Nigerian influencer and fashion entrepreneur Priscilla Ojo Mkambala has fired back at online critics who mocked her for re-wearing the same pair of designer shoes she donned at her glamorous #JP2025 wedding reception.
The social media star, known for her bold fashion sense and luxury lifestyle, attended a recent Lagos event in a chic short blue dress paired with the blue heels she previously wore at her wedding. But instead of compliments, some social media users took jabs at her, claiming she should have worn “something new.”
One follower commented under her event photos, “Is that not the same heels you wore for your wedding?” sparking a wave of mixed reactions across platforms.
Unfazed, Priscilla took to her Instagram stories to address the criticism, calling out what she described as “toxic expectations” and “fake luxury culture” among her generation.
“My generation girls are living in delusion,” she wrote. “Thinking I should only wear Jimmy Choos once just because my fanbase is bigger now. This exact mindset is why so many young girls feel pressured to live fake lives just to meet unrealistic social standards.”
She continued with a strong message of self-confidence and independence:
“Note this, my life will go however I want it to go. As long as my family, friends, and genuine fans are happy, every other person’s opinion is just noise.”
Her bold response quickly went viral, earning support from celebrities, influencers, and fans who praised her for promoting authenticity, sustainability, and financial wisdom in an industry often driven by appearances.
Many netizens applauded her for normalizing outfit repetition, a practice that global style icons like Kate Middleton and Zendaya have also championed arguing that fashion should celebrate creativity, not excessive spending.
Through her statement, Priscilla once again proved she’s not just a style icon but also a voice of reason in the social media space, redefining luxury as confidence, class, and control over one’s choices.
