The 7th edition of the annual CBA Uganda Vintage & Classic Auto show went down on Saturday at the Sheraton gardens. The event saw car and bike enthusiasts throng the gardens on the sunny afternoon to marvel at the different vintage cars and bikes that were exhibited. There was also a collectibles area where old items like gramophones, monochrome TV sets and phonographs were displayed.
Away from the automobiles, revelers turned up in fashionable outfits with most bringing to life styles from the 70’s and 80’s. For this year’s edition, revelers were encouraged to adhere a retro dress code in accordance with this year’s theme, “Beauty and the Beast”, for which the best dressed would be awarded.
As the event finally came to an end, 8-year-old Gary Gavina Ahabwe emerged as the best dressed male. He impressed the judges with his Bell-bottoms paired with a matching waistcoat and completed with an Afro-wig. He beat several contenders to the award who included exhibitioner Kakooza Weziire (who came in second place) and Social media influencer Arthur Musinguzi.
In the ladies category, Shadia Ustaaz emerged winner after impressing the judges with her vintage High Waisted Pleated Maxi Skirt. Atim Charlote came in second place.
The winners were rewarded with goodies from Sheraton Hotel.
