Taking style tips from Kanye? Kylie Jenner dons West inspired leather dress for night out with Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia
By ALANNA LYNOTT and AMELIA PROUD
The influence of Kanye 'I'm a fashion guru' West is becoming all pervasive amongst the Kardashian clan.
Especially when it comes to the 36-year-old musical legend's love of all things leather.
Almost all the family members - excluded slack loving dad Bruce - have been spotted in shiny items; and now Kylie Jenner, 16, has taken the leathery look to the next level.
Suited and booted: Kylie Jenner slipped into a leather dress and matching boots to attend a friend's birthday party in LA on Wednesday with a more casual looking Sofia Richie
The material is big news this autumn; once the preserve of Hell's Angels, women of the night and ageing rockers, leather is now the fashionista's choice of fabric.
The most hip way to wear it, especially if you're as young as Kylie is baggy just like the frock she donned for a friend's party in L.A.
Kylie paired the dress with chunky flat boots - which again, is just the way to wear this season's cowhide.

Have fun parking that: Kylie's truck was to ferry both her and Lionel's youngest to the party
She looked rather at odds with her friend Sofia Richie, singing star Lionel's 15-year-old daughter, however, who was wearing a more convention combination of leggings and sweater; thought her leopard print pumps are also a season staple.
But then what would you expect from the little sister of designer Nicole Richie?
The pair were picking up roses and balloons for the lucky friend's birthday at a local Ralph's.
Kylie looked older than her years as she visited the Topanga Mall in Los Angeles for a spot of shopping, while her 57-year-old mother Kris Jenner hit Disneyland with friends.

The raven-haired reality star wore a Gothic-inspired outfit of black leather shorts, matching tank top and leather boots, topped off with a fringed bag and dark sunglasses.
Chewing gum, Kylie completed her look with a silver cross necklace and several bangles and rings.
Pulling up in her trendy white Mercedes-Benz G Wagon, which was a gift for her sixteenth birthday, the lucky young lady gave her keys to the waiting valet and heading into the mall to give her wallet a workout.

Meanwhile, her mother and manager Kris was acting her daughter's age as she happily shared snaps of herself and friends at Disneyland, California.
Posting a picture of herself posing with cartoon character Goofy, she wrote excitedly: 'Ummmm kind of a GOOFY way to start my day!!! Look who cooked me breakfast!'
More casually dressed than Kylie, Kris wore a denim shirt over a white T-shirt and carried a small cobalt blue purse over one shoulder.

The Kardashian and Jenner families are currently filming the latest season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, while maintaining a high profile and dealing with family dramas.
It was recently revealed that Kylie and her 17-year-old model sister Kendall earned $100,000 last year for lending their name to a range of OPI nail varnishes, and the pair have also designed their own clothing collection for fashion label Pacsun.

'Momanger' Kris oversees the clan and has recently been dealing with the fallout from accusations that daughter Khloe's husband Lamar Odom has been unfaithful and using drugs - allegedly encouraging her to divorce the basketball player.
'At Kris’ insistence, Khloe did meet with a divorce lawyer... it was something she was forced into doing by her mom,' a source told RadarOnline.com. 'Kris was very heavy-handed and said Khloe had a responsibility to her sisters, Kim and Kourtney, and the Kardashian brand to distance herself from Lamar,' they added.
'It’s all about the bottom line with Kris, and Khloe couldn't care less about that. She is still holding out hope that her marriage to Lamar can be saved.'
