Miss South Africa, Zozibini
Tunzi was crowned Miss Universe on December 9, 2019 after excelling through
rounds of swimsuit and evening gown struts, questions on social issues and one
final chance to explain why she was the right choice. "I grew up in a world where a woman who
looks like me — with my kind of skin and my kind of hair — was never considered
to be beautiful," she said in her last response. "I think it is time
that that stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face and I want
them to see their faces reflected in mine." The two runners-up for the
crown were Miss Mexico and Miss Puerto Rico. "If you do not use your
beauty for your life's mission, it's just an empty ornament," Sofía
Aragón, representing Mexico, said earlier in the competition. Madison Anderson
represented Puerto Rico. "Being on the Miss Universe stage is not just a
dream" Anderson said. "I believe that I found my mission. It's a
representation of dedication, resilience and perseverance. I do believe my
mission is to show the world that magic happens when we refuse to give up
because the universe always listens to a stubborn heart." And if you're
wondering, yes, there was another mix-up and Steve Harvey was involved in it.
But it was nothing like the 2015 disaster when he called out the wrong winner. Harvey
hosted the pageant for the fifth time sporting a bedazzled green and gold suit
jacket. He was commenting on a costume from earlier in week and said Miss
Philippines won the National Costume Contest. He was right, but the woman who
came out on stage said she was Miss Malaysia. "Y'all got to quit doing
this to me," he said.
