Undeterred by even the biggest challenges, fiance Kanye West was a man on a mission on Thursday when he browsed the Chanel store in Beverly Hills.
The usually stone-faced 36-year-old rapper must have found the perfect gift for the mother of his child, however, as he had a satisfied grin after the shopping trip.

Smiling from ear-to-ear, the Gold Digger singer strode purposefully from the designer boutique with the expression of a successful Santa.
The recent cold spell in normally-sunny Los Angeles prompted the Chicago native to bundle up in a stylish long suede coat with a black skull shirt and jeans underneath.
On his feet, Kanye wore sporty black boots with tan leather detailing, while a large silver chain laid around his neck.

The Yeezus singer was reportedly with fashion stylist and designer Tracey Mills at Chanel, who no doubt gave him essential advice on what to buy the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star.
This Christmas will be a special holiday for the couple as it marks their first since both daughter Nori's birth and their engagement.
'He really is the most romantic, sweetest person I’ve ever met in my entire life,' Kim, 34, recently told E! News, and when asked if they would elope this holiday season, she didn't rule it out.
'No, not that I know of, but he is a kind of random, spur-of-the-moment type of guy... so, you never know.'

Earlier in the day, West wasn't looking quite as dignified when he battled with the swing-wing doors of his expensive car.
The 5ft8 singer appeared to be having difficulty getting out of the Mercedes SLS McLaren sports car in Hollywood, as he held his cell phone in one hand and attempted to manhandle the door with the other.
Determined not to drop his call, the Bound 2 singer struggled to escape from the sunken driver's seat of the silver sports car, with his feet stretching out to reach the ground.

New-father Kanye bought the $500,000 vehicle around two years ago, so he has had plenty of practice climbing in and out.
But his small stature and clumsy nature leads to inevitable problems with the Formula 1-inspired Roadster.
After acquiring a nasty cut on his forehead a few months ago from when he walked into a signpost in Beverly Hills while talking to Kim, Kanye is no doubt concerned about getting into any more accidents.

There certainly isn't any room for a baby seat for six-month-old daughter, North, in the Merc - and only just space for Kim Kardashian to squeeze in next to her fiance.
However, the couple have plenty of other cars to share that are a lot more spacious, and are even rumoured to have bought a kidnap-proof armoured SUV by Dartz Motorz Company and a $400,000 on a Chevrolet Kodiak.
On the sporty side, the millionaire rapper also owns an Aston Martin DB9 worth an estimated $200,000, and a Lamborghini Aventador that was a $400,000 gift from Kim, who reportedly also has a Ferrari 458 Italia priced at $600,000.
