A designer sued Melanie Griffith for allegedly refusing to pay nearly $26,000 for dressing the actress and her daughters for the Golden Globes Awards and reneging on a promise to mention his name on the red carpet.
In the lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Niklas J. Palm claimed he designed dresses for Griffith and her daughters Dakota Johnson and Stella Banderas to wear to the January event.
Palm said he submitted a $25,960 bill Jan. 16 and Griffith was overdue in making any payments. He also claimed Griffith and her daughters backed out of their promise to mention his name to reporters.
Griffith promised "that he will receive publicity that money could not buy, then conveniently forgot his name when reporters on the red carpet specifically asked who designed her beautiful gown _ taking credit for the gown herself," the lawsuit said.
Calls made after business hours Friday to Griffith's attorney and publicist were not immediately returned.
The lawsuit claimed breach of oral and written contract and intentional misrepresentation. It also names Griffith's husband, Antonio Banderas and their production companies as defendants.
