Every winner of Ghana’s Most Beautiful from 2021 to 2025 rocks an outfit that included a touch of red.
This fashion choice stood out across five seasons of the popular beauty pageant, which celebrates culture, confidence, and regional pride.
The winners came from different parts of Ghana, but their shared use of red created a visual link that caught the attention of viewers and fashion lovers alike.
Interestingly, some designers may choose red to highlight boldness or to honour tradition. In the case of these queens, red appeared in different forms—from kente patterns and beadwork to embroidery and flowing gowns. Each winner used the colour in her own way.
Fashion plays a big role in how contestants express themselves, and the final night is known for the dramatic, elegant outfits. That’s when the red details shine the most under the lights, in front of the judges, and across social media.
But over five years, the pattern has become clear. Red is more than a colour; it is a statement. It connects winners across time and space, showing that beauty, culture, and confidence can be stitched together in one bold shade.

Final-year students of the Accra Technical University (ATU) Department of Fashion Design and Textile Technology on Friday showcased their creativity and craftsmanship in Accra.
The annual event held under the theme: ‘Wear Your Culture: Tradition Meets Modernity,’ saw 366 students showcased various designs as part of their final year practical work.
Dean of the Faculty of Applied Arts, Professor George Agyei Osei, explained that the exhibition provided students with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and competencies they have acquired throughout their training.
Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts and former Head of Department of Fashion and Textile Technology, Dr Mrs Emma Donkor, said this year’s cohort comprised 366 students, with each student producing four designs, one of which was exhibited at the school’s auditorium while three were presented during the fashion show.
Mrs Donkor encouraged graduating students to build their businesses gradually, noting that a sewing machine and a small workspace could provide the foundation for a successful fashion enterprise.
One of the graduating students, Philipa Adu, said the theme was a reminder to designers not to blindly imitate Western fashion at the expense of African culture.
