The Hilton sisters stepped out in full glam attire for the Fashion Institute of Technology Gala to honor New York designer Dennis Basso. The hotel heiresses are good friends with the designer and paid tribute to his work by wearing his beautiful creations at the gala.

While both women were dressed to impress and fitted in equally beautiful evening gowns, we think Nicky Hilton’s pregnancy glow gave her the edge in this fashion battle.
