Idia Aisien’s AMVCA Look Honours Nollywood Legends with Powerful Fashion Tribute

This year at the AMVCAs, renowned actress, TV host, and philanthropist Idia Aisien turned heads—not just with style, but with purpose.

In a stunning display of creativity and homage, Idia’s first look was a breathtaking all-white gown by Ambaosa, dramatically adorned with vivid red roses—a symbolic gesture of “giving them their flowers” to honour the late, great figures of Nollywood who paved the way. Subtly powerful and visually striking, the custom creation featured projected images of beloved icons including Onyeka Onwenu, Saint Obi, Justice Esiri, Francis Agu, Amaka Igwe, and more.

The fusion of fashion and technology through projection mapping transformed the dress into a living tribute, evoking emotion and reflection on a red carpet often reserved for glamour alone.

For her second appearance at the AMVCAs, Idia switched gears with a bold, fire-themed ensemble—symbolizing resilience, rebirth, and the fiery spirit of the Nollywood industry. The sultry silhouette, also designed by Ambaosa, showcased Idia’s fashion versatility and deep appreciation for storytelling through style.
