The former Kimye couple even posed for a photo together with daughter North.
They were joined by some of the biggest names in music for a Louis Vuitton runway show titled “Virgil Was Here.”
Virgil was a popular designer for Louis Vuitton and Off White.
He passed away on Sunday after secretly battling a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma, for three years.
The 41-year-old’s death was confirmed in a post on his Instagram account.
“We are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved Virgil Abloh, a fiercely devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend,” the caption reads in part.

“He is survived by his loving wife Shannon Abloh, his children Lowe Abloh and Grey Abloh, his sister Edwina Abloh, his parents Nee and Eunice Abloh, and numerous dear friends and colleagues.
“For over two years, Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma. He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture.
KANYE’S QUEST
Kanye says he isn’t giving up on his marriage, and predicts he and Kim will reunite, even though she’s moved on with Pete Davidson.
The Heartless rapper, 44, posted a now deleted video to his Instagram saying his family will get “back together.”
In the dramatic video, Kanye can be heard performing a spoken word piece for Thanksgiving where he admits his “misactions” and how he wants his wife back.
The ‘Thanksgiving Prayer’ video shows a choir dressed in hoodies in a dimly lit warehouse, as Kanye’s voice booms over the images.
“All I think about every day is how I get my family back together and how I heal the pain that I’ve caused,” he said in the prayer.
“I take accountability for my actions. New word alert: misactions. The one thing that all my successes and failures have in common is me.”
Kanye also admitted to drinking problem that set of his “hair trigger temper” and that he came of his medication for bipolar disorder “which left me susceptible to other episodes, which my wife and family and fans have had to endure.”
He said in the prayer that his failed presidential bid went against his family’s wishes and it was something he regretted.
YE’S TRIBUTE TO VIRGIL
Kanye West, who hired Virgil as his longtime creative director, dedicated his Sunday Service to his friend.
Ye’s choir covered Adele’s song, Easy on Me, in a performance dedicated to Abloh, which was live-streamed at dondalive.com.
The website has since been dedicated as a tribute to the fallen designer.
“In loving memory of Virgil Abloh, the creative director of Donda,” the site reads, the words written across a blank gray screen.
Kanye later deleted all of the posts off of his Instagram account.
KARDASHIAN TRIBUTE
Virgil was close friends with the Kardashian/Jenner clan and they flooded social media with tributes to the entrepeneur.
Kendall posted a slew of photos of them together on Instagram and said she was “heartbroken” in her lengthy tribute.
The model, 26, penned: “I can’t believe i’m writing this. if you had the privilege of knowing Virgil, you were one of the lucky ones. He was the kindest, most positive, humble, joyful, and full of light person I have ever known.
“He had the most wonderful way of making you feel so special. His genuine smile would warm your heart. To battle his illness privately perfectly explains the type of man he was, he never wanted anyone to worry about him.
“We have lost a dear friend. no words do my feelings justice at this very moment, but what i can say is that i am absolutely heartbroken. for his family, his kids, his wife, and anyone who cared for him deeply.”
The KUWTK star went on: “V taught me and all of us a very important lesson, although he knew he had only so long, he was bright, he was kind & he was full of love. we all need a little bit of Virgil in us. he leaves us with his influence, to create and change the world. you did just that Virg.
“ur angel here on earth, is now above us. i love you V!!! i will miss you V. i am blessed to have been touched by your energy. i know you’re setting all the best vibes up there. rest peacefully and powerfully beautiful Virgil. till next time.”
Kylie – who has been quiet on social media since the Astroworld tragedy – shared her sister’s tribute on her Instagram Stories.
The 24-year-old wrote, “This really hurts, we love you Virgil,” with a broken heart emoji.
Kris posted several black and white photos of Virgil and wrote: “I’m so so saddened and devastated to hear about the passing of our dear friend Virgil Abloh.
“I’m sending all of my love and prayers to his beautiful family. You are an angel @virgilabloh and we love you…”
Kourtney reposted an announcement from Virgil’s family and simply added: “You changed the world.”
