By Esther Korantemaa Offei
The 2026 Ghana Movie Awards red carpet delivered a dazzling display of glamour, bold fashion choices and refined elegance as stars from Ghana’s film industry and beyond gathered to celebrate one of the country’s most prestigious nights in entertainment.
The event brought together some of the biggest names in the industry, including Nana Akua Addo, Hajia 4Reall, Yvonne Nelson, Nana Ama McBrown, and Juliet Ibrahim. Their presence added colour and prestige to a night that has become a major highlight on Ghana’s entertainment calendar. Nigerian actors such as Deyemi Okanlawon and Daniel Etim Effiong also attended, underscoring the growing creative ties between Ghana and Nigeria’s film industries.
From the moment guests arrived, the red carpet became a runway of creativity, with designers showcasing a wide range of styles that blended modern fashion trends with African-inspired aesthetics. Flowing gowns, sharply tailored suits and experimental designs dominated the evening, reflecting the evolving sophistication of Ghana’s entertainment fashion scene.
One of the most talked-about figures of the night was Nana Akua Addo, who once again demonstrated her reputation for bold and unconventional fashion statements. She made a striking appearance in a strapless forest green corseted gown featuring a hand-painted tie-dye effect designed by Mohammed Abbas Ossu. Later, she switched to a structured hot pink and red power suit paired with a sculptural fascinator designed by Mimi Yina of Medlin Boss, further cementing her status as a red carpet trendsetter.
Her appearance continued a pattern of highly creative fashion moments across major award shows, where she is known for embracing dramatic and artistic designs. Her previous appearances at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards also drew attention for similarly elaborate outfits, reinforcing her influence in African celebrity fashion culture.
The night also featured a strong representation of Ghanaian film stars who brought elegance and charisma to the event, contributing to an atmosphere that celebrated both talent and style. The presence of Nigerian actors further highlighted increasing collaboration and cultural exchange within the West African film industry.
Beyond the fashion highlights, the event served as a celebration of the Ghanaian film industry’s growth and regional influence. The red carpet moments reflected not only personal style but also the creativity and ambition driving African cinema forward.
As the curtains closed on the 2026 edition, attention has already shifted to future award seasons, with anticipation building around how stars will continue to push boundaries in fashion and entertainment.
