A Look At Kris Jenner And Jennifer Lawrence's Friendship

Kris Jenner is undoubtedly a member of Hollywood's most elite, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the momager and reality TV star is friends with just about every A-lister in town. From former Sports Illustrated supermodel Chrissy Teigen to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards (via ScreenRant), it seems as though Jenner is a dear friend to all. This includes "Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence, who Jenner first became friends with because of Lawrence's obsession with "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

Kim Kardashian, who appeared as a guest while Lawrence was hosting, backed her story up, telling the audience, "So Jennifer came over for dinner two weeks ago, I've never seen my mom more drunk in our lives. It was so funny. They had a few too many drinks for my taste."

The Oscar-winning actress even admitted that she had demanded Kardashian to style her after she consumed all those martinis, and during an appearance on Steve Harvey's talk show a few weeks later, Jenner elaborated on her wild night with Lawrence. "She had some time off and I invited her over for dinner," Jenner explained (via Daily Mail). "We started having a few cocktails and we were having so much fun. And so you know, as girls do when they all get together, we ended up in my closet -– looking at clothes and some stuff and she started trying some stuff on."
