Actress and media figure Ama K. Abebrese has ignited a new discussion online after criticising some celebrity fashion choices from the 27th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) red carpet.
In a post shared on May 10, 2026, the day following the awards ceremony, the actress implied that some celebrities deliberately choose controversial outfits to gain attention and trend online.
“I think it’s safe to assume that a lot of people dress terribly on purpose to trend on the red carpet, because what is this?” she wrote.
Her remarks followed a surge of reactions on social media regarding the outfits showcased at this year’s TGMA ceremony, which took place at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday, May 9.
Before the event, the organisers revealed “A Touch of Glitter” as the official red carpet theme, urging guests to adopt glamorous and imaginative fashion styles.
While some celebrities received accolades for their looks and interpretation of the theme, others encountered significant criticism online.
Ama K. Abebrese’s comments quickly attracted attention across various social media platforms, with numerous users concurring that some red carpet appearances seemed more concerned with shock value than with style or creativity.
Conversely, some defended the celebrities in question, contending that fashion is a matter of personal taste and that red carpet appearances are often intended to challenge norms and provoke discussion.
The actress’s post has contributed to ongoing conversations about celebrity fashion culture in Ghana and the increasing pressure on public figures to generate viral moments during significant entertainment events.
Despite the criticism directed at certain outfits, the TGMA red carpet remained one of the most significant highlights of the awards night, sparking discussions that extend well beyond the ceremony itself.
