Luma de Oliveira, a noted Brazilian figure, has expressed her approval of a reinterpretation by influencer Virginia Fonseca, who wore a collar reminiscent of Luma's iconic Carnival costume from 1998. In that original costume, Luma wore a collar with the name of her then-husband, businessman Eike Batista. Virginia's use of a collar bearing the name of her boyfriend, footballer Vini Jr., sparked controversy but is seen by Luma as a statement of freedom and independence.

During an interview, Luma highlighted the difference in context between her earlier use of the collar and Virginia's modern interpretation. Luma emphasized that when she wore the collar, it was without any particular intention, and she defended her choice against feminist critiques by stating that true freedom allows women to express themselves as they wish. By comparing Virginia's situation to her own, Luma underlined that both women are independent and strong, embracing their freedom of choice through their fashion statements.

Luma views Virginia's collar as a bridge across generations, showcasing how fashion can carry messages of empowerment. She stated, "This collar is crossing generations. It's not just the collar; it's the attitude behind it." This contemporary dialogue reflects broader themes of female empowerment and independence in Brazil's culture, particularly in the context of fashion and celebrity influence.
