Beauty Standards in Vietnam

What was considered beautiful in Vietnam decades ago, and how different is it from what people admire today?

In this video, I’m looking at how Vietnamese beauty standards have changed over time. Traditional ideas of femininity have gradually mixed with modern fashion, beauty trends, social media, and influences coming from both inside and outside Vietnam.

Some ideals have disappeared, some have evolved, and others have surprisingly stayed with us.

It’s interesting to see how something as personal as beauty can also reflect a country’s changing culture, generations, and way of life. So let’s compare the past with the present and see how the idea of beauty in Vietnam has transformed.
