Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi Sported Her Natural Hair And We're Here For It

First of all, congratulations are in order for the newly-crowned Miss Universe 2019, Zozibini Tunzi! Our very own Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray placed the Mouawad "Power of Unity" crown on her successor's head and TBH, it looks like it was *made* for Zozibini.

But let's talk about Zozibini's (literal) crowning glory—her hair! In beauty pageants, long, thick locks—whether straight or curled—are usually the "norm," which is why it's refreshing to see when contestants just let their natural tresses show.

Like a true queen, Zozibini sported her short natural hair throughout the competition. Let's take a look at some of her standout moments in her journey towards becoming Miss Universe 2019:

National costume

Preliminary swimsuit competition

Preliminary evening gown competition

Winning moment

In her final statement, Zozibini stressed the importance of representation as a woman of color. “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, and 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,” she declared.

Congratulations Zozibini for that well-deserved win!

People Aren't Happy With Steve Harvey For Making A Cartel Joke To Miss Colombia At The 2019 Miss Universe Pageant

Remember 2015? Yeah me neither, but it was the iconic year that Steve Harvey accidentally announced the wrong winner of Miss Universe, mistakenly saying that Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez had won when Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach was the actual winner. It was...a mess!

And now Steve has once again made headlines for all the wrong reasons thanks to a highly awkward conversation. While announcing that Miss Colombia Gabriela Tafur had made it to the Top 20, our dude attempted to make fun of himself by re-reading the news, and what followed was some witty banter that ended up being a nope from Twitter.

Gabriela joked to Steve, "You're forgiven, don't worry," and he went ahead and replied "You've forgiven me. They have. Not the cartel, has not. They're not handling it the same way."

Huh. A choice! Unfortunately for Steve, people watching the show were less than impressed by the joke. Check out the tweets below, but one viewer wrote, "Has @IAmSteveHarvey actually been threatened by a Colombian cartel? Can someone explain his 'joke' at #missuniverse ? It's not funny, it's offensive, drugs have tainted us with blood and pain. Be respectful and stop joking about it!!! Stop the ignorance!!!"

And another wrote "That Steve Harvey comment about Colombia and the CARTEL was disrespectful! He should apologize! That's not what we are, our artists, our landscapes, our athletes can speak LOUDER."
