When most beauty queens reach the helm of beauty pageantry in Uganda, Miss Uganda, they literary vanish off the face of the earth, barely months into their reign. For Sylvia Namutebi Allibhai, however, being crowned Miss Uganda back in 2011 was also the beginning of a seemingly never-ending pageantry journey.
Ten years later, in 2021, she was crowned Mrs Uganda World, in a beauty pageant that seeks to crown married beauty queens from across the world. This crown resultantly meant that Namutebi would then qualify to compete for the international crown – Mrs World. Today, therefore, she has jetted off to Las Vegas in the US, for the finale of the pageantry.
