If there is one thing we know about Nana Akua Addo, aside from the fact she’s the ultimate fashion queen in Ghana and a major threat to most of her counterparts, is that she does not play when it comes to the red carpet. Known for her erratic nature of public appearances, wherever or whenever she appears, Nana brings the drama, the glamour, and everything in between. She commands all the attention on the red carpet. And for that reason, we wouldn’t even bother showing up if we were asked to share the spotlight with her.
There was no difference at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards last night, which gathered and celebrated the rising stars at the Accra International Conference Centre. For the occasion, the Ghanaian actress wore a breathtaking, custom red gown by YARTEL, a Ghana-based label, and celebrity favorite beloved by Joselyn Dumas. From one side, it looked like a mini dress, and on the other side, a complete, long gown that grazes the floor.

Nana’s dress was aesthetically pleasing featuring an enormous and dramatic shoulder, hourglass waist, and gathered hemline. She paired the couture gown with matching a pair of towering heels sandals, and her hair pulled back into a low bun — showing off her traffic-stopping false lashes and full-on makeup.
“Red Carpet Shenanigans. It’s that time of the year again ❤️,” the actress wrote while sharing the video of her look.

Before the event, she also gave fans a behind-the-scenes look of her glam team prepping her for the show. “Getting ready for VGMA Guess The Ghanaian Designer Am Wearing Tonight?” she asked.
