In a stunning showcase of South Africa’s craftsmanship, our very own Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg wowed Miss World judges in India in a gown that celebrated the vibrancy of our nation, embodied unity, innovation, and humble strength!

 

Hyderabad, India (27 May 2025) – Zoalize Jansen van Rensburg graced the 2025 Miss World South Africa stage over the weekend and did more than just turn heads!

Her breathtaking creation by local designer Juan William Aria, which was a masterpiece that celebrated the richness of South Africa’s natural beauty and cultural soul, won judges over, giving her the World Designer Award!

The Pretoria-born model is currently in Hyderabad, India, where she is competing alongside some of the world’s most influential women to receive the coveted crown of Miss World.

According to Miss World, the award-winning dress was crafted from satin glass fabric and adorned with custom artwork and hand-embroidered motifs; the gown is a vibrant tribute to the nation’s flora. At its heart blooms the Protea, king of all flowers and national symbol of South Africa, embodying unity, innovation, and humble strength.

An overjoyed Zoalize expressed her deep gratitude to the designer, calling the gown “a celebration of who we are as a people—diverse, rooted, and proud.”

With only four days remaining until the new Miss World is announced, a hopeful Zoalize reflects on what has been an adventure of a lifetime.

“I got to share the story of all the wonderful friends and family of my project @nevertooyoungtoadvocate , giving them the light and visibility through the beauty with a purpose initiative had been fulfilling.

“I have felt empowered and supported every step of the way through everyone supporting me here in Hyderabad as well as back home. My gratitude goes out to you all, she said in a recent post.

Zoalize, you’ve already made us so proud!

We wish our current Miss World title holder the very best as she vies for the crown yet again.
