"What, for you, is the essence of being a woman?" This is perhaps the most iconic Miss Universe question ever. Yet, what solidified it as a hallmark in the beauty pageant industry was the way the beauty queen, Sushmita Sen, profoundly answered it. With conviction, she said that the origin of a child is a mother and a woman who exudes the essence of loving, caring, and sharing. And that's right, folks! That's the winning answer that made her snatch the Miss Universe crown in 1994!

The definition of a woman is constantly changing. But one thing is certain, when it's beauty pageant season, people from all over the world, especially those from the LGBTQIA++ community, will do whatever it takes to watch the Miss Universe coronation night online! And just recently, Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi has taken the world, the universe rather, by storm when she took a stand on women empowerment. And we couldn't agree more that she really deserved to be the Miss Universe 2019! The 26-year-old gender-equality advocate sashayed away in her tailored-fit Biji La Maison de Couture and dazzled people in her silver-gold gown with a blue accent! Miss Universe Philippines Catriona Gray's fruitful reign has come to a close. We thank her for touching our hearts and we look forward to Zozibini's Tunzi's turn! So yeah, don't fret in case you didn't get to watch Miss Universe 2019 live as there are websites to catch these beautiful ladies! Long live the Miss Universe Queen!
