CELEBRATING HIS 49TH BIRTHDAY LEONARDO DICAPRIO IS JOINED BY HIS A-LIST FRIENDS FOR A LAVISH PARTY IN BEVERLY HILLS

He’s never had trouble attracting female admirers, so it’s no surprise that when Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio turned 49 last week, some of the world’s most glamorous women were on hand to help him celebrate.

Beyoncé and husband Jay Z, Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale and Zoe Saldaña were among the guests at a glittering bash in Beverly Hills, California.

At one point, the Wolf of Wall Street star channelled his performance skills into an old-school rap to the 1994 track DWYCK by Gang Starr and Nice & Smooth – while the crowd bounced around him and waved their hands in the air.

Also on the guest list was actress Salma Hayek, who, like Kim and several of the partygoers, arrived fresh from the stellar Baby2Baby Gala at Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center for children living in poverty. The Frida star had been honoured with the Giving Tree Award in recognition of her work improving the lives of youngsters in need across the world.

Salma wore a shimmering emerald custom-designed halterneck gown by Italian label Bottega Veneta that was enough to turn onlookers green with envy, both at the gala and Leonardo’s exclusive bash.
