Kanye West, 44, goes undercover in black balaclava and matte jacket at Paris Fashion Week Balenciaga show


He’s one of the world’s most famous showmen.

And Kanye West, 44, certainly made an entrance as he arrived at the Balenciaga Haute Couture Show, as part of Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.

The rapper could be seen wearing a black and white balaclava and a matte black puffer-style jacket with matching trousers, while he had Yeezy trainers on his feet.

The star appeared in an energetic mood as he leapt out of the Mercedes people carrier he was chauffeured in.

As he ran into the building the material of his trousers and jacket crumpled, giving texture to his attire.

The musician was spotted inside the venue by The New York Times fashion director Vanessa Friedman as he spoke to racing driver Lewis Hamilton, 36, who finished in fourth place in the Austrian Grand Prix at the weekend.

Kanye’s appearance at the Balenciaga show has sparked speculation he is to release another piece from his Gap x Yeezy collaboration.

Last month he put out a light blue jacket which quickly sold out and there has been no word on when the rest of the collection will go on sale.

The shape and fabric of the black jacket Kanye wore in Paris on Wednesday was almost identical to the blue coat he released last month.

The US star wore the blue piece out the day before it went on sale, so his clothing in France could be a hint of things to come.

Kanye was spotted in Provence, France last month with model Irina Shayk, 35, as it emerged he was dating the Russian beauty.

Hitmaker Kanye and Irina confirmed heated rumors of a new romance amid his divorce from wife of seven years Kim Kardashian, 40.

Rumors of the pair’s romance began late last month, with claims that Kanye was ‘secretly’ dating the Russian supermodel, who shares a child with actor Bradley Cooper.

DailyMail.com learned Kanye and Irina arrived at a hotel at the start of June, staying for three nights before departing around lunch time three days later.

The rapper is believed to have hired out the luxury space, which was closed to the public during their stay.

France has always been a favored destination for the Yeezy star, who has spent extensive time there with his estranged wife Kim – having whisked her off to Paris when they first began dating in 2012.

Kim famously sat front row at Kanye’s runaway show during Paris Fashion Week in March 2012, which amplified the huge buzz surrounding their relationship at the time.

Then in 2014, ahead of their lavish nuptials in Florence, Italy, Kim and Kanye had an extravagant pre-wedding party at the Palace of Versailles in Paris.

Reality star Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February this year. They share four children daughters North and Chicago, aged seven and three, and sons Saint, five, and Psalm, two.
