Rapper Kanye West, 47, has reportedly hosted an extravagant dinner party in Paris, spending over $50,000 on wine and gourmet food for about 30 guests. This lavish event comes amid Paris Fashion Week, where West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have been making headlines for their public appearances and controversial fashion choices.
According to sources, West spent a staggering $40,800 on wine alone, including five bottles of Pinot Noir at $3,950 each, ten Bordeaux bottles at $1,000 each, and high-end champagnes like Dom Perignon and Cristal Brut. The menu was equally opulent, featuring $3,100 worth of smoked salmon, caviar at $320 per 30 grams, and $1,340 of premium steak.
An insider told The Sun, “Kanye loves to be a wonderful host. He isn’t afraid to spend tons of money on food and drink. He loves Paris and French cuisine.” The dinner took place in a private apartment in the Quartier Saint Germain des Pres, with guests including French collaborators and contacts from the music and sports industries.
This extravagant display comes on the heels of a seemingly tense exchange between West and Censori earlier in the week, observed as they returned to their hotel after a fashion show. The couple appeared distant, raising eyebrows among onlookers.
Meanwhile, Censori’s revealing outfits during Fashion Week have sparked concern among young Parisians. Some locals have described her recent appearance in a barely-there tape-made outfit as “worrying”. Sarra Sean, a 20-year-old linguist, commented, “She’s free to do what she wants with her own body, but it’s a bit weird.”
The couple’s behavior and fashion choices have led to discussions about celebrity influence and responsibility. San Zaya, an 18-year-old student, emphasized the importance of celebrities setting good examples, particularly West’s influence as a world-famous artist.
Despite concerns about potential legal issues caused by Censori’s risquĂ© outfits, Parisian legal experts have dismissed such notions. A source from the city prosecutor’s office stated, “Paris is the world fashion capital; nobody risks prosecution for their fashion choices.”
As Paris Fashion Week continues, the actions and appearances of West and Censori continue to draw attention and spark debate about celebrity culture, fashion, and public behavior.
