Demi-Leigh Peters - A Modern Miss Universe

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters was the next one to wear the crown. This Miss South Africa won the top title in 2017, bringing with her not just the requisite beauty but a certain modernity. Demi-Leigh was in fact lauded for her very current take on women’s issues. She championed equal work for equal pay for women all over the world. She escaped a harrowing carjacking by punching one of the criminals in the throat. Clearly, this is one Queen nobody can mess with.
