In Vietnam, Ao Dais are worn on various occasions, not just traditional ones. Young
women often use it as school uniform and usually wear it every Monday. In beauty contests the
Ao Dai makes them look even more
feminine and beautiful. In contrast to the graceful beauty of the young women,
the confidence and dignity of the young men also impressed the judges.
Candidates won the judge’s hearts
because of their beauty and talents, by their singing, dancing and versatility.
The audience loved their dynamism gave the contests huge rounds of applause.

skills necessary for our future careers, such as public speaking and is really
interesting and useful.”
