Idris Elba looked great in his kente cloth drip as he attended the first Akwasidae festival of the year in Ghana on February 5.

The British actor, 50, donned a kente drape which slightly revealed part of his toned chest. The fabric on his torso displayed the colorful boldness of the traditional African fabric style and its Ghanaian roots. Idris rocked the look with gold accessories, including a chunky bracelet, watch and rings.

His wife Sabrina Elbra wrote “My African King” under a snapshot posted on her Instagram stories from the Luther star in his African garb.
