South African star Ama Qamata is proving she’s more than just an on-screen sensation—she’s a rising global style icon.
The Gomora and Blood and Water actress nearly stole the spotlight at Paris Fashion Week on September 29, 2025, as she confidently owned the Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris runway in a bold red mini dress, matching heels, and her signature braids.
The glamorous showcase, held in front of the iconic Hôtel de Ville de Paris, celebrated women’s empowerment and sisterhood under the banner: “Liberty, Equality, Sisterhood, You’re Worth It.” Ama shared the stage with Hollywood legend Viola Davis, a moment that underscored her growing presence on the international stage.
Her runway appearance came just days after her unveiling as L’Oréal Paris’ Sub-Saharan Africa Ambassador at a Johannesburg launch on September 23. The appointment marks a career-defining milestone, aligning her influence with one of the world’s most powerful beauty brands.
In a campaign video for L’Oréal Paris, Ama reflected on the values that continue to guide her journey:
“Humanity, gratitude, and respect will get you far in life. Those three words weren’t just values, they were part of my upbringing. Now every room I walk in, every challenge I face, heels high, head even higher, I carry those words with me.”
Fans and fashion watchers praised her poise and confidence, applauding both her style and the global recognition of African talent she represents. Ama Qamata’s rise — from South African drama sets to Paris Fashion Week — is not just inspiring, it’s a statement of what’s to come.
