NBA star slammed for hilariously outrageous wedding attire: 'Dressed like a '90s pimp'
Guard Alex Caruso tied the knot with his wife and former 'Big Brother' contestant Haleigh Broucher in Houston and brought many of his teammates to the party.
But it was the outfit of one of those teammates that attracted mockery and headlines.
As the group posed for a photo, the sight of the 7-footer Chet Holmgren dressed in a wild all-white suit with a maroon dress shirt, sunglasses, and gold chains got all the attention.
Holmgren's ensemble stood out from the rest of the group - which was dressed in more subtle attire for the occasion.
Social media went wild for the outfit - with many drawing a likeness to various villainous characters.
Fans began roasting Chet Holmgren for his outrageous white suit he wore to a wedding
Holmgren was celebrating the wedding of teammate Alex Caruso and wife Haleigh Boucher
'Chet dressed like a Miami drug lord,' wrote one person on X, formerly Twitter.
Another remarked, 'Bro dressed like a 90s pimp'.
'Is Chet auditioning to be an arms dealer,' another user wondered.
One user remarked, 'I thought you're not supposed to wear white to a wedding or is that only a girl thing.'
'Chet dressed like he wasn't invited lol,' said another.
A different user said, 'If I had seen this yesterday, I would've sworn Chet was trying to sell me jewelry at the mall.'
It's a summer of celebration for the Thunder after winning the franchise's first title since moving to Oklahoma.
Now, Caruso has two rings to celebrate - an NBA title and a wedding band. The couple announced their engagement back in August 2024 and had been dating for several years before finally getting married.

Wife of ex Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden files for divorce after accusing him of abuse and sexting teens
Kate Bowman, the wife of former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden, has filed for divorce form the musician, two weeks after accusing him of abuse and sexting teenagers. The fashion influencer filed for divorce on Wednesday after just three months of marriage, according to TMZ. She listed 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split, but did not provide a date of separation. Bowman — who was seen in Los Angeles earlier this month following her shocking allegations — is requesting spousal support, while also asking the court to prevent her ex, 46, from receiving any. As the couple has no children, there are no child custody or support issues to address. It's unclear if the couple, who have been together for over four years before tying the knot on May 6, have a prenup. It comes two weeks after Bowman accused him of physically attacking her, after she confronted him about sending inappropriate text messages to teenagers. 'He physically abused me,' Bowman said in court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, in regard to a series of events which unfolded on July 21. 'I'm now terrified of him.' Bowman said the bass player went 'insane' after she asked him about the alleged messages with the teenage girls - which allegedly centered around a rape fantasy. Bowman told the court that he grabbed her arms and slammed her body against a kitchen counter. 'He pulled me to the ground and was out of his mind,' Bowman told the court in her filing. Bowman described her efforts to flee the dangerous situation in her court filing. 'I managed to move around and escape him, got up, and ran out of the house to escape him,' she said. She continued: 'He ran after me in his underwear and barefoot, caught up to me, shoved me against the gate, and then tried to grab me back to the house.' Bowman said that she 'managed to escape and ran to the street' but Madden 'found [her] twice in different locations, physically abusing me each time.' Bowman included screengrabs in her filing from ring camera footage to support her claims. Bowman tried to retrieve Madden's phone, and says she wound up leaving the home afraid for her life. Bowman was able to rummage through the contents of the phone after she ran down the street and hid between cars after escaping the enraged musician's clutches, she said in court documents. Bowman told the court that Madden had never shown that level of outrage prior to their marriage. She was pointed out to the text-related allegations against Madden by a stranger, she said in the court filing. She told the court that she subsequently moved out of the home and has been residing with a friend in the wake of the conflict. Bowman told the court that Madden told her he was sorry via text message, and that he was planning on seeking help for sex addiction. She said she was concerned about Madden's potential mercurial reaction when he sees that she used a credit card of theirs to hire a lawyer in the wake of the July 21 incident. Bowman has asked for a restraining order preventing Madden from approaching within 100 yards of her person, place of business, residence or vehicle. She said that Madden has exerted monetary control over her for the duration of their four-year-plus relationship. Bowman said she has since started working a job, and is concerned that Madden will try to track her down at her work. She added that she's put a deposit down for an apartment where she will reside. Bowman is asking for expenses, in addition to custody of a pair of Siberian Husky dogs they own named Jam and Toast. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted Bowman a temporary restraining order in connection with the domestic violence allegations, but a request for Madden to vacate their home was not granted, pending a future hearing on the matter. Madden was the bass player for Maroon 5 - whose hits include moves like Makes Me Wonder, Moves Like Jagger and She Will Be Loved - for nearly 26 years, but departed the band in 2020. He stepped away from Maroon 5 in July of 2020 after he was arrested in connection with domestic violence 'I have some things that I need to deal with and address right now and so I have decided to take a leave of absence,' Madden said in a statement at the time. 'During this time, I do not want to be a distraction to my bandmates. I wish them the absolute best.'

Kelly Clarkson cancels Texas concert appearance days after ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's shock death
Kelly Clarkson has canceled her upcoming appearance at the Band Together Texas fundraising concert following the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The 43-year-old singer — who was not mentioned in the former talent manager's obituary — was slated to hit the stage at the event on August 17 to raise money for those affected by the deadly July floods. While the mom-of-two did not share the news herself, the announcement was made on the event's Instagram stories on Tuesday. 'Unfortunately, Kelly Clarkson will be unable to appear at Band Together Texas as planned, due to personal circumstances,' the since-expired post read. 'We send out love to Kelly and her family,' the statement concluded. The benefit concert — which is being put on by both Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum — will be held in Austin at the Moody Center. Lambert and McCollum are also set to perform as well as other music artists such as Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers Band. The event 'aims to rally critical support for flood-impacted communities and their ongoing needs as they recover and rebuild,' per the official website. Clarkson's ex-husband passed away at the age of 48 on August 7 following a three-year battle with melanoma. The former couple were married from 2013 until their divorce was finalized in 2022. They also welcomed two children together: Remington, 11, and River, nine. He was also father to Savannah, 23, and Seth, 18, whom he welcomed with first wife Melissa Ashworth — who recently broke her silence on his death. But Clarkson was not mentioned in Blackstock's obit which was released on Tuesday by Butte Funeral Home. Other relatives were listed in the obit such as his four children, grandchildren, grandparents and stepparents — which includes former stepmom Reba McEntire. The obit notably included the bombshell revelation that Blackstock had been in a relationship with Clarkson's past assistant leading up to his death. Clarkson and Blackstock first met in 2006 but didn't begin dating until six years later in 2012. The following year, the pair tied the knot during a ceremony that was held at Blackberry Farms in Tennessee. But in June 2020, the talk show host filed for divorce and cited the reason for the split as 'irreconcilable differences.' The divorce was finalized two years later. 'I think the thing about divorce — especially having it publicized, and people thinking they know the whole thing — the hardest part of that is, like, it wasn't an overnight decision,' Clarkson said on Angie Martinez's IRL podcast in 2023. 'I wanted to make it beautiful. I wanted to make it awesome. I wanted to make it everything it possibly could be, and sometimes that just doesn't happen.' She also sued her ex-husband last year after accusing him of making unauthorized business deals on her behalf. They settled their lawsuits over commissions in May 2024, ending a contentious legal battle that began after their divorce was finalized two years earlier. Last week, one day before Blackstock's passing was announced, Clarkson took to Instagram to announce the postponement of the remainder of her Las Vegas residency concerts for August. The following day, a rep for the family said in a statement: 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.' The statement concluded with, 'We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' Before his marriage to Clarkson, Blackstock had tied the knot with his first wife Melissa Ashworth in 1999 until their divorce in 2012. The obit released on Tuesday also revealed that the former talent manager had a 'loving partner' before his death. He had been in a relationship with Brittney Marie Jones and the pair had been living a private life in the state of Montana. The obit also included: 'After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live. He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana. 'Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana.' Jones had been a former assistant to Clarkson, per a prior LinkedIn profile, and was also an executive assistant to Blackstock. Jones' father has since broken silence on Blackstock's passing and called the former talent manager and his daughter 'soulmates.' 'Yesterday we lost a good man, Brandon Blackstock, my daughter's soulmate, and I considered him my son,' her father wrote in a now private post on Facebook, per Page Six. 'My sincere condolences to Brittney Jones and family. We're sure going to miss your funny humor. R.I.P hoss!' Other tributes have since flooded in to remember Blackstock as they mourn his loss, such as his first wife and son Seth. Reba McEntire's son Shelby shared a heartbreaking post in honor of his late half-brother. Blackstock was the son of Narvel Blackstock and Elisa Gayle Ritter. Narvel was later married to Reba from 1989 through 2015 — and they welcomed son Shelby together. The race car driver penned an emotional tribute to Blackstock late last week alongside an assortment of throwback photos. He also opened up about the 'tremendous loss our family has endured' and called Blackstock an 'irreplaceable part of our family.' McEntire broke her silence on his passing by penning a message in the comment section of her son's post. 'Very well said Shelby. Yes we will miss him so much,' she wrote along with red and broken heart emojis.
