dedication paid off on the global platform.
The grand finale, held in Malaysia on May 11, witnessed over 20 contestants from across the globe. The competition was fierce, with the first to fourth runner-up spots going to South Africa, Borneo, China, and Thailand, respectively. And the new Miss Petite Global 2024? Lara Melisa Gaffud from the Philippines, a true testament to the power of petite women worldwide.
