Speaking of red carpet looks, one of the most anticipated aspects of the AMVCA is the fashion and style on display. From glamorous gowns to dapper suits, the stars always bring their A-game to the red carpet. Who stole the show at AMVCA 2024? Only few lines down this post will tell.
Of course, the heart of the AMVCA lies in the nominations and categories. With awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and more, the competition was fierce.
For this year 2024, African Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards took the entertainment world by storm on the 11th of May, making it the 10th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards and as usual, it was held at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos, showcasing the best of African talent in film and television.

From elegant gowns to sharp suits, the stars always bring their A-game when it comes to style. And let’s not forget the accessories – the bling is always on point at the AMVCA.
This year, the stars came out in full force, dressed to the nines in designer gowns and sharp suits. From bold colors to intricate patterns, the red carpet was a feast for the eyes. However, not everyone hit the mark, with a few questionable choices that raised eyebrows and sparked debate among fashion critics.
The AMVCA 2024 began with a cultural night with Africa’s finest in the movie industry, looking glamorous and stunning the red carpet in beautiful cultural pieces, representing diverse cultures all across Africa.
Nollywood stars, former BBN contestants and cousins, Neo Akpofure and Venita Akpofure won the bBest dressed couple, styled by Amy Aghomi, in a Bini attire, representing the great Benin people while Beauty Tukura won Best Dressed for the second time in a row, in a beautiful piece by Emagine by Bukola.
Nigerian Idol Host, seasoned presenter, T.V. Host and compere, I. K. Osakioduwa who has hosted the AMVCA for the past 9years, also marked his 10yrs anniversary as the host of the event.

Adams who showed up in a black 2piece suit designed by Fresh by Dotun, Toke Makinwa stunned the red carpet in a beautiful piece by VeeKeeJames and Uti Nwachukwu stepping out in a red and blue 2piece outfit by Black Adudu.
On the other end of the spectrum, the worst dressed category had a few contenders vying for the title. From mismatched colors to questionable silhouettes, these fashion faux pas left us wondering what the stars were thinking when they got dressed that evening and to think this event is yearly to end up not coming with their A-game? Mmh!
But the fashion is just the beginning. The event itself is a night to remember, with awards handed out to the best and brightest in African entertainment. From Best Actor to Best Picture, the AMVCA recognizes excellence in all aspects of the industry. And the speeches! Oh, the speeches. There’s nothing quite like seeing a talented artist take the stage and thank their fans, their family, and everyone who helped them along the way.
In the realm of awards, Kehinde Bankole and Wale Ojo took home the coveted titles of Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively, for their outstanding performances in their respective roles. The movie Breathe of Life also took home the award for Best Movie, solidifying its place as a must-watch in the African film industry, no wonder, I watched it with someone cutting little onions beside me.
The winning movie ‘Breathe of Life’ won 5 awards in five different categories, including Best Movie, Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director.
And of course, we can’t forget about the after-parties. The AMVCA is not just an awards show, it’s a chance for the stars to let loose and celebrate their hard work. From dancing the night away to catching up with old friends, the after-parties are where the real fun happens.
