TGMAs new red carpet rules
To ensure greater order and professionalism at the 2025 edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs), organisers Charterhouse have reportedly introduced new restrictions for the red carpet segment.
In a bid to refine the experience, access to the red carpet will be limited strictly to officially invited celebrities and dignitaries. According to Charterhouse, there would be two distinct red carpet segments: a general session for media interactions and photoshoots, and a main session designed for televised coverage, including fashion-focused interviews.
Only those with formal invitations will be allowed on the main red carpet, which will be broadcast live. The TGMA red carpet has often sparked controversy in past editions, with many critics calling out poor fashion choices, disorganised segments, and a lack of exclusivity.
In 2024, industry personalities such as Michael Ola and Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) voiced their disappointment over the execution of the red carpet event, citing the inclusion of uninvited guests and lack of style curation as major flaws.
