…as Miss Universe 2025 Heads for the Crowning Moment

Bangkok, Thailand — The Miss Universe 2025 experience continues to unfold with unmatched elegance and global glamour, and Zimbabwe’s shining star, Miss Lyshanda Moyas, is proving to be an unstoppable force on the world stage.

As Day 5 of the Miss Universe journey commenced, the Zimbabwean queen once again captured the hearts of fans and fellow contestants with her stunning Day 5 look, which radiated confidence, cultural pride, and timeless sophistication.

The setting was as vibrant as it was symbolic — Thailand’s sunlit gardens and shimmering venues serving as the perfect backdrop for the contestants’ fashion showcases and public engagements.

Amid the flurry of cameras and the anticipation that defines the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Universe Zimbabwe stood tall and radiant, her every movement reflecting the essence of her homeland — bold, beautiful, and full of spirit.

Day 5’s theme at the Miss Universe camp centered around “Elegance with Purpose”, encouraging contestants to express their individuality through fashion while representing the soul of their nations.

Lyshanda Moyas did exactly that. Her look was not just an outfit — it was a story woven in fabric, color, and grace.

She appeared in an ensemble inspired by Zimbabwe’s natural splendor and cultural depth, combining soft golds reminiscent of the country’s sunlight with deep green accents symbolizing growth, unity, and vitality.

The delicate beadwork adorning the gown paid homage to Zimbabwean artistry, while subtle motifs hinted at the Victoria Falls — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a proud emblem of her nation.

Her presence on stage was magnetic — not only because of her physical beauty but also because of the authenticity and pride she exuded. “When I wear my country’s spirit, I feel unstoppable,” Lyshanda shared in a brief interaction with journalists.

“This look is more than fashion; it’s a reflection of the strength, warmth, and resilience of Zimbabwean women.”

Beyond the glamour, Lyshanda Moyas has consistently emphasized that her journey to Miss Universe is one anchored in purpose and advocacy.

Representing Zimbabwe is not only about showcasing external beauty but also about bringing attention to issues that matter — women’s empowerment, education for girls, and cultural heritage preservation.

Throughout her stay in Thailand, she has been engaging in social and cultural exchange programs, speaking passionately about Africa’s youthful potential and the importance of empowering the next generation of leaders.

Her ability to combine eloquence with compassion has not gone unnoticed.

International media outlets have begun highlighting her as one of the most poised and articulate contestants in this year’s edition.

“Lyshanda embodies the essence of what Miss Universe stands for — beauty with purpose and leadership with heart,” said a spokesperson from the Miss Universe Organization. “She carries her flag with such dignity that it inspires admiration from everyone she meets.”

Back home in Zimbabwe, excitement continues to build each day. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of love and encouragement from fans, celebrities, and even government officials who are following her progress closely.

On Facebook and Instagram, hashtags like, #MissUniverseZimbabwe, #LyshandaMoyas, and #ProudlyZimbabwean are trending, with thousands of users sharing her pictures and daily updates.

The official Miss Universe Zimbabwe team has been releasing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her activities — from rehearsals and charity engagements to her interactions with fellow contestants — each post garnering enthusiastic support from a growing global audience.

In Harare, local designers, stylists, and fans are organizing small viewing gatherings and online watch parties ahead of the upcoming Preliminary Competition, where national representatives will compete in swimwear, evening gown, and interview segments.

The anticipation is real, and for many Zimbabweans, Lyshanda’s participation symbolizes more than beauty — it represents national pride, resilience, and renewed hope.

“Every time she steps on that stage, she reminds the world that Zimbabwe is alive, vibrant, and full of potential,” said renowned fashion designer Tinashe Moyo.

“Her look on Day 5 captured our story — the blend of tradition and modernity, confidence and humility. She’s a true ambassador.” Moyo added.

As the host nation, Thailand has once again proven why it remains a favorite destination for international pageants.

The hospitality, cultural richness, and breathtaking scenery have added depth and warmth to the Miss Universe 2025 experience.

Contestants, including Miss Universe Zimbabwe, have spent their days participating in charity visits, fashion showcases, and cultural workshops.

Lyshanda was recently seen attending a Thai silk exhibition, where she expressed admiration for local craftsmanship and shared parallels between Thai and Zimbabwean artistry.

“Both cultures use color and texture to tell stories,” she said. “Fashion becomes a bridge that connects worlds — and that’s the beauty of Miss Universe.”

Her interactions with other contestants have also drawn positive attention, with several of them describing her as kind, humble, and uplifting.

“She brings sunshine wherever she goes,” said Miss Universe Philippines. “Her energy is calm yet powerful. You can feel her sincerity.” Said one contestant.

As the pageant progresses, all eyes are now on the upcoming preliminary judging rounds, where contestants will be evaluated on various aspects including personality, intelligence, and stage presence.

While competition is fierce, Miss Universe Zimbabwe’s consistent performance has positioned her as one of the promising contenders to watch.

Her team remains confident yet grounded. “Every day is a chance to represent our country better,” said the National Director of Miss Universe Zimbabwe.

“Day 5 was not just about fashion — it was a statement of who we are. Lyshanda carries the voice of every Zimbabwean woman — strong, dignified, and graceful.” The Director added.

What stands out most about Lyshanda Moyos is her authenticity. She has gracefully balanced the glamour of international pageantry with the humility and depth of her roots.

Her story has become a beacon for young Zimbabweans — a reminder that dreams are valid and that identity is power.

As she continues her Miss Universe journey in Thailand, she remains a proud representation of Zimbabwe’s rich heritage, its modern aspirations, and its unwavering spirit.

Day 5 may have been about fashion, but for Zimbabwe, it was a celebration of everything the nation stands for — beauty, pride, and purpose.

As the countdown to the grand finale on November 21 continues, Zimbabweans everywhere are united in one voice of support, “Go, Queen Lyshanda — the world is watching, and Zimbabwe stands with you.”
