Celeste Barber has sparked concern among her fans after she shared a photo of herself posing with Kris Jenner.
The Australian comedian, 41, rubbed shoulders with Hollywood’s most stylish celebrities on Sunday as she hosted the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards in Los Angeles.
Documenting the event on Instagram, Celeste shared several photos of herself mingling with VIP guests, including actress Jennifer Garner, pop star Doja Cat and stylist Law Roach.
However fans were surprised to see Celeste standing side-by-side with Kris, given the funnywoman is known for impersonating and mocking the American reality star’s daughters online.
‘Kris looks so uncomfortable,’ one follower commented.
‘Were you not allowed to touch Kris Jenner? She looks so awkward,’ someone else remarked.
Despite this, Celeste made it clear that she and Kris got along swimmingly in the caption by claiming that the famous momager ‘wants to adopt her’.
Some users meanwhile expressed concerns that Celeste may lose her famously unfiltered, self-deprecating sense of humour if she falls into the Hollywood ‘it’ crowd.
‘Really? They will get their hooks into you and you won’t be funny anymore. Don’t conform to Hollywood!’ one wrote, as someone else brutally remarked: ‘I have to unfollow you. Kris Jenner? Bye’.
‘You look lovely! Please, keep away from the Jenner/Kardashian family! Definitely stay around Jennifer Garner, she’s a peach and keep being who you are,’ someone else agreed.
Celeste has made a career out of poking fun at celebrities like the Kardashian/Jenner clan by parodying their social media posts.
In December, Celeste famously took a dig at Kylie Jenner’s Christmas Instagram post after the socialite uploaded photo of herself wearing a glittery red dress and oversized bow fascinator.
Celeste’s chaotic interpretation saw her model a misshapen red dress hitched up to a similar length as Kylie’s, while clutching a half-drunk bottle of wine.
In the caption, Celeste wrote: ‘Holidays can be rough. Be nice.’
She also parodied Kyle’s Acne Studios fashion campaign in September.
In the original clip, a dirt-smeared Kylie was seen posing in front of a white backdrop wearing a crop top and a low-slung skirt, while staring moodily into the camera.
Poking fun at the viral clip, Celeste shared a video of herself standing in front of a white doorway, covered in smears of dark mud, along with the caption: ‘5 minutes into the school holidays’.
She similarly took aim at Kendall Jenner in June 2022 by spoofing the model’s underwear-clad pose in a hammock.
While neither Kendall nor Kylie have responded to Celeste’s take-downs, their half-sister Kourtney Kardashian had no qualms calling her out back in March 2019.
At the time, Kourtney had posted a photo of herself posing completely naked to promote her lifestyle brand Poosh.
Celeste posted her own version of the raunchy image, alongside the biting caption: ‘When you’re flat out trying to keep the world interested in your talent’.
Clapping back, Kourney commented on the post: ‘When you’ve got so much talent, might as well share it.’
