The 26-year-old hails from South Africa, and spends her time working as an activist.
According to Tunzi, her biggest passions are ending gender-based violence and promoting natural beauty amongst women.

It’s made with 18-karat gold and 1,770 diamonds, including a golden centerpiece stone weighing 62.83 carats, according to Rappler. The floral design of the crown is meant to represent unity among women from all seven continents, while the crown as a whole was inspired by “nature, strength, beauty, femininity, and unity,” according to Mouawad’s video.
