Miss Mexico is crowned with the Mouawad Miss Universe® Power of Unity Crown

Miss Universe Mexico Andrea Meza was crowned Miss Universe from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Andrea will use her year as Miss Universe to advocate for women’s rights and against gender-based violence. After a beautiful National Costume Competition, rounds of interviews, a preliminary competition and the live Finals, Andrea was crowned with the beautiful Mouawad Power of Unity Crown, presented to her by outgoing Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi, who now holds the title for the longest-ever reigning Miss Universe. 

Taking its inspiration from the universal themes of nature, strength, beauty, femininity and fairness, the Mouawad MISS UNIVERSE® Power of Unity Crown is crafted from 18-karat gold and handset with more than 1,725 white diamonds and 3 golden canary diamonds. These hundreds of diamonds are set in intricate interplays of motifs of petals, leaves and vines, representing communities across the seven continents whose bonds unite them in the same purpose of empowering one another. The crown’s centerpiece, a shield cut golden canary diamond weighing a magnificent 62.83 carat, and its harmony with the diamonds surrounding it, inspires the crown’s name, the Power of Unity. 

At a press conference held to a select audience following the crowning, Pascal Mouawad presented the reigning Miss Universe, Andrea Meza with a Mouawad Leila yellow sapphire and diamond pendant crafted from 18-karat white gold on a sapphire-set chain, and also presented Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi with a pair of Mouawad Oriana 18-karat gold earrings set with diamonds and white South Sea pearls.

Mouawad Co-Guardian Pascal Mouawad said, “It is inspiring to see the Mouawad MISS UNIVERSE® Power of Unity Crown begin a new chapter with a new reigning Miss Universe. We look forward to seeing its powerful message of beauty, unity and being a force for good be embodied and carried forward by Andrea.”
