The movie premiere of Funke Akindele’s “A Tribe Called Judah” embraced a lively atmosphere with the theme “Costume Party Extravaganza.” Attendees were encouraged to dress as their favorite stars, and one celebrity who truly embodied the theme was none other than Mercy Eke. The reality star took inspiration from Latin pop culture icon Jennifer Lopez, particularly J.Lo’s memorable 2023 Met Gala appearance.
Mercy Eke turned heads with her stunning recreation of Jennifer Lopez’s ensemble. The outfit featured a bold cut-out midsection and a halter neckline that showcased a daring underboob, adorned with matching rosette detailing. The dress flowed elegantly into two graceful, floor-sweeping tails, with the lower half boasting a blush-colored silk skirt and a lengthy train. Mercy further paid homage to J.Lo by donning a captivating fascinator embellished with sculptural fishnet detailing, complemented by stud earrings and black velvet opera gloves.
To complete the look, Mercy opted for a sleek bun beneath the statement hat, and her makeup featured thick dark eyeliner paired with glossy nude lips. This meticulous homage to Jennifer Lopez’s iconic Met Gala appearance showcased Mercy Eke’s commitment to the Costume Party Extravaganza theme, establishing her as a standout at the event.
