Afrobeats star Adekunle Gold (AG Baby) turned the Ballon d’Or red carpet into his runway, arriving in a sharp Louis Vuitton double-breasted tuxedo that married timeless elegance with his signature edge.
The look was punctuated with a Vanguart luxury wristwatch, a symbol of precision and craftsmanship, while his bold choice of sport sunglasses from his own Tuffman brand added a layer of personal flair.

But behind the glamour lies momentum. Adekunle Gold is preparing for his next project, “Fuji”, an album that promises to reintroduce a genre that shaped Yoruba soundscapes to the global streaming generation. His artistry has always blended genres — highlife, Afrobeats, pop — and this pivot signals a bold re-rooting in heritage while keeping it fresh for the international stage.
Wearing Louis Vuitton to honor global luxury, Vanguart to celebrate precision, and Tuffman to stamp his own identity.
