AMVCA 12: Guinness World Records reacts to Queen Mercy Atang’s bread-inspired outfit
Guinness World Records has reacted to a viral bread-themed outfit worn by former Big Brother Naija housemate, Queen Mercy Atang, at the 12th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), triggering global conversations around creative fashion and branding.
In a post on Instagram cited by The Punch, Guinness World Records responded in the comment section, saying: “Well, we do have a record for the largest cake dress … hmmm.” The comment has since fuelled online debate over whether the outfit could inspire a record-category conversation.
Queen Mercy Atang appeared at the AMVCA red carpet in an elaborate costume designed to resemble loaves of bread, complete with a matching prop. The outfit quickly went viral across social media platforms, with mixed reactions from audiences and fashion commentators.
While some critics described the outfit as excessive, others, including branding and public relations experts, said it was a strategic marketing move that successfully amplified attention to her bakery business and personal brand.
The development has continued to trend online, reinforcing ongoing debates around “statement fashion” at entertainment events and the growing influence of social media-driven publicity in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
