Ghanaian lawyer Gifty Dumelo, wife of Ayawaso West Wuogun MP John Dumelo, recently attended the wedding of Siegfried and Afrakoma, turning heads as a bridesmaid in a stunning butter-yellow beaded long-sleeved kente gown. The elegant ensemble, paired with an orange headwrap, was impossible to ignore. The wedding, which took place on an unspecified date, featured a traditional ceremony, white wedding, and reception. Gifty Dumelo's refined kente moment was one of the most memorable style moments of the event.
The bride, Amanda, a Ghanaian lawyer, dazzled in three show-stopping outfits across her traditional and white wedding ceremonies. For the traditional ceremony, Amanda wore an off-shoulder corseted ombre kente gown that swept the floor, paired with a centre-parted coiled hairstyle, clean and luminous makeup, and star-shaped earrings and bangles. This look showcased bridal glamour with a deeply Ghanaian sensibility.
The reception brought a change of pace, with Amanda switching into a white long-sleeved lace gown that flattered her figure beautifully. She opted for a Barbie-inspired hairstyle and long drop silver earrings that echoed the delicate detailing in the dress. The polished and romantic look was evident as she cut her wedding cake.
Amanda made a grand final entrance, wearing a glittering red tassel dress that showed off her legs as she moved. Taking to the dancefloor, she swirled and danced through what was clearly a night to remember. This three-act fashion showcase by Amanda, combined with Gifty Dumelo's kente moment, delivered some of the most memorable style moments Ghana's social scene has seen recently.
