Shozi’s engagement confirmation reflected the refined, low-key luxury image she is known for.
Following several days of discreet clues, she posted a brief message on Instagram: “And suddenly I am left-handed.”
A photograph focusing on her dazzling diamond ring accompanied the caption, and the understated announcement quickly attracted widespread attention from fans.
The proposal happened at Lake Como as Shozi marked her 32nd birthday.
With calm waters and warm evening light providing the backdrop, the question was popped aboard a boat. Shozi wore an elegant blue-and-white mini dress, while her oval-shaped diamond became the centre of attention.

Although Shozi has kept her future husband away from public attention, reports have identified him as Zimbabwean businessman Kudzaishe James Magura.
The pair had reportedly been connected several years ago before finding their way back to each other and beginning a quieter, more deliberate relationship.
Unsurprisingly, the announcement was met with warm congratulations from Shozi’s fans and celebrity friends.
