The Cuban influencer Teresa, known on TikTok as "Teresa Creando Style," has sparked intense debate on social media after posting a video in which she lists five style elements that, according to her, do not represent her as a Cuban.
The video, published last Friday, has surpassed 18,500 views, accumulated over 1,100 "likes," and received dozens of comments, reflecting the impact of his statements within the Cuban community, especially in the diaspora.
With a direct and straightforward tone, Teresa begins by criticizing the use of exaggerated false eyelashes, a trend she considers unflattering. "I don't like this style of eyelashes; it doesn't look good, it doesn't look pretty, it looks cheap, it looks tacky," she stated in the video.
Another point she questions is the constant use of tight lycra garments outside of a sports context. According to the influencer, this type of clothing should be reserved for exercising or for very specific informal occasions, and not become a "24/7 uniform."
He also criticized excessively long and poorly blended hair extensions, pointing out that many times the difference between natural hair and extensions is noticeable, which, in his opinion, ruins the aesthetic result.
He also criticized certain unharmonious hairstyles and advocated for more refined styles, such as the butterfly cut, which he considers more flattering and modern.
Finally, he questioned the excessive use of flashy accessories, particularly thick chains around the neck, advocating instead for a more balanced style, while still embracing larger pieces when they are well coordinated.
Teresa's opinions have divided users: while some applaud her honesty and agree with her views, others believe that her comments generalize and reinforce stereotypes about Cuban women.
The video confirms how seemingly superficial topics, such as fashion and aesthetics, can ignite deeper discussions about identity, culture, and perception within the Cuban community on social media.
