• Irene Nekesa wore a bright dress, high heels, a curly wig, and heavy makeup, which was very different from how she usually looks
• Many people noticed she was trying to dress and look like Diana Marua, but felt she did not pull it off well
• Netizens flooded her comment section with mixed reactions, with most commenting that the makeup was too much and that she looked better natural

Social media personality Irene Nekesa, best known as Diana Marua’s former nanny, has once again set tongues wagging online, this time, not for her charm or relatable content, but for her bold beauty choices.

How did Nekesa look?

In a recent video shared on her socials, Nekesa documented a visit to Mulembe FM, seemingly part of her ongoing content creation efforts to boost her personal brand.

"God is good all the time," she captioned the video.

While the moment was meant to highlight her growth as an influencer, it was her look that stole the spotlight, and not for the right reasons.

Netizens, ever the watchful critics, were quick to point out that something seemed a bit off with her appearance.

From her outfit to her hair and makeup, fans noted a striking resemblance to the style of her former boss, Diana Marua, only this time, the attempt did not quite land.

Nekesa wore a knee-high, free-flowing dress with long sleeves, paired with high heels, a notable shift from her usual laid-back aesthetic.

However, what truly caught the attention of fans was her heavy makeup and black curly wig, which she gently caressed throughout the video.

Her face was fully beat, a departure from her usual natural look, with bold eyeshadow, a generous helping of foundation, and bright red lipstick.

The look left many fans feeling that the influencer had gone too far, with several urging her to return to the more authentic version of herself they are used to.
