Feelin it or Nah?: Ball Gown Looks at the 2017 AMVCA's

The 2017 Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA's) went down last weekend and was attended my many of top African celebrities. Of course with all award shows comes red carpet fashions, and this year the celebrities definitely did not disappoint!

Out of the many glam looks that came down the red carpet, two in particular stood out to me. They both are very bold ball gown looks with a lot of intricate details worn by Ghanaian Actress Nana Akau Addo and Nigerian musician Toni Tones.

Check them out and let me know if you feelin them or nah?...

Nana Akua Addo


Nana is in a couture gold gown by Filipino designer Leo Almodal, adorned with Swarovski crystals, rosde petal embellishments and a dramatic pleated skirt. Talk about Bling Bling!



Toni Tones

Toni Tones is in a purple ball gown by Nigerian designer Yemi Shoyemi, with a sweetheart neckline and tiny tulle ruffled details on the skirt bottom. With all the intricate ruffled details, the designer has said that it took 4 months four the dress to be completed.


I'm not so much a fan of ball gowns, however do find that both dresses have some really nice design elements. I really like the top of both dresses and am feelin' the drama of the bottom, however, I'm still on the fence about each complete looks. They both definitely stood out and slayed the red carpet though!

So, you feelin' them or nah? Which look do you like better?
