- AMVCA held its 12th edition at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, celebrating African film, TV and digital storytelling.
- Atang arrived in a dress made from more than 500 loaves of bread, designed by Toyin Lawan of Tiannah's Empire, to market her bread‑baking business.
- Addo wore a silver architectural gown inspired by Cologne Cathedral, created by Abasswoman, featuring hand‑painted window details and cathedral‑shaped extensions.
- Montana debuted a red‑and‑gold feathered ensemble symbolising fire and phoenix rebirth, adding to the night’s theatrical fashion narrative.
Why it matters: Atang’s bread dress gives her bakery instant exposure to millions, potentially boosting sales, while critics flag food waste concerns; the AMVCA’s fashion spectacle amplifies African designers’ global visibility, influencing brand deals and cultural trends.
