Vietnamese beauties Daniela Nguyen Thu May, Truong Tri Truc Diem and Le Huynh Thuy Ngan made it to the top 100 ranking, which Globalbeauties chose from thousands of contestants who competed at 6 biggest international beauty pageants in 2011.

Those are Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Earth, Miss International Tourism and Miss Supranational.

Daniela Nguyen Thu May who came forth at Miss Supranational is ranked at 58th, while Truc Diem, who finished in Top 15 of Miss International, is placed at No. 79.

Thuy Ngan, who made it to the top 20 of Miss International Tourism recently held in China, comes last at No. 98.

According to the ranking, five winners of the world’s 6 premiere international beauty pageants have all made it to the top 20, while only Kantapat Peeradachainarin, Miss International Tourism 2011, is ousted from the list.

Of the top 20 beauties, seven come from Europe and America each, four from Asia, one from Africa and one from Australia.

This year’s ranking comes as a disappointment to local observers as Vietnam made a much more impressive showing in previous years.

In 2010, Luu Thi Diem Duong, Miss World Vietnam 2010, was placed at No. 17 in the top 20 and Huong Giang, who made it to Top 16 Miss World 2009, was crowned Miss Asian Grand Slam the same year.
