Miss Uzbekistan or O‘zbekiston go‘zali is a national beauty pageant in Uzbekistan.

The current titleholder is Nigina Fakhriddinova of Tashkent, who was crowned as the inaugural titleholder on August 22, 2024. She will represent Uzbekistan at Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico.[1]

History

In 2013, Rakhima Ganieva was the first Miss World contestant to represent Uzbekistan. Her presence there was controversial.[2] She began taking part in Miss World 2013 for Uzbekistan. She claimed the Miss Uzbekistan 2013 pageant was held on 20 July 2013 in Tashkent. Officials at the Uzbek Culture and Sports Ministry and the National Committee on Women were unaware that the country had held a contest.[3]

Later in 2022, ZO'R TV presented the O‘zbekiston go‘zali or Miss Uzbekistan, which aimed to be the 1st edition of Miss Uzbekistan by using the Uzbek name. Alimboyeva Durdona won the title during the telecast.[4]

In 2024, Edgar Saakyan, a founder of Edgar Entertainment in Miami, Florida, United States took over the Miss Universe license for Uzbekistan,[5] and Nigina Fakhriddinova was later elected as the first Uzbek representative to compete at the said contest.[1]
