Angelique Kidjo’s Bold Raffia Sleeves Redefine Birthday Glam
Music legend Angelique Kidjo celebrated her birthday in a custom red gown by Paris-based Cameroonian couturier Imane Ayissi. The sleek high neckline and clean lines create a minimalist base for the show-stopping sleeves. Layers of vibrant red raffia fan out in dramatic sculptural shapes. The architectural details transform a familiar natural fibre into wearable art. She balanced the look with a sky-blue tie-dye headwrap that nods to West African traditions. Gold hoops and a berry lip finish the portrait without stealing the spotlight from Imane Ayissi’s design.
