Whether it’s red carpet, on social media or just wearing her figure-hugging getups, Nancy Isime is always a stunner, but it’s no secret she absolutely stunned at Uganda’s 2024 iKON Awards on Saturday (March 23).

The iKON Awards recognizes and celebrates game-changers in film and television and Isime alongside some other Nollywood actors arrived in Kampala, the capital city of the East African country for the annual event. For the star-studded ceremony which also had the attendance of the biggest faces in the Uganda film and television industry, Isimi wore a custom design by a Nigerian fashion brand, Ateni. 

The look, a gorgeous dress made entirely with cowrie shells, featuring a high neck with a heart-shaped cleavage cutout. The Nigerian actress accessorized the look with a matching cowrie purse, headpiece, earrings, and bangles. She wore a pair of barely-there-heeld sandals and sported her famous blonde short haircut with a glamorous makeup look.

The 32-year-old Nigerian TV host and actor was nominated for the category Africa Rising Star Award, thanks to her performances in movies such as Obara’M, Superstar, Kambili: The Whole 30 Yards, Teni’s Big Day, and so on. Nominated in the category were other contenders including an actor from Uganda, Ghana, and South Africa, but she ended up snagging up the award. 

“AFRICA RISING STAR ✨,” Isime wrote on Instagram while sharing photos and videos from the event. “In order to achieve world dominance, one must first dominate their roots. One step at a time, One day at a time, One Intentional Seed at a time. Soon, the Global Stage will be home to Us🪄
Proudly Nigerian, Proudly African 👑. Thank you @ikonawards , Thank you Uganda ❤️. God remains the Greatest🙏🏼!
