Nel-Pieters wrote on Instragram that she's "proud to stand in solidarity with women all over the world that have ever been affected by any form of inequality or abuse".


The social media movement, #MeToo, saw millions share their stories of sexual abuse and sprung up in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein.


Gardiner, crowned in 1978 as South Africa's first Miss Universe, joined Nel-Pieters in wearing black on the red carpet.
