AFRIMA 2026: The Best Dressed Stars Who Owned the Red Carpet

9th All Africa Music Awards held in Lagos

Award shows are the perfect stage for fashion, and this year’s AFRIMA was no exception. Celebrities arrived at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos last Sunday, bringing incredible style and glamour to a truly unforgettable night.

The red carpet was a stunning display of African fashion, ranging from bold, modern pieces to timelessly elegant gowns. Designers truly made their mark, blending traditional heritage with the latest global trends to create looks that were both expressive and unique.

Several stars stole the spotlight with their choices. Juliet Ibrahim looked radiant in a shimmering gold gown, while Annie Idibia was the picture of luxury in a pearl-encrusted dress with a dramatic train. Iyabo Ojo opted for a more understated but sophisticated look in a sleek black satin outfit. Other big names like Rema, Stonebwoy, and Phyno also turned heads with their sharp and stylish ensembles.

The evening was hosted by Eni and Claudia, with fashion experts Tosyn Bucknor and Ariane Celeste Moua providing commentary on the night's best-dressed stars. Ultimately, it was more than just a ceremony; it was a brilliant celebration of African music, culture, and world-class fashion.
