Phung Thi Thanh Hang (Vinh Phuc) was named first runner-up, while Nguyen Tuong Vy (Hanoi) was awarded second runner-up.
In the Q&A round, My Linh was asked: "What is your perception of the beauty of Vietnam's seas and islands?"

She answered, "To me, the seas and islands of my homeland are where the sky meets the sea - where our nation stretches into the vast ocean. The blue waters, white sands, and golden sunshine form a romantic landscape that attracts both domestic and international tourists, generating significant revenue."

She emphasized the healing essence of the sea, its rich natural resources, and highlighted that Hoang Sa and Truong Sa are sacred, inseparable parts of Vietnam.

“After participating in Miss Vietnam Sea and Islands 2025, I want to use my voice and actions to spread love for our seas and islands and to protect the marine environment. In Thanh Hoa, I plan to establish a youth club to lead campaigns to safeguard Sam Son Beach,” she said.
Sharing her plans after winning the crown, My Linh expressed her intention to balance her studies with her new responsibilities: “I want to be a knowledgeable beauty queen, committed to community projects, especially those related to the marine environment. If any schedules conflict with my classes, I’ll opt for online learning or seek extra help from teachers and friends.”
Born in 2005, My Linh impressed judges with her striking features, performance skills, and intelligence. She stands 1.7m tall, with measurements of 80-65-96cm, and is currently studying Tourism at the Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Prior to this achievement, she won the title of Miss Elegant Student 2024.
Head judge, People's Artist Lan Huong, commented: “This year’s contestants were incredibly well-rounded, not only in beauty but also in intellect, confidence, and preparation. Around 90% of the participants are currently attending universities or colleges, signaling a positive shift in modern beauty pageants where elegance goes hand in hand with intellect and integrity.”
