Criticism

Throughout the airing process, the show has been criticized for overtly unrealistic moments and catfights between contestants and for judges' a little bit emphasis on Khiếu Thị Huyền Trang, who was crowned the winner and also the tallest contestant.
The first runner-up, Tuyết Lan, and some contestants notably Đàm Thu Trang, Hoàng Oanh, Bảo Trân, Bích Trâm were discovered to serve as professional editorial models or catwalk models in the modelling industry prior to the show produced. Executive producers, however, did not disqualify them nor give any official statements, meanwhile they disqualified Miss Beach Vietnam 2008 Lâm Thu Hằng during casting weeks.

About the jury, after two episodes aired, the whole judging panel were replaced without clear explanations which made TV viewers much confused about what was going on. Then two judging panels commented via interviews about the cast. The latter jury complaint that they didn't have the chance to pick contestants, resulting in the weak set of cast members. In contrast, the former jury reported producers didn't allow them to choose who they would like to make the cut, so they got upset and decided to leave the show for unprofessional production. To the producers, they announced to stop working with the former jury because Nathan Lee and Elizabeth competed against each other for the host position and because there were so many conflicts between judges and producers, etc.

Many vietnamese fashionistas showed the disappointment at the show. They confessed not to be completely inspired by any judging panels because both are not notable in vietnamese fashion industry. Judging panels also have been criticized for few members. Guest stars or guest judges appearing seldom caused bore. Notably, Huy Võ became a judge while still studying at Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising
