Put on your pearls girls in an embellished dress like Kim's
She might not have walked the red carpet at the ESPY Awards, but that didn't stop Kim Kardashian stealing the show from the crowd!
The pregnant reality star shunned her usual sheer styles and instead showed off her penchant for pearls in this black asymmetric gown. When teamed with swept-up hair, it's a very elegant look and we have to say we love it.
It's by Alexandre Vauthier, the designer label that Kendall also chose to wear on Caitlyn's big night. Featuring the pearl embellished detailing that was a running theme throughout the Fall 2014 Couture collection (check out the similar dress pictured, right), it's a subtle but sophisticated touch. Plus, there's no need to accessorize with any jewelry - talk about getting two for the price of one!

Support: 'To think of someone not being able to be free for 65 years is heart-breaking,' Kendall continued, 'and to finally be free must be the greatest thing in the world.'
Their oldest sisters, 34-year-old Kim and 36-year-old Kourtney seemed to be a little more composed as they sat just in front of them.
During her speech, Caitlyn said the transition had been 'harder on me than anything I could imagine'.
But now that she had gone through it and come out the other side, she realised that 'with attention comes responsibility'.

And she added to the applauding crowd: 'You should join me in making this an issue for you too.'
