The AMVCA, known as African Magic Viewers Choice Awards held its award show over the weekend and is an annual ceremony held to recognize outstanding achievements in film and television in the industry. It was inaugurated about 9 years ago and has been consistently done over the years.

This year's AMVCA had a lot of surprises in store as it was a battle of outfits and glamour and every celebrity was willing to outdo each other on the red carpet. There was an award for the best dressed anyway so more reason for everyone trying to make a statement with not just their art and achievements built also in their outfits. From elegance to beauty to hideous, all were present. Making a fashion statement seemed to be the major aim and a couple of people might just have gone overboard.  

Osas Ighodaro seemed to be the highlight of the night as she bagged two awards including that of the best dressed female and best actress in a drama. The single mom of one while receiving her awards gave all appreciation to God and credited her daughter as her biggest inspiration.    

 Adesuwa Etomi-Wellington, actress, singer and wife of musician and politician, Bankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W, seemed to gain a lot of beautiful comments on her outfit as it did exude elegance.    

 Bimbo Ademoye, actress with the "most tiny waist in Nollywood" as her fans would say, rightly slayed in red and was named as one of the best dressed by fans worldwide.       

 Etim Effiong, actor and father of two known as Akin in the just released Nollywood movie on Netflix, Blood Sisters, also graced the event with style.      

 Denola Grey, Stylist and model took the elegance theme to a whole new level and went ahead to win best dressed male at the awards night.      

 Erica Nlewedim, former Big brother Naija star known by her fans as "star girl Erica" also slayed beautifully in this dress which was reportedly made by a Poland designer and was claimed to be worth over 400,000 dollars. This caused quite a stir on social media platforms as fans questioned the worth of the outfit amounting to hundreds of millions of naira.  

Some outfits seemed to raise questions as well and one which seemed to be the most talked about is that of fashion designer and business mogul, Toyin Lawani. Though known as one to always come up with very "out of the blues" designs, a lot of fans couldn't quite place the statement being made in this, some others felt it did indeed make an excellent display of creativity.

 The AMVCAs just held definitely seems to be one that wouldn't be forgotten for a long time to come as it incorporated a mix of drama, creativity and splendour all in one night.
