Actress and model Beverly Osu has ignited a fresh wave of discussion with her critical perspective on the evolving fashion direction at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
In a pointed tweet, Osu drew comparisons with international events, writing:
“While Cannes is setting boundaries by banning nudity and massive trains on the red carpet to refocus attention on actors and filmmakers, AMVCA is spiraling in the opposite direction. What was once a celebration of African cinematic excellence now looks like a masquerade parade.”
Her remarks have sparked renewed debate about the balance between glamour and substance on award show red carpets.
