Khloé Kardashian turned heads at the 2016 Gabrielle’s Angel Ball in one of her most dazzling looks. Attending the charity gala alongside her sister Kourtney, Khloé embraced her signature sparkle in a show-stopping embellished gown.
Kim Kardashian had been expected to make her first public appearance since the Paris robbery, but canceled due to Kanye West’s health concerns at the time.

Khloé gave major credit to her longtime stylist, Monica Rose, for sourcing this dazzling Yousef Aljasmi gown. While sheer dresses can sometimes feel overexposed, this look maintained a sense of elegance thanks to the thoughtfully placed embellishments, which offered coverage without compromising the sultry silhouette.
Khloé finished her look with dazzling Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a pair of DSquared2 “RiRi” sandals — high-fashion heels celebrated for their sleek, rebellious aesthetic. Named after Rihanna, who famously wore them, these statement shoes have become an icon in celebrity style circles.

Sister Style: Kourtney Kardashian in Balmain Resort 2017
While Kim decided to skip the event, Khloé and Kourtney more than made up for it by showing off their famous Kardashian curves at the 2016 Angel Ball. Khloé towered over her sister in a sheer, embellished gown, while Kourtney opted for a chic black ruffled dress.

Kourtney’s Balmain Resort 2017 gown was not as revealing but equally eye-catching as Khloé’s.

The black floor-length piece featured frilly layers of ruffled fabric on its skirt and thigh cutout details. The cutouts are unusual for such a fancy red carpet affair and weren’t too flattering on Kourtney either.

We love the dress’s embellishments on sheer fabric placed strategically to cover the bodice. There’s a lot of skin showing on the skirt, but the lines don’t make it as distracting.

Kris Jenner Honors Robert Kardashian in Zuhair Murad
The entire Kardashian/Jenner family made the event a family affair to honor Robert Kardashian. Kris Jenner, accompanied by her boyfriend, attended with daughters Khloé and Kourtney.

During her touching speech, Kris emphasized Robert’s teachings on the essence of giving – a principle he passionately believed in and imparted to his children.
“One of the things [Robert] used to teach me and passed down to our children was about philanthropy and about giving and about doing it diligently, constantly, joyfully and generously… He taught me and them that no matter what you do in life… you give back and you do it without saying a word.”
The Kardashian sisters were booed by furious protesters outside the ball for their use of fur. Luckily, they did not retaliate or wear fur when the hostility occurred.
