Much like every other African woman, Mercy Aigbe occasionally rocks African prints ensembles and has been known to opt for statement-making styles just like her red carpet looks. And stepping out for a social event over the weekend, Mercy chose a vibrant, gorgeous Ankara dress with unexpected detailing, and it basically looked like all eyes were on the actress upon arriving at the event in this get-up.
The clingy dress was designed by her favorite local designer Anjy Luminee and featured a massive bow-like detail at the thigh, which she paired with ankle strappy heels with her head wrapped up in a matching African head-tie (a.k.a Gele). The chic look could be described as stunning and very African.

Meanwhile, her designer also took to social media to rave about the dress, posting a video of the actress flaunting the dress from all angles. As shared by the Lagos-based designer, “This DRESS is Hot, Absolutely Gorgeous 👌👌👌🔥💋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”
Mercy’s social media fans have also praised the actress for the stunning look, so you can consider the beautiful confection as your latest Ankara style inspiration.
