Renowned Nigerian fashion designer Toyin Lawani, the creative force behind Tiannah Styling, has unveiled fascinating details about a standout outfit worn by Big Brother Naija alumna Queen Mercy Atang at the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
The star-studded event, held on Saturday, May 10, in Lagos, saw celebrities dazzle on the red carpet—but it was Atang’s dress that truly captured attention.
Taking to social media, Lawani revealed that the dress was meticulously crafted using a staggering one million safety pins. She proudly highlighted the innovation behind the design, describing it as a reflection of her trademark creativity and artistic flair.
Lawani emphasized her role as a fashion pioneer, explaining how she transformed everyday objects into an extraordinary piece of wearable art. She noted that many admirers didn’t immediately realize that safety pins were the primary material in the outfit’s construction.
The designer shared that bringing the intricate vision to life required a team of 16 skilled artisans, along with hours of detailed planning and precision work. Lawani also teased that more behind-the-scenes insights into the dress—worn by the now-married reality TV star—would soon be shared with fans.
