She wore the green satin wrap which matched the green top she wore. Her eye makeup had similar touches of green which complemented the colours of the wrap.

Tunzi shared the Miss Universe finalist profile picture on her Instagram account which she captioned: "Guess who's live on the @missuniverse website? 😍.

We've gotten to know our Miss SA as a woman who isn't afraid to shake things up. Her decision to wear a head-wrap wasn't the only thing that drew attention. The fact that she was the only finalist who didn't show off her hair was a statement in it self.
