The VGMA 2023 red carpet was filled with glamorous and daring looks from some of Ghana’s biggest music stars. While some of the looks were a hit, others missed the mark.
As a music event, guests can play with concepts and themes that align with their own styles.
Red carpets have become a global platform for creating fashion moments that resonate beyond borders and the VGMA Red Carpet is no exception.
They have cultivated numerous style icons, sparked innovative fashion trends, and transformed what was once just an awards prelude into, arguably, the highlight of the event.
Nonetheless, there are several areas in which the organization of the red carpet could be improved.
Attendees have expressed their dissatisfaction with the inadequate crowd control measures, the usage of a single pathway as both an entrance and exit point, poor air circulation, and cramped space for other media organizations to operate from.
Perhaps it’s time for Charterhouse as an organization to look into how the Recording Academy manages its red carpet system and incorporate similar strategies into its own events.
By studying and adapting successful red carpet systems from other organizations, Charterhouse could enhance the experience for both attendees and media alike.
Here’s a breakdown of the best and worst looks from the night.

Anita gave Kente fashion a new meaning as she stole the show with her corseted Kente dress with a low bun fastened at the nape of her neck. She was styled by Adwoa Yeboah Clothing
Berla

Berla won on Saturday and no one can tell us otherwise. All 3 looks communicated with the audience. From her Cleopatra look with a hoodie designed by Yartel to her moulded body suit, there was enough to gawk over. Our jaws are still on the ground from shock.

Despite James Gardiner’s terrible hosting skills, he gave the red carpet something to love in his black kimono look over a white shirt. It might be different but it worked quite well

Naa Ashorkor sought the help of Ghanaian couturier, Pistis Ghana to design a 3D butterfly gown with a side train for her co-hosting gig. It evoked the spirit of the event; classy, stylish and fun.

TV host, Ms Flava was easily one of our best dressed; looking stunning in a black gown that hugged her curves in all the right places.
The simple yet elegant look was topped off with a bead ball tip fringe adorning the shoulders and delicate floral appliqué embellishing the neckline.
The subtle red lip and minimal accessories made her a standout on the red carpet.
Camidoh

The Afrobeats star looked dapper in a floral print tuxedo jacket and black pants.
The look was simple yet classic, and the addition of a black bowtie and patent leather dress shoes completed the ensemble.
Whoever styled Camidoh knew exactly how to endear him to a new set of female fans and it’s exciting to see him become a ‘sex symbol’
Adwoa Noella

Adwoa Noella caught our eyes and we’ve taken full notice of this damsel moving forward. A beaded kente gown with feathered epaulettes.
It gave couture without her trying so hard.
Sarkodie
Sarkodie redefined mensfashion with his minimalist take on suits. His Casablanca blazer matched with sneakers and jewellery was definitely red carpet-worthy
