2015 was a huge year for Caitlyn Jenner, the father of Kylie, Kendall, Brody, Cassandra Marino, Brandon, and Burt Jenner. In front of the cameras, she transitioned from Bruce to Caitlyn, won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, and was named Glamour’s Woman of the Year.

It didn’t stop there. Caitlyn has used her fame to create awareness for the transgender community, even documenting her gender transition through her reality show, “I Am Cait,” an eight-part one-hour documentary series.

In December, Cait added the title of Most Fascinating Person of 2015 to her long list of accolades.

The former Olympian beat Donald Trump, Amy Schumer, and Bradley Cooper for the coveted spot on Barbara Walters’ list.
The 66-year-old said she was honored to receive the title. “Our choice for the most fascinating person of the year was once called the world’s greatest athlete,” Barbara Walters said in her announcement.
“Traditionally, that title was given to the man who won the Olympic decathlon. When Bruce Jenner won it in 1976, it was a huge accomplishment. It had everybody talking. But it was nothing like this. When Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner, there was a seismic shift in the gender universe.”

How Kylie and Kendall Jenner Address Caitlyn After Her Transition
While appearing on the American reality television series I’m a Celebrity in 2019, Caitlyn confirmed that her daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, still call her ‘dad’ after her transition.
“Primarily, Bruce raised them,” Caitlyn explained about his relationship with his daughters, “And Caitlyn is enjoying her life with them.”
Caitlyn recalled her answer when Kendall asked if she could continue calling her dad: “I’m your dad, and I’ll always be your dad ’til the day I die.”
Despite her many accomplishments (including a nomination for Time’s Person of the Year 2015), the Kardashian-Jenner patriarch kept it cool upon arriving at LAX days after receiving the No. 1 spot on Barbara’s list.

“For years and years, I never felt like I fit it anywhere. I always felt as an outsider,” Caitlyn said one month earlier when accepting Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards. “I never felt good in the male side, and I wasn’t, obviously, in the female side. I was kind of stuck in the middle.”
She wore jeans, a lace-up black top under a beige leather jacket, and black, kitten heel sandals.

Although we couldn’t find Caitlyn’s exact sandals, the Valentino ‘Rockstud’ kitten heel pumps are a stylish alternative:
