Hoang My has chosen ao tu than (four-panel traditional dress) and a red evening gown for the Miss Universe 2011 pageant.
The silk-made ao tu than, named “Tinh hoa Viet” (Vietnam quintessence), is decorated with patterns
featuring Vietnamese bronze drum, phoenix and the five basic elements (metal, wood, water,
fire and earth) and crystal pieces.
The ao tu than is matched with a non quai thao (flat palm hat with fringes).
The costume is designed by Thuan Viet.
