Vietnam Wins Best in Swimsuit in Miss Earth

Host country takes the highly-coveted Best in Swimsuit award.

Hometown girl Luu Thii Diem Huong, otherwise known as Miss Vietnam, bested all the other delegates of the ongoing Miss Earth 2010 pageant to bag the Best in Swimsuit award. She won a cash prize of US$ 5,000.00 and jewelry from PNJ. This also sealed Vietnam (in my opinion) as one of the front-runners to win the 10th Miss Earth crown.

Joining Miss Vietnam in the Top 5 of the swimsuit competition are:Mariangela Bonanni of Venezuela, Jennifer Pazmino of Ecuador, Iman Kerigo of Norway and Carmen Justova of Czech Republic.

Here are the winners of Best in Swimsuit in Miss Earth since 2001:
