Is Packaging Everything? When Gen Z Runway Fantasy Meets Compound Reality

I just saw a video that left me torn between laughter and concern. A young woman poses like she’s walking a Milan runway, yet she’s in a typical Nigerian compound where people are washing clothes and cooking over open fires. It made me wonder if today’s “Gen Z aesthetic” is all about looking good and chasing “pretty privilege” instead of learning real-life skills. Has the focus shifted from building a future to simply hunting for a wealthy partner? What do you think? Can a fine face and designer outfit make up for lacking responsibilities and life skills? Or does that attitude only highlight how out of place we look when everyone else is busy doing the work? Share your thoughts—let’s debate!
