Wearing a plunging blue Michael Costello gown with a thigh-high slit, she paired the fluid silhouette with crystal-embellished Sergio Rossi “Puzzle” cage sandals, which added sparkle and structure beneath the sweeping dress.

Joined by Kris Jenner and Kylie Jenner, who both wore white, Khloé stood out in saturated blue satin and metallic accessories that photographed dramatically against the neutral looks beside her.

The Michael Costello “Kim” gown combined a deep plunging neckline with a fluid satin finish, a tied waist, and a dramatic slit that revealed Khloé’s strappy evening sandals as she walked.

Her Sergio Rossi heels balanced the softness of the dress with geometric cage detailing and crystal embellishments, creating a sharper, more architectural contrast beneath the flowing skirt.
Khloé finished the look with softly curled blonde hair and cool-toned makeup that echoed the outfit’s icy blue palette.
Crafted with the brand’s signature laser-cut geometric straps, the architectural silhouette wrapped around the foot like interlocking puzzle pieces, creating a sculptural “second skin” effect that balanced structure with delicacy.

Covered in shimmering strass crystal embellishments, the intricate cage design cast subtle light and shadow across the skin while the open toes, double-buckled ankle straps, and approximately 4.25-inch stiletto heels reinforced the sandal’s dramatic red carpet appeal.
The sparkling heels added texture and dimension beneath Khloé’s fluid satin Michael Costello gown without overwhelming the sleek silhouette.
