Virgínia sports Vini Jr collar at Carnival, stuns Flamengo fans | OneFootball

Why Did Virgínia Post a Cat Photo and Wear a Collar with Vini Jr's Name?

Vini Jr's girlfriend, Virgínia Fonseca, did a daring Carnival photo shoot. This Tuesday (03), the influencer posted a photo dressed as a cat and wearing a collar with the name of the former Flamengo player. This post shocked internet users.

“Loving every moment of this carnival! We recreated the look of diva Luma de Oliveira for Gshow, from 1998″, Virgínia posted on social media. Vini Jr, whose name was mentioned on the cat collar, responded: “The fiercest of them all!”

Virgínia was inspired by actress Luma de Oliveira, who wore the black cat look in the 1998 Carnival parade. At the time, the model wore a collar with the name of her then-husband, Eike Batista. Thus, the influencer took the opportunity to use Vini Jr's name in 2026.

What Did Virgínia Say About the Criticism?

It is worth noting that Virgínia will be the Queen of Drums for Grande Rio in the 2026 Carnival. Therefore, Vini Jr's girlfriend took the opportunity to comment on the criticism she faced before parading in Sapucaí.

— When I accepted this invitation, I already knew about all the criticism that could come, especially when you take on the role of queen of drums after Paolla Oliveira. I knew the pressure and demands would be a thousand times greater, but I always saw myself with the desire, dedication, focus, and strength to endure all the processes and start writing my story -, she said, before concluding:

— I already loved Carnival. I've done quick trips to see Sabrina (Sato parade), I love the costumes, I love seeing the women, each more beautiful than the last. The energy, when you experience Carnival the way I am, is very different, something only those inside know. I am very positively surprised because it was an energy that took over me, that I want to be in, that I miss when I'm not. The Caxias community embraced me, and that made all the difference,” she reported.
