September 20, 2025, will forever be a watershed moment for Trivia Muhooza Elle, who was crowned Miss Uganda 2025/26 at a glamorous event held at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel.
The coronation marked the pinnacle of months of regional tours and a vibrant nationwide search for the next Miss Uganda.
Trivia’s beauty, talent, inspiration, and ambition set her apart, helping her fulfill her dream as she took over the crown from Natasha Nyonyozi.
A proud alumna of the Uganda Aviation Academy in Kampala, Trivia completed her training as an Airline Customer Service Crew before pursuing her pageant journey.
“Beauty and Brain”
Speaking at the event, Esther, the Principal of Uganda Aviation Academy, described Trivia as the perfect embodiment of beauty and brain.
“Before she wore the crown as Miss Uganda 2025/26, she was one of our dedicated students, excelling in her studies and embracing every moment of her practical aviation classes. From mastering hands-on training to building confidence in leadership, her journey reminds us that education is not just about books, but about shaping world-class achievers. I am proud to have been part of her story and even prouder to see her inspire others as a queen, role model, and aviation ambassador,” Esther said.
She further emphasized that the Miss Uganda platform is more than a beauty pageant:
“The crown represents ambition, empowerment, and purpose. Through this platform, young women gain coaching, networking, and advocacy opportunities, especially in key areas like women’s rights and agriculture. Trivia embodies that perfectly.”
At just 24 years old, Trivia’s victory is also a celebration of her academic success as a graduate of the Uganda Aviation Academy.
Why She Won
Judges praised Trivia for her blend of grace, intelligence, and purpose, echoing the “beauty and brain” ideal. Her aviation background gave her a unique edge, positioning her as a powerful ambassador for both education and ambition.
Highlights From the Night
The grand finale was a dazzling showcase of fashion, music, and culture, broadcast live on StarTimes. Ugandan artists, including Tracy Melon, Aziz Azion, and Grace Nakimera, entertained the guests.
Social media star Aminah Nalubega (popularly known as Errands Runner) won Miss Popularity for her massive online following. Meanwhile, musician Nina Roz urged youth to use the internet responsibly.
