On the evening of November 20, the event took place in the coastal city of Phan Thiet. Contestants from around the world showcased intricate and imaginative outfits, each representing their nation’s cultural essence.

Vietnam's representative, Pham Tuan Ngoc, donned the "Thach Long Hoa Khac" (Carved Dragon) design by fashion designer Ngo Hai Dang. Inspired by the exquisite stone carving craft of Vietnam, the costume depicted a majestic dragon, symbolizing the strength and resilience of Vietnamese heritage. Walking confidently in the 25-kilogram outfit, Tuan Ngoc ended his performance with a dazzling fireworks display.

Following his standout performance, Tuan Ngoc’s costume was named among the top 20 designs of the evening. However, backstage, the strain of carrying the large costume caused him to collapse and require assistance from his team to remove it.

The evening showcased a dynamic array of designs from contestants across continents, wowing the audience with their creativity.

Representatives from Brazil, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Guadeloupe brought free-spirited designs but lacked the intricacy of other competitors. The UK and Finland stood out with simple yet elegant suits, exuding masculine charm. Ireland's Glenn Williamson appeared as a wild and powerful demigod from local legend, while African contestants celebrated indigenous heroes with culturally rich designs.

The National Costume segment marked a vibrant prelude to the Mr. World 2024 finale, set to take place on November 23, hosted by Miss World 2013 Megan Young and Miss Vietnam Luong Thuy Linh.
