2011 Paris Fashion Week : P Diddy with Karl Lagerfeld

 

P Diddy added a bit of hip hop swagger to haute couture when he pitched up for the Paris Menswear Fashion Week shows tonight.

The 41-year-old rap mogul – currently plugging new album Last Train To Paris with his outfit Diddy Dirty Money – rubbed shoulders with fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld, 77, at the Dior Homme catwalk show.

Real name Sean Combs, Diddy was at the glitzy bash with his Dirty Money backing singers Kalenna Harper and Dawn Richards to see the label’s Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection.

The rap mogul hosted the UK album launch on Thursday at the Pigalle club in London’s Piccadilly, and attracted a motley selection of z-list stars and big hitters on the UK’s hip hop and grime scene.

He was also seen last night on Graham Norton’s BBC1 chat show, on which he was a guest along with Hollywood star Vince Vaughn and South Shields comedian Sarah Millican.

He also performed new single Coming Home live on the show.

Talking to Graham beforehand, he also said he would like to meet the Queen having already met her grandsons princes William and Harry.

Diddy said: ‘I’d like to meet her. She doesn’t have to hang out with me, but I’d to go over for some tea or something and we could just kick it.’

He also confirmed that much like Her Majesty, he had his own butler after falling for the idea watching British films.

He confessed: ‘It was watching movies about London. I said to myself, “I need to get one!”‘

P Diddy’s rowdy party in London on Thursday meanwhile saw the star joined by Alan Carr, Courtney Love, Small Island actor and ex-So Solid singer Ashley Walters, former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan, Courtney Love, ex EastEnder and aspiring pop-star Preeya Kalidas, T4 presenter Jameela Jamil, Calum Best and MTV Europe presenter Laura Whitmore.

Stars of the UK’s hip hop and grime scene, including Tinchy Stryder, Skepta who has collaborated with Diddy on a remix of track Hello, Good Morning, Reelz and Roll Deep were also in attendance.

The biggest gossip of the night was about Ashley Cole making his official public debut with I’m A Celebrity and Playboy model girlfriend Kayla Collins.
