WHAT about an All-Star White party in Mbare — which brings together a bevy of beauty queens, including Miss Universe Zimbabwe Lyshanda Moyas?
This was a farewell party for the beauty queen ahead of her trip to Thailand for Miss Universe 2025.
Forget ordinary farewells — this one had it all: glamour, music, celebrities, and a queen glowing like never before.
The theme was all-white, and the guests didn’t come to play.
From top socialites to pageant bigwigs, business tycoons, celebrities and diplomats, Zimbabwe’s finest showed up dripping in style.
The Miss Universe Zimbabwe board sat proudly in the front row, while cameras flashed non-stop as influencers and celebs jostled to capture the night that lit up Harare’s social scene.
And the entertainment?
Pure fire.
Jah Prayzah stole the show with a killer live set that had the packed crowd screaming for more.
Chillmaster kept the vibes alive with his electric Zimdancehall beats, while Delroy Shewe added a smooth groove that had the socialites swaying with champagne glasses in hand.
But the star of the night was Lyshanda herself.
Dressed in a jaw-dropping white gown that shimmered under the lights, the queen had everyone gasping. “I feel incredibly prepared for this journey,” she said, flashing her signature smile.
“Zimbabwe is on my shoulders and I carry it with pride. I know the world is waiting, and I am ready to show them our strength, resilience, and beauty.
“This isn’t just about me, it’s about Zimbabwe. From Mbare to Harare, from Bulawayo to Mutare, I am representing every young girl who dreams big.
“I am going to Thailand not only to compete but to make sure our flag flies high.”
The night had a magical candle-lighting moment.
Guests raised their flickering lights in unison, creating a dreamy scene that symbolised the nation’s hopes for Lyshanda.
The vibe was emotional, powerful, and Insta-perfect — no wonder hashtags like #QueenLyshanda and #ZimbabweToTheWorld trended all night.
The send-off wasn’t just about partying.
With Lyshanda set to leave at the end of October for the Miss Universe bootcamp, the night also marked the start of her big journey.
Weeks of rehearsals, charity events and global networking lie ahead — but if this party was anything to go by, she’s already a winner in the eyes of Zimbabwe.
When the music finally died down, the message was crystal clear: Lyshanda Moyas isn’t just representing herself.
She’s carrying a whole nation onto the world stage — and she’s not walking alone
