Vy was one of the youngest contestants at the 16th edition of Vietnam's largest beauty pageant and will represent Vietnam at the Miss World contest later this year.
When asked what she would say to young people if she could travel 100 years into the future, the 1m74 tall beauty said "You should believe in your dreams and increase your knowledge in order to succeed. Your success could help people around you and make society better."
Vy just graduated from high school a few months ago and is now a first-year student at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education.
As the winner of Miss Vietnam 2018, Vy will receive a cash prize of VND500 million (US$21,500).
The runners-up were 20-year-old Bui Phuong Nga from Ha Tinh province, currently a student at the National Economics University in Hanoi, and 21-year-old Nguyen Thi Thuy An from the southern province of Kien Giang, who is a student at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology.
Nga and An will represent Vietnam at the Miss Grand International and Miss International contests respectively.
In addition to the three top prizes, the organisers presented other awards such as Miss Ao Dai, Miss Beautiful Face, Miss Tourism, Miss Sports, Miss Talent and Miss Beach.
