The event held even more meaning as it coincided with Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo, also receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, which she described as inspiring.
The philanthropist noted that being named alongside such prominent figures is not just an honor but a reminder of her responsibility to make a positive impact.
“I look forward to using this platform and award to further drive positive change, impact lives, and celebrate Africa’s rich cultural heritage,” the actress added, reaffirming her commitment to advocacy and philanthropy.
For the occasion, Ibrahim dressed to impress. She wore a gorgeous Ankara two-piece by designer Chuks Collins, which she proudly mentioned was fresh off the runway. The look featured a roomy-sleeved cropped top with a plunging neckline and a high-waisted maxi skirt.
The actress accessorized her ensemble with black heels, dangling earrings, and gold bangles and rings. Her look was further elevated with sophisticated makeup featuring a soft smoky eye, warm highlights, a chic brown lip, and long tousled hair, ensuring she stood out on such occasions.
Expressing her gratitude, Juliet thanked the creative team behind her look, saying, “Thank you @theoluwaseye for capturing these moments and @chukscollinsofficial for my gorgeous outfit straight off the #Runway.”
