Nigerian influencer, entrepreneur, and fashion icon Priscilla Ojo Mkambala has responded powerfully to online critics who mocked her for reusing the same designer shoes she wore during her luxurious #JP2025 wedding reception at a recent public event.
The daughter of popular actress Iyabo Ojo, Priscilla, attended a high-profile Lagos event in a stunning short blue dress paired with the same blue heels that she had previously rocked during her wedding celebration. While many admired her elegance, a few online trolls questioned her fashion choice, sparking a heated conversation on social media.
One of the comments that drew her attention read, “Is that not the heels you wore for your wedding?” implying that a celebrity of her status should not repeat outfits or accessories for public appearances.
In a bold and thoughtful clapback, Priscilla called out the unrealistic expectations and toxic social pressures that many young women face on social media. She emphasized the importance of financial wisdom, authenticity, and individuality over unnecessary materialism.
She wrote: “My generation girls are living in delusion, thinking I should only wear Jimmy Choos once just because my fanbase is bigger now. This exact reason is why many young girls feel pressured by social media to fit an unrealistic standard. It’s sad, and I refuse to live that kind of life.”
Continuing, she added: “Note: My life will go however I want it to go. As long as my family, friends, and honest fans are happy, every other person’s opinion is just noise. I love fashion, but I wear my pieces with value, not vanity.”
Her response has since gone viral, earning praise from fans and fellow celebrities who applauded her for promoting confidence, sustainability, and self-awareness. Many described her as a voice of reason in an industry often dominated by image-conscious trends and show-off culture.
Fashion experts also weighed in, noting that reusing designer pieces reflects class, maturity, and a growing awareness about sustainable fashion. They argued that luxury isn’t about excess, but about taste and intentionality — values Priscilla embodies effortlessly.
Social media users have since flooded her comment section with messages of support, applauding her courage to speak out against online toxicity and the “wear once, never again” mentality. The incident has sparked wider discussions about how influencer culture often distorts reality for young women aspiring to live beyond their means.
Priscilla, known for her refined style and brand collaborations, continues to use her platform to promote authenticity and self-worth. Beyond fashion, she’s also a strong advocate for mental health, positive body image, and women’s empowerment.
As she put it in one of her closing statements, “Real queens don’t prove points; they live with purpose.”
