Look sleek and chic in a Hervé Léger bandage skirt

Caitlyn Jenner is proving to have as fabulous a wardrobe as the other ladies in her family.

From Frame Denim dresses to Banana Republic skirts to sophisticated wrap dresses and last night some seriously sultry Hervé Léger. What a great choice. This iconic designer is a favorite of starlets the world over thanks to the figure fixing effects of the signature bandage fabric.

It clings in all the right places, creating curves while simultaneously flattening tummies. What's not to love? And while bandage dresses became a bit synonymous with TOWIE and the like, the original Hervé Léger designs are still classics that won't fail you on a night out.

Caitlyn opted for a slinky bandage skirt styled with a matching long sleeved zip up jacket and this block color is ideal for lengthening and slimming. Not that Caitlyn needs help in that area.

And stealing her style couldn't be easier. Click (right) to buy the skirt at Net-a-Porter and you'll find the jacket at Neiman Marcus below. Work them like Caitlyn with simple black heels to complete the look.

Miss Jenner, 65, announced that she had assumed her new identity on the cover of the July edition of Vanity Fair, which featured the headline: 'Call me Caitlyn'.

Previously, she had been Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic men's decathlon champion and a reality TV star on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

Her transition has been broadly seen as a watershed moment in how transgender people are viewed by the public.

But speaking at FreedomFest, a libertarian conference in Las Vegas, Beck said: 'I don't want to be Bruce Jenner. I cannot imagine what his life is like.'

'I feel bad for Bruce Jenner...because people are going to say nasty things about him, because he is a dude. I'm not going to judge him...but don't tell me I have to start calling him a woman'.

He also refused to call the star a woman - and repeatedly referred to her as 'Bruce'

The radio host and commentator added that although he is against gay marriage, he does not mind if people are gay or straight. 'Bruce Jenner is no harm off my nose. It doesn't hurt me,' he said. 

In the Vanity Fair interview, Miss Jenner spoke about how even her family, which includes reality TV star Kim Kardashian, accepted her new identity straight away.

Shortly after the magazine came out, Miss Jenner's daughter, Kylie, posted a picture of the cover on her Instagram page, calling her mother 'an angel on earth!'.

On Twitter, #callmecaitlyn started trending - with celebrities such as Demi Moore, Lady Gaga and Lena Dunham all tweeting messages of support.

President Obama wrote: 'It takes courage to share your story', while Maria Shriver tweeted: The women's empowerment space got a brave new voice in @Caitlyn_Jenner'.

Beck, a former Fox News commentator, is a bete noir of the left and is outspoken in his attacks on progressives through The Blaze, his radio show.

However, in some cases, he has gone too far - like when he claimed that President Obama is a racist against white people.

He has also said that the only victims during Hurricane Katrina were 'scumbags' and joked about killing left-wing film maker Michael Moore.

During his talk at FreedomFest, Beck said that he hated former President Woodrow Wilson, who was the architect of the post-WWII New Deal.

Beck summed up his feelings with a line from The Untouchables, spoken by Al Capone about Eliot Ness, the Prohibition agent who eventually put him in jail for tax evasion.

'I want him dead! I want his family dead! I want his house burned to the ground! I wanna go there in the middle of the night and I wanna p*** on his ashes!' he said, quoting Capone.
