Lookman arrived at the event venue in the company of his family members, including his father and mother.
The arena took an electric turn as the Lookmans made their way into the main auditorium shortly before the start of the event.
The 27-year-old was incredible at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, where he scored three goals in the knockout phase.
Lookman netted a brace against Cameroon in the second round and then grabbed the only goal against Angola in the quarterfinal.
He single-handedly led Atalanta to the Europa League title when he netted a hat-trick in their 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the final.
Many have tipped him to win the ultimate prize on the night, but his arrival in green Agbada has set the social media space agog.
