Ethan Miller, Noel Vasquez/Getty ImagesFloyd Mayweather Jr.'s ladies look lovely in pink—even if they're both red in the face after wearing the same dress to the same event. Shantel Jackson cheered on her boyfriend at his Sept. 14 match while dressed in a hot pink Michael Costello number, and unbeknownst to her, Jirah Mayweather—the boxer's 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship—was rocking it, too.
Floyd's baby mama, Josie Harris, told TMZ she paid former Project Runway contestant Costello $795 for a one-of-a-kind dress. "It's an unspoken rule and a cardinal sin for a 'real designer' to dress clients alike going to the same major event," she sniped. "Tacky, tacky, tacky."
Costello later responded to the dress drama in an interview with HipHollywood. "I think that Josie is blowing it entirely out of proportion and again making things about herself," he told the website.
The clothier also accused Harris of being jealous of her ex's new ladylove. "I think she is obviously sad that she's no longer with Floyd and that someone else who she may be a little jealous of is now with him," Costello alleged. "It's sad that [Jackson] showed up in the same dress that her daughter had on, but asking for a refund or asking for, like, an apology, or asking us to bend over backwards basically because you didn't get the spotlight that you wanted—sorry, but take the backseat, you are no longer the main prize, someone else is."
Costello added that the dress in question was not bespoke. "I really think that Josie is the No. 1 source of all this drama that's going on," he said. "We never said that this was an exclusive dress. We sell this dress every day. We sell six or seven of them a day. The thing we thought that was signature and very special is that we decided to do it for a little girl."
