Kendall Jenner, like her sister Kim Kardashian, dressed to sparkle last night at her family’s annual Christmas Eve party in one of her most formal and glitzy looks of the year.
The model opted to wear a strapless red Valentino dress with her brown hair styled down and straight. She paired it with a nude lip.
Jenner shared a photo of the dress from the back on her Instagram Story while her friend Carter Gregory posted a video of Jenner, holding a drink and walking in the outfit toward the camera. Her sisters Kim and Khloé Kardashian also appeared in the clip.
The 27-year-old model spoke to W in September about how she prioritizes her various career projects, from modeling to her family’s reality show The Kardashians. Fashion, of course, was her first love and focus.
“Modeling has been a part of my life for a really long time,” she said. “There was a time when it was my highest priority and focus. I love that I’m at a place now where I can compartmentalize different aspects of my life. I’m heavily involved in growing my businesses and giving them a lot of attention, and I love being able to be on set for things that I love doing. At a certain point, it was all moving so fast, but now I feel like I can really appreciate it a lot more and be super present.”
She also addressed her own career in fashion, saying, “I was 14 when I first started modeling, and 16 or 17 when I came to New York and started taking it super seriously. A lot has happened in 10 years, and the evolution is exciting.”
