Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Queen Mercy Atang, may be heading for a global record conversation after Guinness World Records reacted to her viral bread-inspired outfit worn at the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Sunday, Guinness World Records reacted in the comment section saying, “Well, we do have a record for the largest cake dress … hmmm.”
Reacting to the comment, the reality star wrote, “Hello @guinnessworldrecords, I see you in the comment section.”
The development has further amplified conversations about her unconventional AMVCA appearance, which continues to dominate social media and fashion discussions days after the event.
The record was achieved by Natasha Coline Kim Fah Lee Fokas of SweetyCakes GmbH in Bern, Switzerland, on January 15, 2023.
Queen’s bread-themed costume had earlier sparked widespread reactions online after she appeared on the AMVCA red carpet in an outfit resembling loaves of bread, complete with a matching prop.
Explaining the inspiration behind the look, Queen said the outfit reflected her entrepreneurial journey in the food business. On Monday, the reality star also proposed the introduction of a special entrepreneurs-focused event at the AMVCA.
In an open letter addressed to MultiChoice Group and Africa Magic, she wrote, “Just a thought, since we already have the AMVCA Cultural Day and other special events before the main award night, would it be possible to create a special night dedicated to entrepreneurs in Nigeria to showcase their brands, creativity, and impact?
“Imagine AMVCA Nigerian Entrepreneurs Night. Massive, classy, and inspiring.”
The bread dress has since attracted international attention, with foreign fashion influencers and media platforms reportedly discussing the concept.
