Adekunle Gold (AG Baby) knows how to make an entrance. The Nigerian singer stepped out in a sharply tailored black tuxedo for the 2026 Ballon d’Or celebrations, bringing his signature polish to one of football’s biggest nights.
The singer embraced classic eveningwear in a double-breasted tuxedo featuring wide satin lapels, paired with a crisp white pleated shirt and black bow tie. A blue-stone brooch, gold hoop earrings, statement ring and dark oval sunglasses added personality to the otherwise traditional look.
He completed the ensemble with a luxury wristwatch and polished black patent shoes, proving that a well-executed black-tie outfit needs little embellishment to make an impression.
Beyond his red-carpet appearance, Adekunle Gold reportedly entertained guests at the official after-party with performances of “Party No Dey Stop” and “Coco Money.”
The appearance marks another international moment for the Afrobeats star, who also attended the 2025 ceremony in Paris.
For Adekunle Gold, the occasion brought together two things he does particularly well: music and personal style. And this time, his understated approach to formalwear was enough to command attention.
