Former Big Brother Naija housemate Queen Mercy Atang may have sparked talks of a potential global record after Guinness World Records reacted to the viral bread-inspired outfit she wore to the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
In a video posted on her Instagram page on Sunday, Guinness World Records reacted in the comment section, writing, “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 fueled conversations surrounding her unconventional AMVCA appearance, which has continued to dominate social media and fashion debates days after the event.
According to Guinness World Records, the current record for the world’s largest wearable cake dress is 131.15kg (289lb 13oz).
The feat 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 designed to resemble loaves of bread, complete with a matching prop.
Explaining the inspiration behind the look, Queen said the outfit symbolised her entrepreneurial journey in the food business.
