A dinner party was held on Saturday 17th March in Gambia to announce the nominees in this year's African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).
As expected the stars came out and strutted their stuff on the runway and Ghanaian actress Jackie Appiah looked elegant in this lovely red gown. Her friend also wore an identical gown . Who looked more stylish in red?
