Big Brother Naija Season 10 stars attend the AMVCA 12 Cultural Night on 8th May 2026 showcasing regional styles ranging from Edo, Ijaw, and Yoruba to Northern Nigerian royalty.
The 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards is currently underway, and the festivities kicked off with the highly anticipated Cultural Night.
This evening is a vital celebration of the diverse heritage that defines the continent, providing a space for guests to pay homage to their roots through fashion. You bet that there is plenty of style on display as guests showcase the stories of their people, much like Ibrahim and Linda Ejiofor–Suleiman, who served a royal Edo look earlier in the night. Adding to the list of those making a statement are the stars of Big Brother Naija Season 10.
See how the BBNaija season 10 stars showed up tonight:
Dede: Representing the beauty of Delta State, Dede described her appearance as a reflection of modern heritage and pride. Eschewing Efik-inspired styles, she opted for a look that honours the storytellers and filmmakers shaping the African industry. Her attire features a wine-coloured velvet corset dress with floral lace and a dramatic floor-length silk cape.

Kaybobo: Drawing inspiration from the “ÒKÍN” (peacock), the king of birds, Kaybobo arrived in a look rooted in Yoruba luxury. He chose a vibrant green and purple Aso-Oke Agbada with green glass beads, symbolising royalty and a presence that is impossible to overlook.

Imisi: Wrapped in Adire and crowned in cowries, BBNaija S10 winner, Imisi, shared that her look represents the wealth and identity of a daughter of Yoruba soil. Her blue and white gown featured a woven mat on the shoulders, serving as a reminder that culture is something carried rather than just worn.
