Kourtney Kardashian displayed anything but celebratory spirits as she made her way to mother Kris Jenner's milestone 70th birthday celebration over the weekend. The 46-year-old reality star showcased a distinctly frosty expression while being chauffeured to the extravagant Beverly Hills affair, her face etched with visible irritation and annoyance.
Family Tensions Surface
This momentary display of agitation might have been fleeting, or perhaps revealed deeper underlying tensions currently playing out on her family's reality television programme. Kourtney's ongoing feud with sister Khloe Kardashian has become central storylines in their show, adding context to her seemingly displeased demeanour. Khloe, 41, naturally numbered among the many celebrity guests attending the birthday extravaganza.
The Poosh founder has long cultivated a reputation for her characteristically cool disposition and deadpan vocal delivery. Earlier this year, she even poked fun at her own reliably frosty facial expressions through an Instagram post, quipping: 'the happiest people (smiling on the inside ;)'.
Hollywood Royalty Gathers
Saturday's lavish James Bond-themed soirée honoured the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch's significant birthday milestone, attracting an astonishing roster of Hollywood aristocracy. Among the approximately 300 invitees were entertainment heavyweights including Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Adele, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg, Gayle King, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, and Naomi Watts, all dressed impeccably for the black-tie affair.
Despite extensive filming by guests and attendees, insiders confirmed to People magazine that no reality television cameras received permission to document the event internally, marking this as one of the rare Kardashian celebrations not captured for their television series.
'It was just all about celebrating Kris,' a source disclosed to People. 'And it was everything you'd expect from Kris: over-the-top, glamorous and full of love from her family. It was obvious that she had the best night.'
Celebratory Excess and Neighbourhood Disruption
The birthday festivities proved so extravagant that Beverly Hills neighbours placed multiple 911 calls throughout the evening. According to TMZ reports, police officers dispatched to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's $165 million Beverly Hills estate following complaints about excessively loud music emanating from the A-list celebration.
Sources at the party revealed the noise 'was off the charts,' particularly during a live performance by Bruno Mars that sent the glamorous crowd into enthusiastic frenzy. Under California legislation, noise complaints receive serious consideration, especially within residential areas like Beverly Hills where local ordinances prohibit excessive sound after 10 p.m.
Officers initially conversed with security personnel and issued warnings, but their involvement didn't conclude there. Law enforcement returned later that night upon discovering that substantial decorative hedges had been positioned outside the property to obstruct the street, an arrangement that apparently required permits the hosts hadn't secured. The artificial greenery received orders for removal just as dozens of celebrities began departing the celebration.
Another insider previously told the outlet that Kris had been 'excited about turning 70,' adding: 'Sure, she looks amazing, but it's her energy that stands out... she has this nonstop enthusiasm for life.'
Jenner and her longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble maintain close friendship with Sánchez and Bezos, having attended the couple's Venice wedding this summer alongside frequent joint date nights and public displays of mutual support.
