Aubameyang drew criticism on Twitter for wearing a sports cap and t-shirt.
"When you arrive for the ceremony.... and they lost our baggage!! So that's how we dress tonight. Thanks Lufthansa," he wrote on Instagram.
Fellow player of the year nominees Riyad Mahrez, who won, and Sadio Mane were dressed in formal suits.
Borussia Dortmund striker Aubameyang was runner-up with Senegal and Liverpool striker Mane third.
CAF spokesman Junior Binyam added: "Aubameyang only arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Abuja an hour before the event without his bags, as they were missing in transit. That was why he dressed that way."
