Ever since Zozibini Tunzi was crowned Miss Universe, the queen has been seen as a woman who breaks the prototypes and schemes of perfect beauty, but this time the photos of her in a famous magazine, are generating controversy.
Although the South African has fought fiercely against stereotypes, in the latest edition of South Africa's Cosmopolitan magazine, Zozibini is seen on the cover, with a look full of Photoshop, with the usual Barbie costume colours, showing an image of perfection which contrasts with her message.

Although the beautiful queen was grateful to be in such a magazine, especially because the article they made recognized the fashion and beauty of their country, some of the fans of the queen did not like that they tried to make her look like the famous doll, with her pink suit and everything.
“What an incredible feeling to wake up to such an award. This is a #MadeInAfrica issue featuring fashion and beauty products made in Africa by Africans. This gives us all the opportunity to support local production and businesses after closing. Thank you very much Cosmopolitan SA for this honour, ”said the queen on her Instagram, accompanying the controversial cover.
“This really reminds me of my late uncle, we used to call him Mchina. Every time she came home, kuTsolo, even as a child, used to say 'you look as beautiful as if you were in a magazine, you belong to a magazine'. At the time, this was something that seemed unattainable to a village girl sitting on a stick with her uncle. It is very unfortunate that he was not alive to see me win Miss Universe or to see his dream of me being in a magazine, ”added the beautiful queen.
