Kendall Jenner, who turns 17 today, made an appearance with mom Kris Jenner at the “Nomad Two Worlds” by Russell James book launch all the way in Sydney, Australia. The book is available for sale at Amazon.

Can someone please tell me what Kendall Jenner is doing at a book launch? As far as I can see, this is another one of Kris Jenner’s ways to prep Kendall as Kim Kardashian version 2.0. (Edit: Okay, nevermind, just found out Russell James is a celebrity photographer whose body of work also includes images of Kim Kardashian).

Anyway, with her great genes, a modelesque figure and youth on her side, Kendall Jenner looked smashing in a shiny yellow bandage dress at the event:

I also appreciate how Kendall chose to wear somewhat different shoes with her bandage dress when the default seems to be black or nude stiletto pumps.

Check out her stunning shoes up close:

Kendall Jenner’s book launch shoes are these Yves Saint Laurent ‘Obsession’ slingback pumps in black satin.

I’m not partial to square toes but I can get behind these YSLs.

These also come in colorblocked suede and satin. There is a black/blush/red/yellow and a silver/blush/pink/red both $790.77 at Farfetch.

For a look-for-less, he’s a great alternative sitting around at Nasty Gal:

Not exactly the same colors but it’s only $58!

Happy birthday, Kendall Jenner!
