Floyd Mayweather's Daughter Jirah Dress Worn at Canelo Fight: Girlfriend Shantel Jackson Wears Identical Gown
Floyd Mayweather's ex-girlfriend Josie Harris is "livid" that fashion designer Michael Costello designed a dress for the couple's daughter that is identical to the one created for the boxer's ex-fiance, Shantel Jackson.
Harris told TMZ she paid Costello $795 to create a one-of-a-kind dress for her and Mayweather's 10-year-old daughter, Jirah. She initially approved the form-fitting, hot pink floor-length gown, until she saw Jackson wear the same dress. Costello even complimented Jirah and Jackson's identical dresses with thin gold belts.
"It's an unspoken rule and a cardinal sin for a 'real designer' to dress clients alike going to the same major event ... Tacky, tacky, tacky," Harris said.
She then directed her wrath to Jackson, saying the only reason the model showed up for the fight is because Mayweather earned a hefty sum for his bout with Canelo.
"She is a total gold digger," Harris said of Jackson. "She conveniently came back around 2 days before Floyd got his $41.5 million check."
Costello told TMZ that "No exclusivity was promised regarding the dress. If you want exclusivity, you need to pay more." The designer said Jackson was told the dress was selected for Jirah first and that she would be wearing the same style. Even so, the model decided to wear it.
Mayweather's five alleged girlfriends all wore custom dresses and outfits by Costello to the Sept. 13 fight, Media Takeout reported Monday. The designer refused to deny or confirm the claim. He posted a statement on Instagram saying he will not address the report out of respect for Mayweather.
"Due to respect of our clients we @michaelcostello31 & #mtcostello will not be responding to any media questions about Floyd Mayweather, his family and friends," Costello wrote. "Please respect our privacy and theirs. We cannot control who makes purchases online Thank you."
Costello competed on season 8 of Project Runway and finished in 4th place. He later appeared on Project Runway All-Stars season 1. He showed his upcoming Spring 2014 collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion week earlier in September.
