Digital influencer Virginia Fonseca generated great repercussion on online platforms this Monday (29) when she showed off the outfit she chose to watch another Brazilian team match during the 2026 World Cup. In keeping with her tradition, the businesswoman opted for an outfit with the colors of Brazil, but the production quickly provoked a difference of opinion among internet users.
While some of her followers praised the businesswoman’s originality in composing the look, others were emphatic in their criticism and even drew parallels with an unforgettable figure in Brazilian television drama, specifically the soap opera Avenida Brasil.
The outfit that divided the public on social media
Before the start of the match, Virginia used the stories on her Instagram profile to share all the details of her production.
In addition to the set of clothes that followed the “Brazilcore” trend, the content creator invested in elaborate colorful makeup, with shades of green, yellow and blue, reinforcing the immersion in the World Cup atmosphere.
It didn’t take long for the images to begin circulating widely on social media, reaching millions of views and comments.
The unusual comparison that caught the attention of internet users
Although a large number of admirers approved the influencer’s creation, many others took the opportunity to make fun of the aesthetic adopted by the businesswoman.
“She looks like Mother Lucinda”, wrote an internet user, making reference to the character played by actress Vera Holtz in the famous soap opera Avenida Brasil. The association was brought about by the memory of the picturesque style and with a touch of kitsch of Divino’s garbage collector, known for her vibrant and often mismatched clothes, which contrasted with the universe of luxury and power of the plot.
“It’s horrible, with too much information!” commented another person, expressing disapproval. A third made an ironic comment: “Put a lesbian in your head.”
Virginia gets into the World Cup spirit with themed looks
Even in the face of negative demonstrations, Virginia continued to publish details about her preparation and demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm for watching the Brazilian team’s games.
Throughout the global competition, the influencer has prioritized the use of clothing and makeup with the theme of national colors, productions that usually generate great engagement among her millions of fans and followers online.
