The 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) didn’t just celebrate the best in African cinema; it turned the red carpet into a high-octane exhibition of wearable art. This year, the stars moved beyond mere “glamour” into the realm of conceptual storytelling, proving that in Lagos, the fashion is just as cinematic as the films.

From Nana Akua Addo’s sculptural dress inspired by the Cologne Cathedral to Queen Mercy Atang’s ensemble made from over 500 loaves of bread, here are the highlights that stole the spotlight at AMVCA 12.
