Kylie Jenner lookalike too attractive to pass driving test
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.'
14 House Republicans vote down procedural rule over 'SAVE America Act,' halting week's legislative calendar

4:00 PM – Tuesday, June 30, 2026
A coalition of fourteen House Republicans paralyzed the legislative floor on Tuesday, tanking a procedural vote and forcing GOP leadership to abruptly scrap the week’s legislative calendar.
The coalition, led by Representatives Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas), choked off legislative business as conservative holdouts dug in on demands for stricter federal voting regulations — specifically targeting the passage of the SAVE America Act.
The full list of the 14 Republicans includes:
- Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) — Coalition co-leader
- Chip Roy (R-Texas) — Coalition co-leader
- Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.)
- Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.)
- Eric Burlison (R-Mo.)
- Eli Crane (R-Ariz.)
- Randy Fine (R-Fla.)
- Andy Harris (R-Md. )
- Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)
- Max Miller (R-Ohio)
- Keith Self (R-Texas)
- Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.)
- Mike Turner (R-Ohio)
- Steve Scalise (R-La.) — Voted “no” strictly for procedural routing
The immediate casualty of the intraparty disagreement was a $1.15 trillion defense spending bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had engineered a plan to merge the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with the SAVE America Act, packaging the conservative voting priorities into a must-pass piece of legislation before sending it to the upper chamber.
However, the faction rebelled against this strategy, sinking the routine procedural rule vote 224–198.
Luna described the leadership’s legislative bundling as a “procedural head fake,” arguing that merging the bills would make it far too easy for the Senate to simply strip the election provisions out during conference negotiations.
Instead, Luna and like-minded House members demanded that the voting regulations — including mandatory photo ID and documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections — be written directly into the base text of the NDAA via amendment, thus making it legally harder to unravel.
Analysts say that the legislative standoff represents a massive bottleneck for the thin Republican majority, where Speaker Johnson can only afford to lose three votes on party-line measures.
Notably, this procedural loophole allows Republican leadership to bring the rule back to the floor for reconsideration at a later date without being forced to send the massive defense package back to the House Rules Committee.
Confronted by an unyielding wall of opposition, GOP leadership admitted defeat just hours after the failed vote, canceling all remaining legislative business for Wednesday and Thursday. Lawmakers were sent home for an early Fourth of July holiday recess, postponing any further action on the defense bill or pending appropriations measures until the House reconvenes on July 13th.
A visibly frustrated Speaker Johnson defended the derailed defense package, noting that it contained roughly 65 of the Trump administration’s core priorities and executive orders (EOs). Johnson lamented that a handful of his own members chose to halt very important progress because of their grievances with Senate Democrats.
Meanwhile, thee ultimate destination for the SAVE America Act remains highly contentious.
While the bill represents a core pillar of the Trump administration’s platform, it faces friction in the upper chamber. Even if the House successfully advances the measure, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has struggled to gather the necessary support to cross the 60-vote filibuster threshold, with several Senate Republicans joining Democrats to vote against the measure in a recent 48–50 vote.
As the House enters a multi-week cooling-off period, Johnson indicated he would use the recess to regroup and work on the holdouts, though hardliners have pledged to block all subsequent floor traffic until their strict voting integrity parameters are met.
