India Amarteifio went home to Ghana, and her fans showed up in the comments. On Oct. 21 the 25-year-old posted photos and videos from Accra with a five-word caption: “25 years later, I am home!” By the next day it had passed 72,000 likes, and Ghanaian fans answered with “Akwaabaaaa” and “Our very own Queen Charlotte” (YEN.com.gh, Pulse Ghana). It caps the busiest year she has had since Queen Charlotte: a Cannes premiere, a BBC thriller, two film-festival premieres this autumn, and a boyfriend she still keeps almost entirely off the carpet.

“25 years later, I am home!”
The Accra post is a carousel. In one shot she poses in a narrow lane between blue walls in a white vest and blue sports shorts. In another she wears a red top with an African-print skirt, and there are clips from an art-filled space full of sculptures and crafts (Pulse Ghana). One fan wrote that the skirt-and-shirt combo on slide 4 had them “in a chokehold.” Another joked, “I hope you won’t need help climbing over walls here” (YEN.com.gh).
Two days before that, she posted a video of herself singing PJ Morton and Yebba’s Grammy-winning “How Deep Is Your Love,” captioned: “‘How deep is your love’. But like…. how deep?” (Phenomenal).
Who is India Amarteifio dating?
She is with musician Henry Stock, and they are low-key about it. They have never walked a red carpet together. They confirmed the relationship in a TikTok filmed by a street-interview dating show: India told the camera Henry was her boyfriend, said the secret was “communication,” and Henry added, “Just care for each other.” They said they had been dating for a year and a half. Their first public outing was Wimbledon in 2024, and they went back on July 4, 2025 (Just Jared). No split has been reported since.
The rumour that will not die is India and her Queen Charlotte co-star Corey Mylchreest. Fans shipped them hard after the show, and the two were at Wimbledon together in 2023. But reports have always described them as friends, and Mylchreest told Extra he binged Bridgerton with his girlfriend when he got the part (Distractify, Just Jared).
The Clarissa buzz
Her big 2026 move is Clarissa, Arie and Chuko Esiri’s reimagining of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway, set in Lagos and shot on 35mm in Nigeria. She plays young Clarissa and Sophie Okonedo plays her decades later, with David Oyelowo, Toheeb Jimoh, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Ayo Edebiri around them. It got a standing ovation at its Directors’ Fortnight premiere in Cannes (Deadline), and RogerEbert.com called her “the captivating India Amarteifio” (RogerEbert.com). Then this happened:
She told Time and Leisure the film was “my dream job – working in film, which I’ve never done before, on the continent where half of my heritage is from.” She added that making an arthouse film “has always been a dream and feels like a direction I’d like to go in” (Time and Leisure). The film played AFI Fest on Oct. 24 (AFI Fest).

1. Vanity Fair EE Rising Star pre-BAFTA party
London, Feb. 2, 2023

6. Queen Charlotte London fan screening
London, April 21, 2023
For the London fan screening she wore Sabina Bilenko Couture (Red Carpet Fashion Awards).
7. Queen Charlotte world premiere
Westwood, Los Angeles, April 26, 2023
The look that made fashion pages fall for her: a semi-sheer gold Elie Saab gown with a fitted bodice, bows and heavy embellishment, styled by Holly White. Hello! called it “regency glamour” (Hello!, photos).
8. EE BAFTA Film Awards 2024
Royal Festival Hall, London, Feb. 18, 2024

9. Fashion-month afterparty, pre-loved from eBay
Autumn 2024
Her brief to stylist Holly White was “Red, maybe grungy, and pre-loved.” The answer was a strapless ’90s Jean Paul Gaultier dress in the designer’s tattoo print, Maison Ernest sandals, a Jimmy Choo clutch and a Tiffany & Co. choker, all found on eBay, with an oxblood trench for the ride over (British Vogue).
10. Stella McCartney Spring-Summer 2025 show

A red David Koma Pre-Fall 2026 dress with a bubble hem, draped panels and flower appliqués at the neck, plus matching red flower earrings (The Fashionista Stories).
15. Clarissa premiere, BFI London Film Festival
London, October 2026
The divisive one. She wore Cult Gaia, and Tom + Lorenzo hated it: “It’s a fancy mop head but at least the color is nice.” (Tom + Lorenzo).
16. The Blacklisted Honours
London, Oct. 13, 2026
A Nigerian label for a big London night: Hertunba’s Ure woven skirt in gold and black stripes with the matching halter Mowa top, from the Akaoru (“handwoven”) collection (StyleVitae).
What she says about herself
On being “a bit of a granny”: “I’m naturally quite routine-based, and I have to let that go in the workplace. So when I can, I stick to very mundane activities to feel some level of normality.” That means gardening, reading, running, tennis, and “yomping around somewhere in Surrey” (Time and Leisure).
On landing Queen Charlotte: “I had just turned 20… I’m quite glad the enormity of it hadn’t really set in while we were filming, because I think it would have really shaken me.” She says the role “shaped me to be a lot more confident and comfortable in my skin as a woman now” (Time and Leisure).
On her mum: she calls her mother her biggest influence: “a single mother raising two daughters on not much money, putting our needs above hers, and running a business by herself” (Time and Leisure).
On being a role model: “I would never expect anyone to look up to me. That creates pressure, and an image that may not be real. Like everyone, I’m imperfect” (Time and Leisure).
On The Rapture: her BBC One thriller aired July 26 to Aug. 9, 2026. She told Radio Times the dark material was hard to shake: “I really struggled with that as I’m quite an empath and I think I take on a lot of emotion” (Radio Times, BBC). She and co-star Ruth Madeley did the sofa on The One Show with RuPaul to promote it:
On theatre: “I’ve never done theatre as an adult, so that would be exciting” (Time and Leisure).
My take
India Amarteifio dresses like someone who actually likes clothes: a self-made Cannes dress, a pre-loved Gaultier off eBay, a Nigerian label at the Blacklisted Honours, and the occasional swing-and-miss like that Cult Gaia mop. Off the carpet she is a self-confessed granny who gardens, and she keeps her boyfriend out of every photo she can. Next up: Clarissa in December, and the indie career she keeps saying she wants. I’m watching. — Nico Grey
