After walking the runway at the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in NYC, Kendall Jenner flew to Las Vegas the next day to accept her Icon of the Year trophy at the 2nd Annual Revolve Awards.
The then-23-year-old model no doubt leads a charmed life, but she showed that she’s also just human when she bared her feet and got visibly sweaty in a pair of Yeezy PVC pumps.

Kendall’s fogged-up footwear nearly brought down her cute $158 LPA Aurora dress, which has a flirty feather trim along the strapless neckline.
The LBD is sold out, but you can still buy the LPA ‘626’ gown ($228 at Revolve) or the LPA ‘Aida’ top ($138 at Revolve) versions of the dress.
