Miss Universe reveals official portrait of new queen Zozibini Tunzi

The Miss Universe organization released the official portrait of South African beauty queen Zozibini Tunzi shortly after Catriona Gray turned over the title to her.

Looking absolutely regal, Queen Zozi was photographed by lensman Benjamin Askinas the beautiful new Mouawad crown perched on her head.

Queen Zozi bested 90 candidates on Monday morning with her beauty, her brains, and her super on-point answers.

During their Final Word, all three women were asked the same question which was, "What is the most important thing we should be teaching young girls today?"

Her winning answer was:

The most important thing we should be teaching young girls today is leadership. It's something that has been lacking in young girls and women for a very long time, not because we don't want to but because of what society has labeled women to be. I think we are the most powerful beings in the world and that we should be given every opportunity and that's what we should be teaching these young girls to take up space. There is nothing more important than to take up space in the society.

Meanwhile, in her final speech, Zozi revealed that "with my skin color, and my kind of hair," she was never considered beautiful. "It is time that stops today," she said in her powerful speech.

Powerful words from a powerful woman. Congratulations, Queen Zozi!

Zozibini is the third beauty queen from South Africa to win Miss Universe after Demi-Leigh Nel Peters (2017) and Margaret Gardiner (1978). — Jannielyn Ann  Bigtas/LA, GMA News
