These celebrities exemplified the fusion of traditional Ghanaian aesthetics with modern fashion trends, making the TGMA 2025 red carpet a memorable affair.

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, fashion consultant Tosin Olorunmola shared her thoughts on the overall fashion theme at the 2025 TGMA.

"The 26 Telecel Ghana Music Awards red carpet was a bold celebration of Ghanaian fashion and cultural expression."

"With the theme 'Proudly Made in Ghana', the event placed a spotlight on local artistry and identity."

"Designers and guests embraced traditional aesthetics with a modern twist. From rich fabrics to daring cuts, the night was filled with visual storytelling."
"A clear trend was the avant-garde approach — experimental, theatrical, and conceptual. While many aimed high with their designs, not all landed the execution. Only a few truly balance creativity with craftsmanship."
"That said, the intention to break fashion norms was loud and clear. Another trend that stood out was the dominance of classic blacks."
"Black anchored the carpet with timeless elegance. The red carpet showed Ghana's fashion scene evolving, unafraid to challenge itself."
"There was pride, personality, and a strong desire to be globally recognised. Though not without its misses, TGMA 2025 proved that fashion in Ghana is not playing it safe. It’s pushing, trying, and slowly refining its voice in the African fashion narrative."

YEN.com.gh has compiled a list of the best-dressed celebrities on the red carpet at the invite-only event.
