The Mexican beauty overcame competition from 74 other women representing their respective countries.

Meza took her first walk on stage as Miss Universe 2020 after she was crowned by the previous winner of the coveted title. 

Holding the Miss Universe title since December 2019, Tunzi is a public relations professional who became the first Black woman from South Africa to win the pageant. Due to the pandemic, last year’s ceremony was cancelled.
