You need to put pictures, some of us are lazy :icon lol::icon lol::icon lol:

Too much work. I voted for Sahelians. They have the fanciest traditional attires of all.

I voted for Somalis (most beautiful), but the most unique cultural attire is from the Dogon people of West Africa.

Perhaps eliminate the more vague categories such as "Coastal West Africans", "Central Africans", and "other Cushites"...it's hard to find distinct wedding look for them.
 
For women, definitely Habesha (all cultures from Tigray to Harari to Bilen).

For men, I'd say Nigerian.

I like habesha women's attire. it's simple yet elegant looking.

I also like the cape thing they wear for weddings.

I'm not sure what the men's traditional wear is though:cosbyhmm:
