When it comes to the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards( AMVCA), the women often dominate the headlines, and rightfully so. But this year, the men didn’t come to play. They came to slay. With confidence, charm, and a clear understanding of style as storytelling, these five men didn’t just show up, they showed out.
From perfectly tailored silhouettes to daring details that demanded a second look, they owned the carpet in a way that felt fresh, intentional, and downright fabulous, and I was loving it. These are the five men whose looks during AMVCA made me pause, smile, and say, “Yes, that’s how you do it.”
Mike Afolarin absolutely nailed it at the AMVCA 2025, and I couldn’t take my eyes off him- in a good way. He wore a tailored black suit that exuded effortless sophistication, but it was the white floral brooch that really elevated the look and added just the right touch of refinement.
Styled by Tinathan Official, every little detail was on point, showing just how much thought went into curating the perfect outfit. Mike’s red carpet presence was the perfect mix of classic elegance and modern flair, and he definitely stood out as one of the night’s most stylish men at this year’s AMVCA. It was a look that effortlessly captured his fashion-forward sensibility!
Let’s talk about Ebuka Obi-Uchendu for a second, or maybe for a whole minute, because this man doesn’t just attend events; he announces his presence. The seasoned host of Big Brother Naija showed up at the AMVCA 2025 looking like the moment. Styled by the ever-iconic Mai Atafo, Ebuka wore a custom black tuxedo that was anything but ordinary.It had “E B U K A X A T A F O” boldly printed all over it, and I mean all over. Now, this isn’t just a name drop, it’s a fashion statement. And just when you think that’s where it ends, boom! He opens the tux to reveal a crisp white shirt with the same prints, a whole branding moment layered in sophistication. The contrast between the monochrome elements gave that sharp, bold elegance he’s known for. Ebuka didn’t come to play, and honestly, would it even be an AMVCA red carpet without him setting the bar?
IK Ogbonna, because whew, he understood the assignment and submitted it in 4K. This man stepped onto 2025 AMVCA carpet in a custom green and black look that screamed confidence without trying too hard. And then he topped it all off with a black walking stick and dark sunglasses? I mean, the swag practically dripped off him. It gave vintage don energy, mixed with just the right amount of red carpet finesse. IK didn’t just wear an outfit, he brought a whole attitude with him. And that’s what makes a look memorable. It’s not just the clothes, it’s the conviction. He delivered. No notes.
Now Enioluwa Adeoluwa? Dear, he didn’t walk the AMVCA red carpet, he owned it. The digital creator and EU-Africa ambassador turned heads with his signature flair for the dramatic, dressed in an all-black look that was nothing short of a theatrical fashion moment. His velvet shirt, tailored to perfection, had this structured shoulder and dramatic pleating that gave me high fashion runway meets gothic poetry. The beadwork at the end of the sleeves? Subtle, yes, but so beautifully done. And then he took it up another notch with a black top hat, gloves, and a cross-shaped brooch. Honestly, it was giving “fashion noir” in the best way. Enioluwa doesn’t do boring. He always shows up like he’s telling a story with his clothes, and this time, the story was bold, mysterious, and beautifully executed.
And then there was Saga Adeolu, who literally shimmered his way onto the scene. I cannot get over that iridescent suit, an electric mix of green and blue that shifted with every step he took. It was giving ocean waves under moonlight, honestly. But the real showstopper? That blue sculptural piece draped around his lapels. It wasn’t just a detail, it was a full-blown floral art piece, delicately folded like a bloom in motion. I kept looking at it trying to figure out if it was fabric or origami. Whatever it was, it was genius. It turned what could’ve been a sleek red carpet moment into a visual masterpiece. Saga knew exactly what he was doing. He didn’t just dress to impress, he dressed to express, and it worked.
In a world where men’s fashion is too often boxed into safe, predictable choices, these five style stars reminded us that boldness has no gender and elegance has no limit. They brought attitude, artistry, and a deep understanding of what it means to wear a look, not just put it on.
Whether it was through intricate tailoring, unexpected fabrics, or a confident strut that said, “I know I look good,” these men redefined AMVCA 2025 red carpet menswear on their own terms.
