Blakely Thornton leaves Met Gala fans in stitches with brutal commentary about Kim Kardashian's outfit
Blakely Thornton has left Met Gala fans in stitches with his brutal commentary about Kim Kardashian 's outfit on the night.
The internet personality, 39, took to TikTok to share his damning review of the star's ensemble which consisted of a leather bodycon dress with matching fedora by Chrome Hearts.
Kim, 44, accessorized with several diamond necklaces which cascaded down her chest along with matching dangling earrings - but not even the glitz and glamor could win Thornton over.
In the clip, Thornton - who describes himself as a 'pop culture anthropologist' - did little to hide his disappointment as the millionaire posed for pictures at the iconic event in New York City.
His usually upbeat demeanor took a hit when Kim was guided up the iconic steps on the red carpet.
'Oh lord, oh lord,' Thornton exclaimed, before groaning loudly, per a video from The Cut.
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She not talking to nobody, she not talking to nobody. Oh my god.'
Someone behind Thornton called out, 'Kim! Show us the look! Kim! Show us the look!' to which Thornton responded, 'I don't think so.'

And viewers were left in hysterics over Thornton's reaction, as one person wrote: 'This is the ONLY appropriate reaction.'
'The "ughhhhh" is so real,' a user wrote.
'She never gets the assignment. Ever,' someone shared.
Another wrote: 'He's sooo bored with her!'
One user said, 'Who is this guy, he needs a raise ASAP!!'
'Extend his contract and give him a raise,' someone else wrote.
'I can FEEL the eye roll he's probably giving and I'm living for it,' a comment read.
Earlier in the night, Kim was caught scolding a security guard after he caused her to take an awkward tumble as she headed into the Met Gala 2025 with 11-year-old daughter North.
She faced a near-fall when a security guard accidentally stepped on her dress.
After stumbling forward, she angrily turned towards the man and said something to him before she held up her hand with a harsh look on her face.
The awkward moment was caught on camera and shared to TikTok.
Tension seemingly did not end there, as Kim glared back while hopping into a pick-up vehicle before hitting the famous steps at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Mexican designer blends Chicano and Japan's Harajuku styles
MEXICO CITY, June 19 (Reuters) - In a leafy park in Mexico City, beside colonial era fountains and food stands, Italia Segovia's designs are turning heads, as usual. A pink ruffled dress with white lace and big bow; a high-school vibe tartan dress tied with a pale yellow shawl imprinted with Mexico's patron saint the Virgin of Guadalupe, all accentuated with loud heavy makeup. Segovia, known to her friends as Kumiko, calls her work Chicanjuku: a fusion of Mexican-American Chicano culture and Japanese Harajuku style, named after the Tokyo district renowned for its bright colored accessories, outlandish makeup, and elaborate hairstyles. "It's like a food blender of styles," Segovia said of her designs, which have also become a core part of her identity. Chicano style was popularized by Mexican-Americans in the U.S. who felt out of place in both countries because of their mixed backgrounds, said Segovia. Though she is not Mexican-American, she has several relatives in the U.S. who inspired her deep love for the style she now draws from. Segovia, who has almost 30 thousand followers on Instagram, mashes the oversize shirts, khakis and flat brim caps analogous to Chicano culture with the candy-floss fairy-tale pop of Harajuku. The makeup might include dark lining around the lips and eyeliner that emulates Japanese Geisha style. "You can always experiment with fashion and art as long as it's from a place of knowledge and respect," Segovia said. Segovia's distinctive aesthetic has even caught the eye of admirers in Japan. In June, she made special outfits for three Japanese E-Queens, a subculture of electronic music dancers, who she connected with months earlier online. The group met up in Mexico City for a photo shoot and street dance, dressed in Segovia's outfits. "I love how she uses texture," said Shirendev Oyun-Erdenen, a Japanese E-Queen who dances under the name Maaya the Bee. "Helping people feel free to experiment and not be afraid. That's what it's all about," Segovia said.

Stylish racegoers out in force for Royal Ascot Ladies' Day
Royal Ascot racegoers turned on the style for Ladies' Day with a show of sartorial flair and the odd outlandish hat. Towering headgear inspired by Jane Austen, recycled creations and even fluttering butterflies were some of the designs worn by racing fans. In sweltering temperatures spectators swept into the famous Berkshire racecourse before the feature race of the week, the Gold Cup, with the winning jockey and trainer receiving their prizes from the King and Queen. Milliner Viv Jenner did not waste a past creation but recycled a striking circular yellow and pink design for Ladies' Day: 'It's all about sustainable fashion, I wore this hat in 2022. 'It's been sitting in a box in storage for years and I thought rather then make a new one I'd give it a new lease of life and rework it, after finding this lovely yellow dress. 'Bringing a bit of sunshine to Royal Ascot, if we needed any more.' The royal family will be out in force for a third-day of racing, with the Princess Royal and husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, joined by Anne's daughter Zara Tindall and her husband, former England rugby star Mike Tindall, in the royal box. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will also be among the royal party with Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Outlandish hats were the order of the day but one racegoer was carrying a novel handbag – in the shape of a watering can. Olivia Harrell was making her first visit to Royal Ascot and was dressed head to toe in vintage finds from charity shops and said about her handbag: 'This is from Paris I bought it for just 30 euros.' Fashion designer Francini Keiser and two models were wearing outfits inspired by the 1960s she created and they all wore distinctive hats by her friend the milliner Odette and Elliott. Ms Keiser, whose hat featured dyed swan feathers, said: 'It's my first time here it's just an extraordinary experience. All these hats are just amazing and the spirit of the people, everyone is dressed up. We're also very excited to see the racing and the King.' Royal Ascot stalwart Tracy Rose wore a dress and towering hat she made inspired by Georgian fashion to mark the 250th birthday of author Jane Austen. She said: 'This is a contemporary homage to the bonnet, the dress also owes something to the bonnet which could be a first and I began designing everything at the start of the year.' In 2022 Mrs Rose founded the Racing For All Diversity Campaign to encourage people of all backgrounds to enjoy a day at the races. Speaking about the appeal of Royal Ascot she said: 'It's so British, it's such a party atmosphere and everybody just wants to be outstanding and have fun with their fashion, which I just love. I'm loving everybody looking wonderful.'

Incredible moment Pope Leo joins in with MLB chants while greeting Vatican visitors
Pope Leo XIV still holds close ties to his homegrown roots in the city of Chicago where he was born and raised. One of the ways he does this is through his love of the MLB's Chicago White Sox. Leo XIV has been holding the office as supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church for only a few months now, but he still remains supportive of the South Siders amidst their struggles. In a recent video taken from what appears to be St. Peter's Square, Leo XIV was seen greeting devout believers who gathered in the plaza. One group of people - those recording the video - began to start chanting 'White Sox, White Sox' as the Pope came driving by. As Leo XIV passed the chanting group, he joined in - with the Pope returning the chants. The Pope - born Robert Prevost - retains close ties to the White Sox as well as his alma mater, Villanova University. Pope Leo joined in on the White Sox chants 😂🗣️ He got HYPED at the end 👏 (via clashroyal3/TT) — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) June 19, 2025 Last week, Pope Leo donned a White Sox hat as he greeted Vatican visitors, including a pair of newlyweds. It's unclear if the man and woman were from Chicago or how the hat materialized, but the struggling White Sox were all too happy to post some of the images online anyway. '.@Pontifex representing his favorite squad,' read the White Sox post. Fans from the Midwestern metropolis remain stunned to see a White Sox fan in the Vatican. 'Even 3 months ago, you could've given me 1,000,000 to 1 odds and I never would've taken a bet that THE POPE WEARING A WHITE SOX HAT would happen,' one wrote on X. 'As a Chicago area native I could never have imagined a Chicago Pope,' another added. One fan remained so skeptical of the Pope's White Sox allegiance they asked X's AI tool: '@grok is this real?' Grok then confirmed the authenticity of the photos. Despite their favored status at the Vatican, the White Sox are in the midst of another disappointing season. Not only are they 23.5 games out of first in the American League Central at 23-50 entering Thursday, but the team's leading hitter is Miguel Vargas at just .242. Luis Robert Jr., the team's star centerfielder and most recognizable player, is batting just .190. Pope Leo's fandom has been a rare bright spot for the South Siders, who recently unveiled a tribute to their Holiest fan as the White Sox were on their way to a third-place finish. Now, in section 140, Row 19, and Seat 2 at Rate Field on Chicago's South Side, fans can find a graphic installation marking Pope Leo's seat for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Chicago would go on to win its first MLB crown since 1917 that year. Footage from the game — Chicago's 5-3 win over the visiting NL-champion Houston Astros — shows a younger Pope Leo in the crowd during his time as prior for the Order of Saint Augustine. There had been some erroneous reporting after he was named Pope that he was actually a Cubs fan, but his brother John Prevost has since put that myth to rest. 'He was never ever a Cubs fan, so I don't know where that came from,' Prevost told Chicago's WGN TV. 'He was always a Sox fan. Our mother was a Cubs fan. I don't know, maybe that clued in there and our dad was a Cardinals fan, so I don't know where all that came from. Footage has emerged of Pope Leo watching Chicago win Game 1 of the 2005 World Series 'And all the aunts, our mom's family was from the north side, so that's why they were Cubs fans.' The club is in the process of being sold to Justin Ishbia, the brother of Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia. The team announced the deal last week. Ishbia will make capital infusions to the team as a limited partner in 2025 and 2026 in order to pay down existing club debt and support ongoing team operations. Under the agreement, White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf has the option to sell controlling interest to Ishbia from 2029 to 2033, after which Ishbia can obtain a majority stake.
