## Caption

The red carpet almost turned into a bakery for Africa's biggest night in film and fashion.
 
Reality TV star Queen Mercy Atang arrived at the Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) in Nigeria in one of the evening's most attention-grabbing looks, a dress made from more than 500 loaves of bread. 
 
She said the outfit was designed to promote her bread-baking business and was intentional marketing. 
 
Toyin Lawan of Tiannah's Empire, who designed the dress, commented on Instagram that she's beginning a trend of "everyone wear your business".
 
Some social media fans hailed the design but not all fans were impressed, some said the display represented a waste of food, a suggestion the reality TV star rejected.
