The 91st Academy Awards [OSCARS] held Sunday 24, 2019, attracted celebrities from different continents, trust me Africans were not excluded as they storm the event with different attires.

The stars at this year’s event followed a sombre approach to style similar to last year; nothing over the top if we aren’t counting Billy Porter who showed out in a custom-made, dramatic Christian Siriano suit/ball gown.

The event was a colourful affair nonetheless we were on the look-out for our adorable stars of African heritage.

The African celebrities included Danai Gurira [Zimbabwe], Lupita Nyong’o [Kenya], Trevor Noah [South Africa], David Oyelowo [Nigeria], Charlize Theron [South Africa], Rami Malek [Eygpt], Bozoma Saint John [Ghana], Lola Ogunnaike [Nigeria] and a host of others.

We especially love how these stars rep the continent and also want to give a special shout out to Rami Malek who won the award for Best Actor making him the first Arab of African descent to do so.
