Global household name Kim Kardashian mocked her own outfit at the Met Gala after reposting a hilarious TikTok. The annual Met Gala took place at the beginning of the month and celebrities from across industries converged on New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art dressed to the nines. Reality star Kardashian took to the red carpet in an all-white outfit mostly comprised of 50,000 freshwater pearls attached to a corset in strands. She also wore some strappy heels and a large draped skirt at the back. The unusual look was hilariously recreated in a TikTok by @angelicahacks who used DIY items like foil, tape and a beaded string curtain to nail a recreation. The video has been viewed over 260,000 times on TikTok and was even reposted by Kardashian on her Instagram stories as the star was able to have a laugh at her own outfit.

In the comments, many alerted the TikToker that she had been reposted by Kardashian and said they were there because they saw it on her Instagram stories. One fan said: “Kim reposted you. I’m just here because of her !!” Another wrote: “You wore it better.” It’s not the only look that @angelicahacks has recreated from the Met Gala. In a video that’s been viewed over 7 million times, she recreated singer Rihanna’s look using popped balloons and cut-off rubber washing-up gloves. @angelicahacks @Valentino #ad #rihanna #metgala #redcarpet #fashiontiktok Have your say in our news democracy.

A pianist has become an overnight sensation after his performance at a cafe took an unexpected twist. Emil Reinert was at the Dritan Alsela coffee shop in Dusseldorf, Germany, earlier this week when he launched into a piece from the opera ‘La Traviata’. The surrounding diners looked bewildered at the musical outburst as they sat casually sipping their drinks. However, Reinert himself was left with “goosebumps” when a man sitting across the room suddenly erupted into song. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The stranger with the Royal Albert Hall-worthy voice accompanied the piano player until the end of the verse, at which point a second surprise performer piped in. The man’s friend, who was sitting opposite him, also turned out to be an opera singer and, together, the trio wrapped up the impromptu rendition to rapturous applause. @emiliopiano I met 2 SINGERS in a CAFÉ!! ? @Dritan Alsela Song: Libiamo ne' lieti calici Opera: La Traviata #piano #singing #verdi #traviata #libiamo #publicpiano #classicaltok #classicalmusic #opera #dritanalsela Reinert, who goes by the username emiliopiano on TikTok, posted a video of the spontaneous show, with the caption: “I met 2 SINGERS in a CAFÉ!!” In the overlay text to the two-minute clip, he wrote: “This is what happens when you play Italian music in a café.” He then wrote that he was “so happy” when the man joined him and noted that everyone in the room “soon became silent” and started filming on their phones. The Franco-German musician concluded his video by hailing the experience as proof of the unifying power of music. The recording racked up a staggering 53.9 million views in just two days, as fellow TikTokers shared their delight at the heartwarming display. “These people just got free tickets to a very expensive show,” one commented. “It’s fun cause they probably get paid to sing [...] so this was just for the moment,” wrote another. “As a former dancer I can tell you some people just love their art and share it anywhere anytime,” pointed out a third. “Music is a universal language even if you don’t understand the lyrics you can find beauty in the song,” said a fourth. And a fifth said: “I would love to be somewhere when this happens. It makes me so happy to see spontaneous joyful music.” Meanwhile, a number of killjoys were quick to flag that the whole thing was most probably “staged”. Reinert has amassed 2.2 million followers on TikTok thanks to his videos which have been shot in unlikely settings around Europe, from airports to beaches. Each one sees him happily tickling the ivories on his own before he’s joined by a “surprise” bystander who happens to have brought along an instrument or an exceptional singing voice. @emiliopiano I met a VIOLINIST at the Airport ?! ❤️ #piano #pianogare #mentalhealthawarenessweek #tohelpmyanxiety #pianoengare #pianoairport #violin #violinist #pianoduo #pianoduet #pianoduetchallenge #pianotutorial #pianomusic #pianolesson #pianoplayer #pianist #pianocover #pianotok @RIOPY And yet, as many fans point out, it doesn’t matter that the whole thing is pre-planned. “I know these are staged,” one viewer wrote. “But they still make me cry the happy tears.” Have your say in our news democracy.
