The entire African continent is in anticipation for the 2020 Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards coming off this Saturday, March 14. Minted for the ultimate purpose of rewarding excellence in African film and television, the annual AMVCA for the past 7 years has brought together under one roof the good and best from Africa and beyond.
Aside the official categories fetching both A-listers and upcoming filmmakers’ legit spots in the world of film-making, its red carpet has also been a certified arena drawing an impressive lineup of audience to everything that the award show stands for.
From the top of high-profile names that have graced the AMVCA in past years is listed the actress, director and producer Genevieve Nnaji. Within the four consecutive years (2013-2016) that Nnaji made an appearance, she effortlessly signaled the renaissance of African red carpet and gave it another tag that competes equally to a rolled-out Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
Nnaji’s absence at the AMVCA for the last two seasons (2017-2018) does not erase her credibility as a crowd-pleaser on the red carpet. Her five costumes donned in the past merits her a seat at the table when running the best dressed stars of all-time menu. To those looking to take a leaf out of Nnaji’s AMVCA red carpet looks, we break it down in detail ahead of the ceremony’s comeback this Saturday.
The screen goddess debuted the AMVCAs red carpet with a canary yellow dress tastefully accessorized with a pair of drop earrings and a chunky clutch.
That same year saw an outfit change from the screen goddess. It was an all-white two piece featuring a plunging neckline with jeweled detailing at the midriff.
In 2014, the actress stunned in a Lisa Folawiyo dress.
