Nomzamo Mbatha turned the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards into a full-on style showcase at AMVCA 2026, serving up five standout looks while co-hosting the ceremony in Lagos. The South African actress and media personality brought major red-carpet energy to the weekend event at the Eko Hotel and Suites, where she delivered what many viewers are calling a fashion masterclass from start to finish.
Taking the stage alongside Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma, Nomzamo impressed not only with her hosting presence, but also with a rapid series of wardrobe changes that kept the spotlight on her. Each transformation was presented as a carefully planned fashion moment, with outfits curated to highlight some of the most talked-about talent in Nigerian design.
Over the course of the night, the star stepped out in multiple ensembles, each one crafted by leading Nigerian fashion houses. Her looks were designed by Veekee James, Tubo, Emagine by Bukola, House of Dova, and House of Marvee—brands that each brought their own signature mix of elegance, shape, and glamour to the AMVCA runway.
Whether she wore sculpted silhouettes or opted for pieces with a more fluid, couture feel, Nomzamo’s styling balanced sophistication with a clear celebration of African creativity. By the time the night wrapped, her fashion choices had become a major talking point in the room and online.
After the ceremony, admiration poured in as fans, followers, and industry colleagues flooded her social media pages with praise. Many highlighted her versatility, her poise in front of the cameras, and her commitment to putting African designers in the spotlight during one of the continent’s biggest nights in entertainment.
Photos from the looks were shared through posts connected to the designers behind the outfits, including Veekee James, House of Dova, House of Marvee, DOA (Dahmola), and TUBO.
