Miss Uganda C-section inspired gown at Miss World

Overview

Miss Uganda Elle Muhoza drew international attention at the Miss World pageant activities in Vietnam for wearing a couture gown titled ‘The Layers of Life’.

Designed by Ugandan designer Keesha Abdallah, the garment serves as a tribute to motherhood and the biological process of childbirth, specifically inspired by the experience of Caesarean sections. The gown features a mermaid silhouette with seven distinct layers of fabric in colors such as white, yellow, pink, and red. These layers are intended to represent anatomical structures including the skin, adipose tissue, fascia, abdominal muscles, peritoneum, uterus, and the amniotic sac.

Abdallah, who was inspired by her own experience as a new mother, stated that the design aims to celebrate the miracle of life and the human body, noting that the chosen colors represent transitions in the journey of life rather than any specific race, asserting that ‘life is universal.’
