You had to know Kanye and the Kardashian family which he'll officially, legally join tomorrow, were going to show the fuck out for wedding weekend. And what better way to kick things off than a brunch event hosted by none other than Valentino Garavani at his Paris estate. The Wests, Kardashians, Jenners and friends all rose to the occasion, swagging out supremely and teaching us a few key stunt facts along the way. Peep a recap of their regal afternoon for Everything We Learned From the KimYe Wedding Brunch.
Kanye ingratiates his fashion designer hosts by wearing their designs to their homes.
Usually, brunch attire consists of a crewneck, comfy kicks, and some sunglasses and advil 'cause last night was too real. Kanye took it to the dressier end of the spectrum by rocking a midnight blue tuxedo from Valentino's spring/summer 2014 collection. Going air-tie kept the outfit sophisticated, but didn't take it into full-blown formal territory, and the leather shirt gives it the signature Yeezy stamp. Take note if you ever get the chance to brunch on a lavish-ass estate.
Bruce Jenner's gives negative five fucks about implied chateau brunch dress code.
Looking at Bruce you'd think the fam was just having a typical cozy brunch in Santa Monica. That athletic Normcore steez is ride or die! Don't be surprised if we see old paintbrush-esque ponytails on Valentino's runway next season.
Valentino is a fucking gentleman.
Look at this stud. Even at 82 he knows how to treat a lady. All aspiring gentlemen better take note of how he's gently but firmly supporting Kourtney as she perilously walks over 17th century cobblestones and tries not to get dirt on her dress. As long as you can pull off this maneuver flawlessly, you don't even need Renaissance-era sculptures of pig monsters in the background to impress.
Valentino knows that, if you wanna keep the outfit on 100 for the 'Gram, you need a temporary Fonzworth Bentley.
You think the appearance of rain could damper the 'Grams of such a legend? Valentino probably has dudes on every separate lawn with umbrellas at the ready in case the notion of taking a photo strikes him. The tonal but mismatching camel jacket and white pants set off the greenery of both his tie and his luscious estate. Something to definitely notice, when you get past gawking at Khloé and Kendall.
Kylie's still killing the blue hair.
Like all younger siblings in large families do, Kylie took strides to set herself apart from the pack and dyed her hair a blue ombré recently. And she's still killing it across the pond, posting the least showy pic out of the group as if to subtly say she's stunting on everyone so hard she don't need no close-up.
Keep off the grass.
So it's impossible to know if the groundskeepers forbid guests from trampling over the immaculate lawns, or if Khloe's heels are just too insane to even attempt to tread on the soft greenery. But do you think Valentino and his squad ever get hammered off amaretto and play Ferrari polo on the grounds? Being rich is sick.
Piracy is tolerated at the Valentino estate.
If you take a second to look away from that weird double-biker-jacket-thing and look closely, you'll see skulls and crossbones on Jonathan Cheban's slippers. Can't lie, it's kinda dope that he brought a traditionally badass pirate symbols into such a plush manor. But we all know where the real booty was at this brunch.
Andre Leon Talley has a caftan for every occasion.
We knew Andre was packing a seriously versatile wardrobe for this wedding, and that it included a couture Valentino caftan from 2007. Looks like homie busted it out early and, like Kanye, wore a namesake piece designed by the brunch's host. For real though, does ALT have a caftan or cape for every single occasion? What does his "up at 2 a.m. zooted off the Roor and giggling at Bob's Burgers" caftan look like? And where can we get one?
Valentino, like us mortals, can't help trying the icing on a cake before it's served.
Valentino, nooo! Everything was going splendidly and you nearly ruined it! Oh, what the hell. We all know how much Valentino loves sweets. And he was so kind to open up his home to the whole Klan that why shouldn't he get first dibs/dips? Also, that better be an ice cream cake, 'cause we know how much Kanye loves ice cream.
Virgil Abloh still wears Pyrex.
This is the moment streetwear said, "WE MADE IT." Except for when truckloads of Perrier are delivered and unloaded by regular dudes, we're gonna go ahead and assume this is one of the only hoodies that has ever graced the grounds of Valentino's estate
