‘Kylie Jenner lookalike’ claims she was ‘too attractive’ to pass her driving test after

An influencer, known online as a ‘Kylie Jenner lookalike’, claims she struggled to get her driving licence because she is ‘too attractive’. 

Julia Medeiros, based in Miami, tells Daily Mail she needed five attempts to pass her driving test and eventually began to question if it was because of her appearance.

The brunette beauty, 24, admits she ‘got nervous’ and ‘made mistakes’ while driving, but says the examiners kept making remarks about her looks during each test.

She claims the comments were never inappropriate, but they would say things like, ‘You look too glamorous to be here today,’ or, ‘You look like an actress or model.’ 

‘Sometimes they would ask if I worked with social media or modelling before we even started the test,’ Julia says. 

‘At the time I laughed it off, but after failing several times, I started remembering those moments.’

She also recalls one examiner joking that she looked like she was heading to a photoshoot rather than a driving exam.

‘It wasn’t offensive, but after a while it made me wonder whether people were paying more attention to me than to my driving,’ she says.

Julia recalls the examiners telling her that she failed because she was too nervous and made small technical mistakes during the practical exams.

‘The first time, I thought it was just anxiety. I got nervous, made mistakes and failed. It seemed completely normal,’ she recalls.

However, after multiple unsuccessful attempts, Julia says she began questioning whether her appearance was affecting how she was perceived.

‘After the third or fourth attempt, I started noticing there was always some comment about my face, my appearance or the way I dressed,’ she explains. 

‘That’s when I started questioning whether my appearance was influencing the way I was being judged. 

‘I can’t prove anything, but it felt like people were paying less attention to my driving and more attention to me.’

According to the influencer, repeated remarks about her appearance during lessons and evaluations made her increasingly self-conscious.

‘I might genuinely have been a bad driver back then,’ she says. 

‘But after failing five times, I started to wonder whether people were paying more attention to me than to the way I was driving.’

Julia says she has dealt with comments about her appearance for years and believes those experiences may have influenced how she interpreted the situation.

The process of getting her licence took place over roughly a year while she was living in Brazil, and she took the tests through the same driving school. 

She finally passed on her fifth attempt and obtained her licence shortly afterwards.

‘I can’t say those comments changed the outcome because I have no way of proving that,’ she says. 

‘But when you fail once, you blame yourself. When it happens five times, you start replaying everything in your head, including the comments people made.’

Now living in Miami, Julia says she looks back on the experience as one of the most unusual episodes in her life.  

‘When something keeps happening over and over again, you naturally start looking for explanations,’ she says. 

‘I’ll never know for sure, but it definitely crossed my mind that my appearance may have played a role.’
