The year begun with an awful controversy for Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe over a beautiful red dress she wore for her birthday photoshoot. In response to the controversial red dress designed by Maryam Elisha which was meant for an intending bride, she penned down a short note on her Instagram page;
“I have followed events as they unfold following a particular dress I wore for a photoshoot. First, I must say that I sincerely SYMPATHIZE with the bride as this situation is painful, unfortunate and regrettably avoidable.
I hired and paid Seun @styledbyseun for the photoshoot as a stylist and got four dresses for the shoot. Seun and I were unaware that one of the dresses was meant for someone else.
I am embarrassed that the designer was not professional enough in handling events leading to this moment.
It is also painful that a bride is made to go through what the bride has been made to go through. I have reached out to both the stylist and designer (whom I have never met nor HIRED directly) to express my displeasure.
I have instructed my lawyer to look into this and see how best to approach this from a legal point of view without festering an already open wound. Thanks.”
