AFRIMA Red Carpet Promises Sizzling Fashion and Pan-African Flair

LAGOS— Africa’s music elite will dazzle under the spotlight Sunday as the 9th All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) unleashes its most glamorous Red Carpet yet at Eko Convention Centre.

From 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM WAT, charismatic Nigerian influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa, better known as Eni, teams up with Kenyan actress Claudia Naisabwa to welcome stars, blending charm, wit, and continental energy before the 7 PM main ceremony.

Style hawks Tosyn of Style Infidel and Ariane Celeste Moua stand ready to dissect every gown, suit, and bold statement. Tosyn’s sharp commentary and Ariane’s elegant breakdowns promise viral moments, capturing the fusion of music, fashion, and African swagger.

Eni, a social media sensation, actor, and producer whose infectious vibe has millions hooked, pairs perfectly with Claudia’s poised Kenyan star power. “Expect colour, class, and unforgettable moments,” teases AFRIMA Associate Producer Victoria Nkong. This line-up embodies AFRIMA’s mission: marrying beats with couture on a global canvas, spotlighting African designers and artists’ unapologetic creativity.

The Red Carpet isn’t just pre-show pageantry, it’s a cultural runway where identities shine, Nkong emphasises, amplifying talents to viewers in 84+ countries.

AFRIMA’s January 7-11 festival has already lit up Lagos. Wednesday’s British High Commission Welcome Soiree feted nominees; Thursday’s Africa Music Business Summit tackled industry futures; Friday’s Music Village at Ikeja City Mall rocked with 25+ top acts and DJs. Sunday’s live-broadcast climax crowns the continent’s sounds.

As stars glide in, Tosyn and Ariane will pounce on hits and risks, think shimmering ankara twists, daring Nollywood flair, and East African prints stealing the show.

The award will reach its peak on Sunday, January 11, with the Main Awards Ceremony. The event will be transmitted live to viewers in over 84 countries across the world.
