here’s no doubt African celebs will never pass up on an opportunity to showcase splendor at its finest. This fact shone through over the weekend at Africa’s biggest awards event, the AMVCA 2023. It was clear the stars didn’t come to play at the ninth edition of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards, hosted by TV/Radio host Ik Osakioduwa and Miss Universe 2019, Zozibini Tunzi.
As the sun began to set in Lagos on Saturday evening, entertainers, actors, designers, and top content creators splattered the red carpet with resplendent and luxurious ensembles. Per usual, the most creative and controversial ones kept tongues wagging and sent keypad warriors to war. In all, AMVCA 2023 was a display of mesmerizing and head-turning ensembles that left everyone in awe.
Check out the best-dressed celebs and influencers at the AMVCA 2023…
#1. Black Ini Magic
Actress Ini Edo, was arguably one of the best dressed at AMVCA 2023. The Nollywood veteran sported a black and white sheer dress with frozen tree embellishments. The gown, by LaKimmy, cradled her frame, giving us an all-deserving view. Her minimalist makeup and sleek hair style were the perfect complement to the exceptional couture piece.
#2. Angelic Sharon
If white was made for a person, then it would be Sharon Ooja. The Nigerian actress showed out in a pristine two-piece. The skirt, in its glory, flowed divinely with cascading details, while the statement cropped top shimmered with crystals and stone embellishments. The most remarkable feature of the outfit was its huge floral cape. What an out-of-this-world type of look!
#3. Princess Toke
Nigerian media personality and socialite Toke Makinwa, gave us a Cinderella vibe at the AMVCA 2023. The dazzling princess wore a massive blue ball dress from Kud Collections, styled by celebrity stylist Swanky Jerry. Toke’s dress included a pleated ball skirt, off-shoulder floral embellishments, and a corset bodice. Her diamond necklace from Diamond Eternal Jewelers was a dreamy piece that matched the energy of the entire look.
#4. The Daring Nana
Ghanaian actress Nana Akua Addo donned a metallic silver silk one-shoulder dress by Cary Santiago. The ornate number featured designs of birds and intricate cutout detailing. To top it all, she rocked fancy futuristic glasses from Divamp Couture that looked like an inverted Batman helmet. This was one of the most raved about looks of the night.
#5. Sandra, Queen of Florals
BB Titan star Sandra Essien wore a smashing purple remake of Cardi B’s Met Gala ensemble. The huge floral ball dress by Macklin Scout brought alive the regal side of the actress. It was a go-big or go-home vibe that indeed came correct. #Queenenergy
#6. Nse Slaybulosity
Veteran Nollywood actress Nse Ikpe-Etim stepped out to the AMVCA 2023 in a red carpet-worthy dress by Toju Foyeh. There are many great ways to describe this rendering, but “whoosh” seems to cut it aptly. The satin tube dress fit almost like a second skin and was simply perfect for the ageless beauty. The classic jewelry set complementary hairdo all added to the well-thought out look.
#7. Chioma for the greens
Lawyer and entrepreneur, Chioma Goodhair gathered and delivered the British Regency era vibes, and we love it. This metallic green satin LaKimmy dress with corset details is worth a place on your red-carpet mood board. The gloves displayed delicate femininity, and so did the jewelry, hair, makeup.
#8. Floral layers by KieKie
Nigerian award-winning social content creator Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly known as Kie Kie, has done it again. Kie Kie was a beauty to behold in an elaborate floral dress with a detachable ruffled train. The wonder creation by Yemi Shoyemi is befitting of every fashion magazine’s front page. Although the clutch was mini, it was loud in its representation. KieKie and her glam team are versed in this style game.
#9. Crystals in a Lambo
Big Brother Naija star Mercy Eke, popularly known as Lambo, rocked a caped sequin dress by Xtra Bride Lagos. The gown, a recreation of one of Cardi B’s looks, was a whole gem, featuring all-over crystals. Swanky Jerry or The Force, as he calls himself, was definitely onto something with this one. The heavily embellished dress, gloves, crystal-studded cape, plunging neckline gave rich girl energy. Take a bow Mercy, because even Cardi loved it so much that she reposted it on her Instagram story.
#10. Black Glamour by Ini
Our list would be forever incomplete without the simple and glitzy, minimalist and charming black dress which Ini Dima-Okojie wore to AMVCA 2023. The velvet dress by Derin Fabikun was an elegant choice. The glove sleeves, belly cut-out, and crystal embellishments were the details that made for a timelessly chic masterpiece.
