She shared a video on TikTok that has racked up over 45,000 likes because of her self-love-based sentiments and ownership of her curvy and toned body shape.

Lilly mentions that it’s natural to overdress for social occasions, especially where her family is from in Mexico.

She embraces her love of her Mexican culture and sense of fashion throughout much of her social content on the platform.

The video begins with a strategic image of Lilly looking at a camera as she sits in a pickup truck.

The Mexican woman is wearing a gray mini dress with a matching brown jacket tossed on top and matching light brown over-the-knee boots.

As she hops out of the vehicle and adjusts her short dress, she shares that in her culture “We like to party and we like to look good!”
