Throwback to When Jennifer Lawrence Recalled Her Awkward First Encounter With Kanye West
With her self-effacing jokes and, of course, the acting talent that garnered her an Academy Award, Jennifer Lawrence has emerged to be one of the most prominent stars in the industry. But a few years ago when funny and fearless in Hollywood were Kanye West-owned trademarks, many drew similarities between the Oscar-winning singer and Grammy-winning rapper.
As fate would have it, Jennifer Lawrence was hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live when Kanye West’s then-wife was making an appearance. While fans got a taste of Lawrence and Kim Kardashian‘s unlikely comradery, the show stealer was definitely the actress’ encounter with West.

Jennifer Lawrence’s tenure as a guest host in 2017 was nothing short of entertaining. The actress recounted her first encounter with Kim Kardashian. They had a very fan-esque run-in where Lawrence screamed from across the lobby that she loved watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The tale only got better as Kanye West stepped into the picture. Lawrence revealed she was trying to pull off the ninja technique of taking her bra off from under her shirt when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Lo-and-behold, it was none other than Kanye West.
Lawrence almost screamed at the rapper before realizing who he was. But the awkward encounters between the Oscar-winning actress and Ye did not end there.
If you thought the first encounter was awkward, the second encounter truly breaks the barometer of awkwardness.

While it may not be the case for every fan who screams “I love your show” to Kim Kardashian across a hallway, it worked like a charm for Jennifer Lawrence. The Oscar-winning actress earned herself a seat at the Kardashians’ dinner table. She used this opportunity to get to know the family better while also being three sheets to the wind.
The dinner unfolded into a drunk Jennifer Lawrence insisting to be styled by Kanye West. After all, Ye was the biggest name in the fashion industry at that time. However, the Hunger Games actress proceeded to get what the SKIMS owner describes as “b*tt naked” as she waited for West. Safe to say, her styling appointment with Kanye West was canceled by Kim Kardashian that night.
