Cape Town — South Africa’s former Miss Universe pageant winner, Zozibini Tunzi, looked as elegant as ever when she was chosen as a judge for the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 pageant.
She rocked three equally-stunning evening dresses during her pageant trip which were all styled by Vietnam’s Chung Thanh Phong, while her make-up was done by Trieu Lee. However, one thing stood out about her this time and that was her long hair as she sported a long, flowing black wig, styled by Cape Town’s Hair by Viwe, TimesLIVE reported.
“The gown was meticulously crafted using the symmetrical embroidery technique, with an exquisite interplay of metallic gold and silver, delivering a mesmerising multilayered visual effect. Thousands of hours of dedicated handwork went into the intricate beading and embellishments, seamlessly paired with a silhouette that elegantly hugged her figure,” said Thanh Phong of one of Tunzi’s dresses.

When Tunzi won Miss South Africa in 2019, she had short, natural hair, despite many people telling her to wear a wig. She later won the Miss Universe Pageant with the same hairstyle, saying at the time that she was going to do things the way she wanted to do it.
“I’ve been with my natural hair for the past three years. I don’t see why I should change it just because I’m stepping into another platform,” she said.
