Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday drew a truly star-studded guest list, making headlines as one of the year’s most talked-about A-list events. The James Bond–themed celebration, held at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Beverly Hills estate, reportedly welcomed Oprah Winfrey, Adele, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Bruno Mars, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Paris Hilton, Snoop Dogg, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson, among many others.

And, of course, the Kardashian-Jenner family attended.  Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner were spotted. Travis Barker, Scott Disick, and Tristan Thompson also came to celebrate. And, of course, Kris’ boyfriend, Corey Gamble, was there by her side.

“Kris looked stunning,” an insider told People. “It was a total Old Hollywood glam. Everyone was talking about how amazing she looked.”

According to TMZ, Beyoncé and Jay-Z also attended the high-profile birthday bash. However, paparazzi didn’t get any photos of the famous couple arriving at Bezos’ mansion or mingling with Kris’ friends. Sources told the publication that the ultra-famous couple was able to evade paparazzi by taking a prime parking spot, enabling them to hop out of the car after pulling up to the mansion. However, photos showed Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, in attendance, proving she didn’t mind being seen.

Fans think the couple’s attendance proves Kris Jenner is taken seriously by other celebrities

Before becoming the powerhouse matriarch of one of the world’s most famous families, Kris Jenner came from humble beginnings. Kris worked at a donut shop and later as a flight attendant for American Airlines in her early 20s, experiences she has said taught her discipline and people skills that would later define her career. Her first major life shift came when she married high-profile attorney Robert Kardashian in 1978. This helped her click with the Los Angeles social scene, allowing her to lay the groundwork for her future as a manager and media mogul.

Fans on Reddit respect Kris’ hustle and believe that Beyoncé and Jay-Z showing up to her 70th birthday party proves she’s taken seriously in the celebrity sphere.

“Real famous are hanging out with the KJs,” one Reddit user commented. “They’re taken seriously.”

“Love to see Kris being at the top with all of these rich celebrities and taken serious by them [sic],” another fan wrote.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z showed up and showed out for Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash. However, they once missed a huge event in Kardashian-Jenner history: Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West’s wedding in 2014. Kris once commented on the famous couple missing the event.

“There was so much commotion and excitement, I never gave it a second thought,” Kris said on an Australian radio station at the time, according to Rolling Out. “I know they sent really nice wishes to Kanye and Kim. I just assumed they were working.”

Rumors swirled that Beyoncé was snubbing Kim Kardashian at the time. However, after Kim and West exchanged vows, Beyoncé wished them well on social media, proving the rumors wrong.
