Isn’t it unbelievable that Uganda has been crowning beauty queens since 1967? The first Miss Uganda was called Rosemary Salmon, and she was crowned in 1967. (ED: Rosemary is Sharon Salmon (former member of the Obsessions’ grandmother). And yes, she flew to London for Miss World.
Since then, this pageant has transitioned from a social event where one young lady emerges winner, to a tradition. Beauty queens have gone on to represent Uganda at Miss World, engaged in charity projects and a number of them are now having great careers. As Elizabeth Bagaya hands over her crown today, she’ll be adding a new name to a long list of women who have been Miss Uganda.
Meet all the former Miss Uganda winners. Back then, events weren’t as glitzy and glamorous as they are now, but that’s the beauty of it.
