Bruce Jenner gave Diane Sawyer a glimpse inside his secret life as a woman during his tell-all on Friday night.

The 65-year-old reality star, who confirmed he is transitioning into a female during the tell-all, took the veteran host inside his closet, where he has two wardrobes for both men's and women's clothing.

He declined to appear dressed as a woman during the interview and also decided not to reveal his female name, but he did give viewers a sneak peek of his new outfits.

Jenner also revealed plans to have a 'glam room' inside his next home.

During the tour he showed Sawyer one of his favourite items - a little black dress with long, see-through sleeves and shoulders.

He said he intended wearing the 'very chic, classy black little outfit' to dinner when he eventually meets his interviewer as a woman.

Behind him, a wardrobe full of dresses could be seen with countless pairs of women's shoes crammed above and below. 

He admitted he sometimes hosts girls nights at his home - but keeps the curtains drawn.

HOW BRUCE JENNER'S FAMILY SHOWED SUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA 

KRIS JENNER: 'Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero.' (She also lashed out out at Diane Sawyer for claiming she did not provide a comment to ABC on Bruce).

KIM KARDASHIAN: 'Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I love you Bruce. #ProudDaughter'

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: 'Couldn't be a more proud daughter. With courage and bravery, let's change the world. I am honored to stand by Bruce's side and support him.'

SCOTT DISICK: No public comment as yet. 

KHLOE KARDASHIAN: 'Just finished watching the #BruceJennerInterview with the family. Bruzer, I'm soooo proud of you! Dads really are heros'

ROB KARDASHIAN: 'You have always been a role model to me and now more than ever, I look up to you. LOVE YOU!'

KENDALL JENNER: 'I love you. so very proud of you, my hero.'

KYLIE JENNER: 'Understandingly, this has been very hard for me. You will hear what I have to say when I'm ready to but this isn't about me. I'm so proud of you, Dad. You are so brave. My beautiful Hero.'

BRANDON JENNER 'Proud son.' (Brandon and his wife Leah joined his siblings Burt, Brody and Casey on the Diane Sawyer interview, where they all voiced their support for Bruce.) 

The 6' 2" former Olympian also joked to Sawyer - who indeed is tall enough to look him in the eye - that she would no longer be the tallest girl in the room. 

Bruce certainly has the clothing hook-ups in the family; among his 10 kids and step-kids there's a handful of models, three of them run the DASH clothing boutique, his son in law Kanye is a fashion designer, and Kim is probably the most photographed women in the world.

He reveled Kim insisted that if he was going to be a girl in the Jenner/Kardashian clan, then she was going to help him look the part.

'Girl, you gotta rock it baby. You gotta look good!,' he quoted her as saying. 

Hidden: He admitted he sometimes hosted 'girls night' at his house - with the curtains drawn

'If you’re doing this thing, I’m helping you. You’re representing the family. You gotta look really good.'

However Bruce claimed he was going to dress a little more 'conservative' than his 34-year-old stepdaughter, and that his style was definitely 'Jenner' rather than Kardashian.

He already shares many of the fashion woes that plague his fellow ladies; when asked what he wanted to look like, he replied: 'I want to have my nail polish long enough before it chips off.'

Earlier in the interview he tried to recall the first time he ever wore a dress.

Even though he couldn't quite remember the exact frock, he distinctly recalled the steps he took to hide what he was doing. 

Sneaking: Bruce recalled the first time he ever wore a dress from his mother's closet, when he marked it so he could put it back exactly as it was so he wouldn't get caught

HOW HOLLYWOOD REACTED TO BRUCE JENNER'S INTERVIEW 

LAVERNE COX: Sending lots of love and support to #BruceJenner and their family tonight. It is always brave to stand in one's truth. Congrats darling.

ROB LOWE: I was proud of Bruce Jenner in Montreal and I'm proud of him tonight. Some have to fight more than the rest of us for their happiness.

ELLEN DEGENERES: Bruce Jenner is a beautiful, brave human being. Sending him lots of love. He's saving lives and opening minds tonight.

MILEY CYRUS: I LOOOOVE LOOOVE LOOOVE Bruce Jenner!!!!!!!

LADY GAGA: #BruceJennerABC Now that is bravery. We have the chance to write this moment in history together. Let's empower people like Bruce all over the world by being loving & not mean

JIMMY FALLON: One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. #BruceJenner #Brave

LARRY KING: I've interviewed #BruceJenner many times, and I'm in his corner. I support him & offer my respect.

ANDY COHEN: Mazel Tov to #BruceJenner - very very brave!!!

ELTON JOHN It's an incredibly brave thing to do, especially when you're older. I admire him for doing it and I support him 100 percent.

DR PHIL McGRAW I am so happy for him. This is his body and his life, and he needs to do what he wants to do. It drains your spirit if you can't be yourself. He is freeing himself. 

LENA DUNHAM: I think it's an incredibly powerful and brave move to disclose anything about your gender identity or sexuality in such a judgmental society. The interview is going to mean a lot to a lot of young people. 

PATRICIA ARQUETTE: You have to be so brave to live this truth of who you are. And if Mrs. Jenner is transitioning, I give all my support to her and love and appreciate everything she’s given to America. She’s fighting a fight for a lot of kids that are being kicked out of their own homes. Society turns their back on these kids and it’s really brutal.

BOY GEORGE: I absolutely applaud what [Jenner’s] doing and I think it’s very brave. And it actually makes me quite emotional. [Jenner] has my 150 percent support in every way. I think that the whole transgender thing is the new frontier. 

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: This is going to be a little bit of a game changer for people, and dealing with family and how people feel and having those conversations, this is going to be much bigger than ABC or Diane (Sawyer),

JEFFREY TAMBOR: Any movement toward authenticity is an important movement and everyone can relate to it.

DONALD TRUMP: It's very sad because he doesn't seem very happy, and maybe whatever he’s going to be doing will make him happy. If he's happy, I'm happy.  

KIRSTIE ALLEY: Trying to find a place for myself midst a world that has mistaken bravery for insanity...Mandela was brave...the rest of this sh*t is absurd

WENDY WILLIAMS: I feel duped by Bruce… I don’t feel duped because he’s turning into a woman. I feel duped because he’s the same fame whore as the rest of the family. Bruce has bigger fish to fry than turning into Belinda. He should have thought about [transitioning] before he had all the kids… Belinda, shame on you!

KRIS HUMPHRIES: Man, I'm glad I got out when I did. #Gottadoyou

'[It was] my mom's closet, maybe even my sister's,' he said. 'I put it on and then I marked the closet so that when I put it back I could put it all back in the exact same spot so I wouldn't get caught.

'And at that time I didn't know why I was doing it, besides it just made me feel good.'

Speaking about the future, he said he hadn't decided yet if he would undergo full gender transition surgery, but that he did intend changing his gender on his drivers licence.

While he didn't reveal his new name, he joked it wouldn't start with a 'K'.

'I’m actually really excited about the future... about what I could do to be able to do some real good in the world, so I’m actually, for the first time in my life, looking forward to the future,' he said.

'I’m going to learn a lot in the next year,' he added. '2015 is going to be quite a ride.'
