Zozi Tunzi Was A 'Regal African Queen' In Her Sona Gown, says Celeb Designer

Zozibini Tunzi doesn't need R73-million's worth of diamonds on her head to sparkle. The beauty queen who attended the state of the nation address on Thursday sans her Miss Universe crown stunned in a canary yellow halter-neck gown.


She might have not walked the red carpet before the event, but she easily could have walked the runway in the Gert-Johan Coetzee creation.

Coetzee, who is a favourite designer among local celebs like Somizi Mhlongo and Bonang Matheba, says he was honoured to dress Tunzi for Sona.

As it was such an auspicious occasion, he was inspired to “present her as a regal African queen, a young woman stepping into her own”.
He elaborates: “We chose the bright yellow as it is such a positive, celebratory colour for someone who in herself is such an inspiration and creates hope for so many young South Africans.

“The gown is fitted to accentuate [Tunzi's] tall, statuesque figure with a low back and a long slit. It's made of lace and is decorated with sparkling Swarovski crystals and long strings of traditional African beads hanging down almost to the knees.”

These beads formed a layered statement necklace at the front, with several strands also draping beautifully over her bareback. The overall design was sexy without being too revealing.

Tunzi attended Sona at the personal request of President Cyril Ramaphosa, but as she was seated in the gallery of the National Assembly, it was hard to admire the full effect of her outfit.
