Daniela Nguyen Thu May, who finished third at Miss Supranational in Poland last August, was listed in the top 25 sexiest women alive 2011-12 last Friday by Global Beauties, a beauty pageant observer website.
The 25 sexiest women were shortlisted from more than 500 contestants at major pageant contests last year like Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss International, and Miss Supranational.
According to Global Beauties blog, originally 24 finalists made the cut, but one more was added this year due to the excellent level of beauties competing for the title of Sexiest Woman Alive 2011-12.
Born to a Vietnamese father and a Czechoslovakian mother, the 22-year-old Thu May, whose foreign name is Daniela Nguyen Nova from the Czech Republic, is the first Vietnamese beauty to enter the top 5 at an international beauty pageant.
She was crowned Miss Vietnam in Europe 2010 before attending Miss Vietnam World held in Nha Trang the same year and won the prize for the most beautiful face.
Currently a student of international business at the Prague University of Economics, May said she would consider working in Vietnam to learn more about the country after graduation.
