| From Drama School Darlings to District Councillors—Meet the First Batch of Miss HK 2025 Hopefuls (Facebook/TVB) |
It’s that time of year again—sparkles, stilettos, and starry-eyed dreams—as TVB officially kicked off the Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2025 (香港小姐競選2025) with its first round of recruitment interviews on Tuesday, 24 June.
As expected, crowds gathered at TVB City in Tseung Kwan O, all hoping to take their first step toward the crown—and possibly a future in entertainment.
The early interview stage is notoriously competitive, where participants are screened for everything from background and education to social media presence. Though the weather was hot, the fashion was even hotter—most ladies turned up in casual fits or sleek, body-hugging dresses, with some making a bold statement straight off the bat.

But while the atmosphere was upbeat, online reactions have been a bit lukewarm. Some netizens felt this year’s crop didn’t quite bring the “wow factor” yet—but a few names did manage to stir up attention.
Vivian: The Drama Student Turning Heads

Social media was quick to pick up on her classic looks and that standout mole on her chin, with many comparing her features to some of TVB’s golden-era actresses. Drama school chops and a striking presence? She might just be one to watch.
Emily Tsoi: Ex-Child Star With A Dance Degree
Then there’s Emily Tsoi, 23, who brought along a bit of nostalgia—and her dad—to the interviews. Emily is the daughter of a former TVB staffer and has a background in entertainment as a child actress.
Old photos surfaced online showing her working alongside big names like Wong Cho-lam and even Lee Young-ae, which definitely caught the media’s attention. Freshly graduated from a UK university with a dance degree, Emily’s got both poise and pedigree.

While some praised her ambition, others raised concerns about whether it’s appropriate for a public servant to enter a beauty competition. Angel’s response? She promised to balance both responsibilities and thanked the public for their support (and scrutiny). Either way, her name’s already in the headlines.
A Mixed Bag So Far, But It’s Only The Beginning

All in all, the first round of Miss Hong Kong 2025 interviews has brought out a diverse group of contestants, from pageant rookies to returning faces, ex-child stars to politically active figures. It’s still early days, but the stage is clearly set for plenty of chatter, competition, and (hopefully) a few surprises.
As the recruitment rolls on, fans will no doubt be keeping their eyes peeled for more standout faces. Who do you think has the right mix of charm, brains, and screen presence to go all the way?
Stay tuned—this year’s pageant already looks like it’s going to be anything but boring.
