Supermodel Kendall Jenner made a dramatic festive entrance, commanding attention in a head-turning ensemble for a Christmas Eve celebration on Wednesday night.
A Show-Stopping Arrival in Crimson Sequins
The 30-year-old reality TV star was spotted stepping out for an evening soirée, captivating onlookers in a bright red, sequin midi dress that elegantly clung to her figure. As she made her way to the event, she swayed and strutted with the confidence befitting a catwalk veteran. Adding a layer of opulent warmth to the daring look, she wore an extravagant, black fur coat that enveloped her, creating a striking contrast against the dress's vibrant hue and its daringly low-cut neckline.
This glamorous appearance followed her earlier showcase of festive decorations at her $23 million Montecito ranch. It appears Jenner changed outfits specifically for this second event, following her family's annual Christmas Eve gathering. Reports suggest the famous clan opted for a more 'intimate' celebration this year, scaling back from their usual over-the-top extravaganza, which seemingly allowed Kendall time to attend another party.
Festive Glamour From Day to Night
Upon arrival, Jenner made a grand entrance by removing her outerwear, carrying the luxurious black fur coat on her arm to fully reveal the statement-making dress. She accessorised the opulent holiday outfit with a silver, quilted handbag and a pair of white slingback pumps featuring a contrasting black toecap. Her raven black hair was slicked back into a tight bun, drawing attention to a pair of elegant, gold, snowflake-inspired earrings.
Earlier on Christmas Eve, Jenner had already given her 285 million Instagram followers a taste of her festive style. She shared a mirror selfie showcasing a different glamorous look: a vintage Mugler ensemble featuring a cream-coloured blazer top with fur details and a matching miniskirt, which highlighted her toned physique. This chic outfit, reminiscent of the tight-fitting white Phoebe Philo gown she wore for last year's family party, was paired with a dazzling tennis necklace and gold earrings. In the photo, she posed casually with a glass of red wine.
Intimate Family Celebrations and Photo Booth Fun
At the party itself, Jenner embraced the festive spirit by making use of a photo booth. She shared one stunning portrait on her Instagram Story where she was seen playfully biting her ring finger, accompanied by the simple message: 'Merry Christmas!' She also joined her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, for some sibling fun in the booth. The 28-year-old makeup mogul shared two photo strips containing eight poses on her own Story, many of which captured the duo hugging and giggling together.
The decision for a smaller gathering was confirmed by Khloe Kardashian, who also shared glimpses of the night with her followers. Dressed impeccably, Khloe explained that after their mother Kris Jenner's recent lavish 70th birthday bash, the family wanted something more low-key. "We are not doing a big Christmas Eve party this year, because we just had my mom's huge 70th and we just wanted something more intimate, so we're doing just family," she said. However, she added, "But of course, we have to still be so dressed up, because that's what we love to do." This marks the second consecutive year the famous family has chosen a more intimate gathering over their traditionally large-scale Christmas Eve soiree.
