Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian and more party at ‘epic’ Art Basel bash
Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Serena Williams and a slew of other A-listers celebrated Art Basel Miami’s 20th year at Wayne and Cynthia Boich’s star-studded party on Friday night.
“Everyone who was anyone was there,” one partygoer told Page Six of the annual “After Dark” party at the Boichs’ private mansion, which kicked off with a nearly 1-hour performance by 50 Cent.
The legendary rapper took the stage at around 11 p.m. to perform his big hits, including “Candy Shop,” “Just a Lil Bit,” “P.I.M.P.,” “In Da Club” and “Disco Inferno.”
Meanwhile, DiCaprio, who has been making the rounds on the Art Basel party circuit, arrived to the festivities via boat and in his signature baseball cap.
The movie star, 48, was seen enjoying himself on the crowded dance floor with close pal Tobey Maguire during 50 Cent’s performance before making their way to a VIP table.
We hear DiCaprio, who was seen dancing among a sea of models, was approached by a fan who tried to say “hi,” but the person accidentally walked into a pool of water on his way there.
“This poor guy totally ruined his shoes for Leo,” a spy mused, adding, “It was probably worth it.”
Across the crowd, Kim, 42, and her sister Khloé Kardashian, 38, were seen partying at their own VIP table with Venus and Serena Williams.
One insider shared that the Kardashian sisters pulled up to the party as 50 Cent was leaving and convinced the rapper to get back on stage for a second set.
“Kim and Khloé Kardashian walked into the mansion to be escorted to their friend’s table and as they were walking, they saw Wayne Boich, 50 Cent, and Serena Williams talking,” the source said.
“50 said he was headed out and [Kim and Khloé] responded, ‘Did we miss your set?,’ prompting the rapper to ask, ‘Do you wanna see it? Good, let’s go.'”
50 Cent proceeded to go on stage for round two with Kim, Khloé, Jonathan “Foodgod” Cheban, and restaurateur David Grutman by his side for the surprise encore. The rapper also passed out shots of Branson cognac to guests inside the house.
But the special performances didn’t stop there. Travis Scott was seen arriving and taking shots with Kylie Jenner before hitting the stage at the posh soirée.
“During his set, he pulled up the host Wayne Boich and Dwyane Wade to throw back a shot of Don Julio 1942 with him,” an insider said.
The “Sicko Mode” rapper was seen making out with Jenner, with whom he shares two kids, in the DJ booth.
He also performed many of his biggest tracks, including “Goosebumps,” “Highest in the Room” and “No Bystanders.”
We’re told Venus, 42, was seen grabbing cocktails at one of the bars for the “normal attendees” before going to Kim’s VIP section.
Cuba Gooding Jr. seemed to be having the best time at the party and was going up to random guests to strike up a conversation.
At one point, he surprised attendees by taking over the stage for a killer karaoke set, in which he belted out Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”
“That was for you, Travis!” the “Jerry Maguire” star, 54, said into the mic before exiting the stage and moshing with Scott and Zack Bia to beats by Chase B.
When DJ duo Sofi Tukker got on stage to spin beats, Khloé and Sean “Diddy” Combs were seen salsa dancing inside the Boichs’ stunning living room of their waterfront estate.
“It was honestly the most epic party of Art Basel,” a giddy guest gushed to a friend.
Other A-list guests at the Art Week bash included Jared Leto, Anastasia Karanikolaou, Bobby Shmurda, Michael Bay, Dave Portnoy, Karolina Kurkova, Shane Battier, Rande Gerber, Justine Skye, Matt Barnes, The Chainsmokers, Daymond John, Floyd Mayweather, Hannah Bronfmon, Brendan Fallis, Skepta, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union and artist Hebru Brantley.
We’re told over 1,000 people were turned away from the door.
Prior to the exclusive event, several heavy hitters enjoyed a private dinner with Wayne and Cynthia, including Related Group’s Bruce Beal, Equinox’s Harvey Spevak, Shuttershock CEO Jon Oringer, Marc Packer, Casamigos co-founder Rande Gerber, Catch co-founders Eugene Remm and Mark Birnbaum, Orlando Bravo, Andrew Mathias of SL Green, Josh Wander, Michael and Nikki Simkins, and La Fête Wine Company owner Donae Burston.
The decadent meal was paired with cocktails by Haig Club, Don Julio, and champagne by Armand de Brignac.
Earlier in the day, Kim and Khloé were spotted at the Art Basel Miami Beach fair before hitting Nylon’s party at Grutman’s Strawberry Moon.
