This Show was started with a vision to offer a platform to promote what Kenya owns; what Kenya has, by incorporating the love and passion for fashion, quality, and design, together

The pageant in the past years has attracted well over 3000 contestants to the pageant showcasing before live audiences of over 5000 people. Mrs. Terry Mungai, C.E.O of Ashleys Kenya Limited comments “Ashleys Kenya will adhere strictly to the pageant theme “Beauty with a purpose” by emphasizing strongly morals and hospitality aspects, moving the event from night club affair to a family affair”

The difference my new look made during the client meetings that followed was immediate. I noticed there was a lot less resistance in signing on the dotted line from new clients who didn't know me because my new look had amplified their trust to a whole new level

The awards seek to highlight the tradition of selflessness of the African nation to uplift one another through advancements of adoption, and the modern generation that tirelessly challenges the socio-political global status quo. With compelling ideas between self-identity and recognition of ownership, this theme seeks to emphasize that this new outlook of the future African generation is for “us by us” hence it’s name the starz.

To kick things off, Natasha Sinayobye, an actress, model and fashion influencer  and Stallone Lubwama, a fashion model star on the cover of this special edition. Sinayobye, who is famous for her clean short hair got a major beauty makeover we’ve not seen before, while Lubwama hid his face.
