'There's a lot of duct tape under this!': Kylie Jenner takes inspiration from sister Kim in eye-catching sheer black gown for Miami candy store opening
She recently said that Kim Kardashian was one of her style icons.
And while she may be half her age, Kylie Jenner could easily have been mistaken for her 34-year-old sister on Friday, as she made a dramatic appearance at the opening of Sugar Factory in Miami.
The 17-year-old reality star arrived Hotel Victor in a plunging black gown, very much reminiscent of one of Kim's favourite looks.
Is that you, Kim? Kylie Jenner arrived at the opening of the Sugar Factory candy store in Miami in dramatic black gown very similar to her older sister Kim Kardashian
Kylie's eye-catching dress included sheer sleeves and a long wrap-skirt with thigh-high split, flashing a glimpse of a black mini underneath.
The gown also featured a ribbed satin trim at the waist, neckline and cuffs, as well as one pocket of the skirt for added texture.
The youngest Jenner girl sampled the treats and posed with a hot pink lollipop (the Kylie & Kendall Black Diamond Couture Pop) - which was a perfect opportunity to show-off her manicured powder pink talons.

Kylie's dark tresses were styled glossy and straight in a centre-parting and she sported coffee-coloured lipstick on her pout.
Completing the ultra-glamorous look was a pair of simple black ankle-strap stiletto heels.
Fortunately for the TV personality, there was little risk of a wardrobe malfunction as she explained on social media during the evening.

'We will just talk and collaborate. We will throw ideas around and talk about the stuff that we like. So it’s really cool. Some people just follow me because I post a lot of outfits and shoes and jewelry.'
