Adrianne Curry blasted Victoria's Secret for the runway appearances of Kylie Jenner and Alex Consani at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
During a YouTube live stream on Monday (Oct. 19), the 44-year-old America's Next Top Model season one winner criticized the brand's direction and shared her frustrations alleging the brand selects established celebrities and influencers over unknown talent and models.
"They have no standards anymore and it's a joke. Anyone can walk in it," Curry said in near the 52-minute mark in the video linked here. "They turn down famous Victoria's Secret models who f**kinglook great to put a transgender person in there and a f**kingKardashian."
She then turned her criticism to Consani, who is transgender, saying, "Dude, it'd be one thing if the trans model looked like a f**kinglady boy from Bangkok where you couldn't tell at all and it's like the most beautiful f**kingwoman you've ever seen in your life. That's not what happened."

When did we lose the art of enjoyment? These days, the average person loves a think piece—specifically, having their own and putting it out there for the world to see. It stems from this new access we have on the internet to each other. On ****** es like TikTok, Instagram, and X and Threads, we can reach beyond our narrow circles into the phones of literally anyone else. Out of this environment, we've normalized an even more extreme parasocial nature between celebrities, influencers, and each other. The new internet landscape involves users ****** yzing and critiquing anyone who chooses to try or put themselves out there, serving as amateur publicists, stylists, and brand-image architects. There's an element of this new world order that's thrilling—our opinions matter! But...what's that phrase about opinions again?
I'd argue that we've critiqued ourselves into mass hysteria, conflating personal opinion with expertise. Just because someone has something to say doesn't mean they actually know what they're saying. There once was a time when people took the time to learn, gain experience, and work in a specific field so they're equipped to handle certain industries. But now, everyone simply thinks they know enough about everything. And it's making fashion and entertainment commentary less fun for everyone involved.
Over the last few weeks, with Fashion Month, the Emmys, and the VMAs, we were inundated with sartorial opinions on the internet. Top of mind for me was Shailene Woodley's Emmys look.

A TikTok influencer has said that white women, especially blond-haired women, have an overly inflated sense of their looks, stating that this mentality causes much animosity in her video.
Kylie Brewer named the video "Blonde wh!te women tend to overrate their attractiveness." This is the sequel to her earlier video, where she said white men overestimate their looks.
Brewer claims that lots of white women find it hard to understand that other people might not think of them as the ultimate choice.
"If you tell them that you don't think that, that's the most attractive type of person out there, they literally cannot imagine it because for them, their experience of what they think is colorism is between blonde and brunettes," Brewer said.
"And white women get incredibly territorial over blond hair and over men in general," she added.

A woman regrets agreeing to a barter collaboration with a property after learning where she would be staying. In the opening of her TikTok video, Tara Lynn (taraswrld) said, "I just found out some crazy sh** about the hotel I'm supposed to be checking into today." She said she would check out of her current hotel and check into the new one the same day, but after the reveal, she has "nowhere to go."
Lynn described her initial reaction to the property representatives contacting her. She said, "They emailed me the other day while I was at Harry about this comp stay. So I, like, briefly looked at their website. Everything looked nice. I signed the contract." However, she noted that a day before she was supposed to check in, she did a deep dive on the property's website and found out she was checking into a hostel with rooms of about 32 square feet and shared bathrooms.
How did Lynn deal with the information? She got in touch with the hostel's staff but, unfortunately, was disappointed. Speaking about how the conversation went, she said, "I emailed the person I was emailing with, and I was like, 'Hi. I didn't realize that this had shared bathrooms. I don't feel comfortable with that due to, like, safety purposes.' I was also like, 'I have three suitcases. Like, I just physically can't fit into a room that's 32 square feet'…They said, no, babe, this is a hostel."
Lynn ended her video by saying she didn't have a hotel for the next three days. She also mentioned that three other influencers were in the city besides her, and they were staying in hotels charging them $1,800 a night. She said she didn't know whether she should be spending that much on her stay.
Some commenters on Lynn's post thought staying at the hostel was a good idea, with some noting it would be a unique experience worth documenting. One person wrote, "Do it for the plot." Another said, "Hostel would make for good content."

George Armstrong, a fitness influencer who is known for preaching against cheating, found himself accused of the very thing on Friday when his account was accused of doing just that.
The posts came from his wife, Bailey Scarlett, who accessed his account and released a series of slides that appeared to be Armstrong confessing to cheating on her with Indonesian prostitutes and Dubai escorts. The posts were taken down quickly after they were published, and Scarlett later apologized, explaining that the behavior described in the slides did not take place during their relationship.
Each slide was written from Armstrong's point of view and addressed his followers, who are used to seeing him share fitness tips. The first slide was rather harsh.
Published on his Instagram, it said: "I like to cheat on the mother of my child and wife bailey.scarlett with Indonesian Prostitutes. And I definitely don't practice what I preach on Instagram, I also w**k to p**n and frequently get escorts in Dubai. But I will act like it's the most weakest thing in the world on Instagram to other men and shame them for it! I have no respect for the mother of my child or my wife. I am no outstanding father anyone should look up to. I am nothing more than a cheat who has portrayed this image for Instagram but sadly that's all it is. An image:)"
The slide was a direct hit on Armstrong's carefully constructed image.

Lady Gaga released a statement through her Haus Labs makeup brand, apologizing to beauty influencer Golloria.
Golloria previously made a video calling out one of the line's new products for a non-inclusive shade range, though Haus Labs asked her to remove it as the product was under an embargo.
"I truly apologize to Golloria," Gaga said in the statement, with the brand adding that it paused the launch and added five more inclusive shades following Golloria's "powerful voice."
Lady Gaga has apologized to social media star Golloria following a clash the pop icon's beauty brand Haus Labs had with the beauty influencer over a new product.

The influencer later said that Haus Labs reached out and asked for the post to be removed, which Gaga's statement confirmed — "on the technicality that she was under embargo," as the product hadn't yet hit stores.

Wednesday’s Senate confirmation hearing wasn’t the first time much of the American public met Dr. Nicole Saphier and heard her perspective; President Donald Trump’s nominee for US surgeon general is a health and wellness influencer who has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers through her podcast and social media platforms.
In some ways, the surgeon general position – often referred to as the nation’s doctor – is the original health influencer, tasked with translating science into terms that are easy to understand and guiding the public on ways to improve their health.
“For a decade, I have specialized in translating complex, fast-evolving medical information on various media platforms into content that millions of Americans can understand and use, including during the uncertainty of the global pandemic,” Saphier, a radiologist and Fox News contributor, said in Wednesday’s hearing.
“I realized then how badly this country needs public health communication that is straightforward and grounded in the best evidence available,” she said. “My years of communicating directly with the public have prepared me to explain complex topics in a way that they can understand.”
But experts say that social media has changed how people receive health information, with increasingly blurred lines as to who is considered to have authority and expertise – and that bringing an influencer into the role of surgeon general presents both opportunities and challenges.

NEW YORK — Forget the Honey Deuces and the celebrities-in-the-audience shots. The finest element of the U.S. Open — the Grand Slam held in the largest tennis stadium in the world — will always be the tennis itself. The trick, in 2026 and beyond, is how to get audiences to actually care about, you know, that tennis.
Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev did their very best on Sunday, bringing both narrative and firepower to the four-set men's final. Yes, the influencers were posing at every aisle on every changeover, and more than a few fans appeared unclear on the basic concept of "sit your ******* down while the point is going on." But when Shelton and Zverev locked in, unleashing serves that nearly hit 150 mph or lashing shots that skipped a fingernail's width in bounds, the crowd was right there with them, rising and falling, a living thing that pulsed with energy unlike any other stadium in tennis.
Less than 24 hours earlier on the same court, Elena Rybakina finished off Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set triumph of resolve and willpower over emotion and firepower. Sabalenka, who had won the previous two Opens, entered as the crowd favorite. But the fans in the stands at Arthur Ashe love hard-fought on-court battles as much as they love the endless scroll of celebrity cameos on the video boards. So after a couple dozen Hollywood and music stars took their turns to varying volumes of applause, the crowd focused in on the match. Sabalenka drew motivational cheers, and then, once the result was clear, Rybakina inspired celebratory ones.
The two matches ended this year's U.S. Open on a triumphant note. At last, the tennis tournament centered on actual tennis, not ticket prices or runway-style entrances to Arthur Ashe Stadium or hundred-dollar chicken nuggets. (Yes, I admit it, I was part of the problem with that last one.)
The influencers' presence dominated the early coverage of the U.S. Open, in large part because they did their job of drawing attention to themselves. But by the time the tournament reached its final crescendo, the influencers had moved on. Two hours before the men's final, the cheapest tickets to get in the stadium could be had for less than $400, suggesting that tennis for tennis' sake isn't the primary motivator for many attending the U.S. Open.
