The eighth cycle of Vietnam's Next Top Model (subtitled as Vietnam's Next Top Model: All Stars and stylized as Vietnam's Next Top Model ALL ★ STARS) premiered on June 24, 2017 on VTV3. The cycle was originally announced to be an all-stars co-ed cycle, but was later changed to the original format of an all-female cycle. This cycle features contestants who had previously competed in cycles 1-7, as long as they were not the winners. In addition to the all-star cast, a separate search was held for all-new aspiring contestants. For this cycle, the entire panel of judges was replaced. The jury consisted of model-actress Trương Ngọc Ánh, make-up artist Nam Trung, and model Võ Hoàng Yến. Ngọc Ánh acted as the show's presenter, while Nam Trung served as the show's creative director, and Hoàng Yến served as a model mentor.
The winner of the competition was 24-year-old Lê Thị Kim Dung, who originally placed twelfth in cycle 5.
In addition to the returning contestants, an online contest organized by Kenh14.vn in partnership with Maybelline was held to find an additional a best contestant, who would enter the model house alongside the all-star cast. The winner of the Top Model Online search, Nguyễn Hồng Anh, was chosen through a popular vote. An additional contestant scouted in the same search, Nguyễn Thị Phương Oanh, was also chosen by the judges.

The show recapped the achievements of the previous winners and contestants from the show, before introducing former models of the previous cycles who would be competing again as models for an all new cycle. In addition to the returning models, there were also two new models, Oanh P. and Anh, who were chosen through a separate online search. After the judges had introduced themselves, the models had a photo shoot where they were hung upside down. They later attended a red carpet challenge at the Grand Palace Events Centre in Ho Chi Minh City. At elimination, the models were divided into two groups - one of which was safe from elimination. The best performing contestants from the challenge; Trang, Oanh P., Dung, Hợp, Hương, Mi, and Dương were declared safe. Trâm was deemed to be the best performer from the photo shoot, followed by Oanh H., Ngân, and Kikki. Anh and Xuân landed in the bottom two, but neither of them was eliminated.
