The "Top 100 Most Beautiful Faces in the World " ranking announced by TC Candler every year is always a beauty playground that attracts the attention of the global entertainment industry.

In 2014, Truong Tri Truc Diem unexpectedly appeared at position 67 in the prestigious ranking. This was the first time a Vietnamese beauty appeared in this ranking, making the media and audiences of the country proud.

At that time, Truc Diem was also praised by the international press for her Asian beauty with a slim nose, gentle eyes and attractive mouth. Her beauty was recognized in many international arenas.

Her beauty is so highly regarded that even Getty Images - famous for its "flaw-revealing" photos - cannot "drown" it.

Truc Diem used to be a famous name in Vietnamese showbiz.

Truong Tri Truc Diem was born in 1987 and won the first runner-up title of Miss Vietnam Photogenic in 2005. She then represented Vietnam in Miss Earth 2007 and won the " Fashion Beauty" award. In the 2000s, Truong Tri Truc Diem was a sought-after model, appearing in many magazines and was once called the "advertising queen".

In 2011, the beauty entered the top 15 of Miss International. Truong Tri Truc Diem is also considered a highly educated beauty. She graduated with a degree in business administration in Singapore, is fluent in English, Korean, and can communicate in Chinese.

Not only in the field of beauty, Truc Diem is also successful in pursuing the path of acting. Her first film is Snow White's Diary (2010). Two years later, she appeared in Passion (2012) - a film shown at many film festivals at home and abroad.

The biggest mark in Truc Diem's film career is her role in the movie Stiletto Conspiracy (2013) directed by Ham Tran. The film not only made a splash in Vietnam but was also released in the US, Australia and several other markets. That same year, she was chosen to represent Vietnamese actors at the Cannes Film Festival, helping to further her fame.

While her career was on the rise, Truc Diem got married and began to step back from the stage in 2015. In June 2021, she moved to the US to settle down with her husband. However, just 6 months after moving to the US, she suddenly confirmed her divorce from her husband.

The beauty shared that the reason was due to irreconcilable differences, but the two still maintain a civilized friendship. “Even though we no longer look in the same direction, we will still wish each other the best,” she said.

In the US, she continued her artistic activities as a model and actress. The beauty once revealed that she was depressed because of her failed business when she moved to the US to start a career. When she went abroad, she was "empty-handed", lost all her money and had to sell branded goods to make ends meet. She knew she was just a zero so she always kept a humble and open-minded attitude.

Due to late detection, Truc Diem's hyperthyroidism was quite severe, with bulging pupils, sometimes blurred vision, trembling hands and feet, a lack of strength in the body, inability to move much, loss of concentration, forgetfulness, and unwarranted stress...

After 2 years of treatment, she regained her form and continued to work with passion. At the age of 38, Truc Diem is building a stable life in the US, developing her fashion and performing arts career.

The beauty still chooses to stay single because love is no longer her priority at the moment. The beauty born in 1987 believes that marriage is not for everyone, don't accept an unsuitable relationship because of loneliness.

Truc Diem regained her radiance after suffering from hyperthyroidism.

Looking back at the ups and downs of life, Truc Diem is happy to have overcome everything. She once confided on her personal page: "Being far from home and living independently in a foreign land has given me the maturity to face myself, and also helped me appreciate many things in life. Now I no longer feel guilty about that difficult time.

I believe I don't need to be perfect to receive love from the audience. I need to be stronger and more sincere because life is long and each chapter of my life is an opportunity to create and master it better."
