The current Miss Cosmo Vietnam is Bùi Thị Xuân Hạnh from Ninh Bình crown on December 31, 2023, in Đà Lạt.
In 2008, Công ty Cổ phần Hoàn vũ Nha Trang was granted the national license from the Miss Universe Organization to host the Miss Universe Vietnam competition under the Vietnamese name Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam.
The first edition of Miss Universe Vietnam was held at the Vinpearl Land resort in Nha Trang on May 31, 2008. It was the first official Miss Universe Vietnam contest.[3] The contest took place at Diamond Bay, Nha Trang, with 20 contestants participating. The final included four competitions: evening gown, swimsuit, áo dài, and interview. The winner, Nguyễn Thùy Lâm, was host delegate for the Miss Universe 2008 pageant held July 14, 2008, also in Nha Trang.[4][5]
After a 7-year hiatus, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 competition was held on October 3, 2015, at Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang, Vietnam, under the leadership of Công ty Cổ phần Hoàn vũ Sài Gòn (Unicorp).[6] With the reboot, the winner of Miss Universe Vietnam will be crowned as the next year's Miss Universe Vietnam while one of the two Runners-up could be appointed as the following year's one if the pageant is not allowed to be held in time. Therefore, there have been two types of Miss Universe Vietnam since 2017. The crowned Miss Universe Vietnam will represent Vietnam at Miss Universe on even years while the appointed/granted Miss Universe Vietnam will represent the country on odd years.
From 2017, the pageant was accompanied by a reality television series called I Am Miss Universe Vietnam, in which contestants are put through different challenges and training programs in each weekly episode.[7][8][9]
In 2023, the Miss Universe franchise in Vietnam was officially granted to a new national license holder.[10] However, Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam was still continued to be held as a standalone pageant under the new title - Miss Cosmo Vietnam, separated from the new Miss Universe Vietnam competition.[11] Due to the separation, the winner of Hoa hậu Hoàn vũ Việt Nam would no longer be Miss Universe Vietnam and on August 1, it was announced that the pageant would be rebranded to Miss Cosmo Vietnam and the accompanied reality television series was also rebranded to I Am Miss Cosmo Vietnam.[12][13]
Further changes about the rebrand was late announced during the press release for the 2023 edition held on August 7, 2023 such as the discontinuation of the "Second Runner Up" title, the decision to no longer sending delegates to Miss Charm and the viewers would have the power to judge the contestants' performances throughout the final.[14]
On August 12, 2023, Unicorp announced that they have established a new international pageant, namely Miss Cosmo, and the winner of Miss Cosmo Vietnam would become Vietnam's representative in this pageant.[15]
