Even Kim Kardashian West couldn’t keep up with her famous family as they planned a deeply touching and incredibly personal blowout for her 40th birthday. The sweet surprise was documented on Wednesday’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which centered around the mother of four’s milestone birthday.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kim was unable to carry out her big birthday plans, which she said included a “Wild, Wild Mrs. West” party in Wyoming and an epic robotic piece from designer Thierry Mugler.
Disappointed that she had to give up on her plans, Kim seemed content to simply revisit her most memorable KUWTK moments with her family for a special. What she didn’t know was that they were secretly planning a second celebration with family friend and celebrity party planner, Mindy Weiss, who has known momager Kris Jenner since Kourtney Kardashian’s birth.
The party recreated all of Kim’s most iconic birthdays, which were documented on video by her late father, Robert Kardashian. The KKW Beauty founder’s sisters decided to get in on her 10th bash, choreographed dance and all.
“When Kim was turning 10 years old I was throwing a big party at the house. And I came up with the idea that I would get all of her girlfriends to give a performance,” Kris explained. “I thought it would be so much fun to recreate the dance.”
Turns out dancing isn’t the Kardashian-Jenner sisters’ forte as they tried and failed to rehearse the moves.
