For many, ankara has long been associated with Sunday wear or formal ceremonies, but Mercy Eke is changing that narrative.

Her appearance showed the versatility of African print. She posted the photos on Instagram with the caption, “It’s giving Ada Imo.”

The BBNaija Season 4 winner arrived in a two-piece matching set from Designs by Lezie featuring a sleeveless halter-neck top with a sharp collar and small keyhole cutouts down the center of the chest and an exposed midriff. She paired it with a high-waisted flared skirt with its hemline adorned with dangling white cowrie shells. Her outfit was in red African wax print fabric decorated with navy blue grid lines and a scattering of yellow, white, and black stars.

Mercy’s accessories were minimal and included a Dior top-handle bag in an emerald green colour, a thin gold chain necklace and bracelet. Her hair was styled in long deep waves in a honey-brown shade with a middle part. Her makeup consisted of warm tones and a glossy nude lip. For shoes, she wore crisp white pointed-toe heeled pumps, providing a clean contrast to the colourful outfit. Photography was by Kosi Lifestyle.

Her accessories are where it gets interesting, with her bag being the main highlight. Against the all-white outfit, she carried a square top-handle dusty-blue leather bag featuring distinct horizontal paneled flaps and a minimalist design, creating a contrast.
