Kylie Jenner Bares Midriff at Premiere After Cheating Rumors

In July 2015, Kylie Jenner showcased her midriff as she attended the Los Angeles premiere of “The Gallows.” Her mother, Kris Jenner, was also present, and she looked stunning in Balmain’s black sheer stripe dress.

This marked the first public appearance of the 17-year-old reality star amid swirling rumors that her 25-year-old boyfriend, Tyga, was involved in a controversy with a transgender adult film actress named Mia Isabella.

For the premiere of the upcoming American found-footage horror film The Gallows, Kylie opted for a stylish ensemble. She wore a white coat from the KLS by Kimora Lee Simmons Fall 2015 collection, pairing it with a cropped top and black stretch knitted leggings from Azzedine Alaïa.

The monochrome ensemble was completed with sunglasses from Porche Design and black ankle-strap “Antonia” sandals from Alexander Wang.

Kris Jenner, born on November 5, 1955, gave birth to Kylie Jenner on August 10, 1997. This means Kris was 41 when she welcomed Kylie into the world. She later turned 42 in November of that same year.
