Nigerian fashion influencer and entrepreneur Priscilla Ojo Mkambala has responded to online criticism after being questioned for wearing the same pair of Jimmy Choo heels she wore on her wedding day to a recent public event.
The debate began after photos of Mkambala surfaced online, showing her in the royal blue designer heels that fans quickly recognised from her wedding ceremony.
Some social media users argued that a celebrity of her stature should not repeat outfits or accessories, sparking conversations about fashion expectations and image pressure among public figures.
In a post shared on her Snapchat on Sunday, October 26, 2025, Mkambala addressed the backlash, saying the criticism reflects the unrealistic standards social media imposes on young women.
“My generation girls are living in delusion, thinking I should only wear Jimmy Choos once just because my fanbase is bigger now,” she wrote.
“This exact reason is why many young girls feel pressured by social media to fit an unrealistic standard, ‘I need to be a big girl’ but often they lack the financial means to support that lifestyle.”
She added that she intends to live by her own values rather than bow to public opinion.

“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,” she said.
Mkambala’s response has since drawn widespread support from fans who praised her for promoting authenticity and self-confidence in an industry often associated with materialism and the pressure to appear constantly new.
Cultural observers say her statement mirrors a global shift toward sustainability and conscious fashion, where re-wearing luxury items is increasingly viewed as a sign of confidence and personal style rather than limitation.
Known for her bold fashion choices and vibrant online presence, Mkambala appeared unfazed by the criticism, with admirers noting that her poise and confidence carried more weight than any accessory could.
