here’s no doubt African celebs will never pass up on an opportunity to showcase splendor at its finest. This fact shone through at the biggest African awards event in Lagos, the AMVCA 2023, over the weekend. 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.
Entertainers, actors, designers, and top content creators splattered the 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
Nollywood Veteran actress Ini Edo, was arguably one of the best dressed at AMVCA 2023. Edo sported a black and white sheer dress with frozen tree embellishments. This dress from LaKimmy cradled her frame, giving us an all-deserving view. Her minimalist makeup and skin tone gave the outfit the best finishing touches.
#2. Sharon whites
If white was made for a person, then it would be Sharon Ooja. The Nigerian actress wore a pristine white two-piece. The skirt, in its glory, flowed divinely, while the cropped blouse shimmered with crystals and stones. A remarkable feature of the outfit is the huge floral cape. What an out-of-this-world type of look.
#3. Toke princess
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 ruffled train, floral embellishments on its sleeve, and a corset blouse. Her diamond necklace from Diamond Eternal Jewelers was a dreamy piece that matched the energy of the entire look.
#4. Nana popping in silver
The beautiful Ghanaian actress Nana Akua Addo donned a metallic silver silk one-shoulder dress from Cary Santiago. The ostentatious number had designs of silver birds and cutout detailing. To top it all, she wore fancy futuristic glasses from Divamp Couture that looked like an inverted Batman helmet. This was one of the most raved about looks from the night.
#5. Sandra, the 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 portrayed the regal side of Sandra. The pearl jewelry was nothing short of perfect. It was a go-big or go-home vibe that indeed came correct. #Queenenergy
#6. Nse slay-tivity
There are many great ways to describe this rendering, but “whoosh” seems to cut it aptly. Nse Ikpe-Etim stepped out to the AMVCA 2023 in a red carpet-worthy dress by Toju Foye. The sleeveless maxi purple satin dress fit almost like a second skin. The classic jewelries and complementary hairdo are not to be left out.
#7. Chioma for the greens
Lawyer and Entrepreneur, Chioma Goodhair gathered 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. Crystals in a Lambo
Big Brother Naija star Mercy Eke, popularly known as Lambo, rocked a sky blue cape sequin dress by Xtra Bride Lagos. The dress, a recreation from 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 on to something. 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 on her Instagram story.
#9. Floral and feminine: 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 textured train. The wonder creation from Yemi Shoyemi is befitting 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.
#10. Ini in black eloquence
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 decorations were the details that make up flawlessness.
