Each year, the AMVCA red carpet becomes a venue for fashion houses to show off their most recent runway looks—some of which are rendered in custom designs, tailored specifically to each celebrity in attendance. There was plenty of show-stopping bespoke fashion at the 2023 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
Nana Akua Addo established herself as one of the night’s best-dressed stars after arriving on the red carpet in a form-fitting sculptural Cary Santiago masterpiece featuring 3D birds.
Sharon Ooja Egwurube, who stole the show in a Sheye Oladejo heavenly textured two-piece with crystal embellishments and rosettes, was also among this year’s best-dressed. We can’t forget about her sparkly new haircut, which took her look to the next level. Zozibini Tunzi, the evening’s hostess, served not one, not two, but three Lanre Da Silva head-turning shimmering pieces that live rent-free in our heads.
Looking through the evening’s most striking and daring ensembles provides a glimpse into the importance each celebrity attached to making a lasting impression in this year’s AMVCA awards’ highly coveted best-dressed category. The 12 standout stars who truly shone at the 2023 AMVCA awards combine elegance and individuality.
