South Africa-based content creator Roseanna Hall has been crowned Miss Universe Zimbabwe 2026.
She outsmarted the other 17 contestants during a tight grand finale.
She makes it the first diaspora candidate ever to be crowned Miss Universe Zimbabwe.
Roseanna Hall’s story begins in Shurugwi, a mining town in the Midlands province of Zimbabwe, where she grew up in a household shaped by service, discipline, and quiet sacrifice.
Her journey into pageantry began when Roseanna, then a teenager, entered the national spotlight as a Miss Teen Zimbabwe Finalist in 2010.
That same year, she represented her country at one of Africa’s most prestigious platforms, the MNET Face of Africa.
Roseanna pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science before adding PR and Communications with L’Oréal, the world’s largest beauty company, sharpening her instincts at the very apex of the industry.
Known across social media as @the_goldenrose, Roseanna has built one of Zimbabwe’s most recognised and aspirational digital brands, amassing over 74,000 engaged followers on her IG account.
