Kendall Jenner Channels Old Hollywood Glam in Sleek Look as She Hosts Family's Christmas Eve Gathering

Kendall Jenner is all glammed up for the holidays!

The model and reality star, 29, hosted the annual Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve bash at her house in a festive ensemble reflecting her chic, effortless style.

Kendall looked elegant and sleek in photos posted to her Instagram story on Dec. 25, showing the star wearing a fitted, long sleeve, white satin gown from Phoebe Philo as she posed with a glass of wine in front of an arched entryway, draped in garland. She accessorized minimally, wearing simple earrings and dark pointed-toe heels. Kendall kept her hair and makeup simple, styling her short bob in subtle curls a la Marilyn Monroe and tying it all together with a dark lip.

In a second snap shared to her story, Kendall revealed the surprise in the back of the dress — a dramatic cutout showing off the model's upper back. A draped, satin bow tied loosely in the back of the dress finished off the graceful look.

The fashion icon shared some other behind-the-scenes looks of the Kardashian-Jenner's annual Christmas affair on her story, showing the model playing cards (using an 818-branded deck, of course) with family members and bottles of the mogul's 818 Tequila decorated with red bows and surrounded by tall candles.

In a video posted to Kendall's sister Kim Kardashian's story, the SKIMS mogul can be heard asking to take one of the bottles of 818 as a parting gift.

While the model kept her look relatively simple and classic for the affair, the star has shown off her hair experiments leading up to the holidays.

After a quick stint as a blonde in September, Kendall returned to her brunette roots with a bob haircut. In November, the model was spotted rocking a brown flippy bob underneath a beige baseball cap. About two weeks later, she appeared at the FWRD & Revolve Holiday Shop at The Grove in Los Angeles with what appeared to be a slightly shorter, chin-grazing bob.

Also in November, the 818 founder celebrated her 29th birthday and was showered with sweet tributes from her famous family members. Her mom, Kris Jenner, led the wave of birthday love on Instagram with a post that featured throwback photos of Kendall as a baby, along with more recent moments of the mother-daughter duo.

"Happy birthday to my beautiful angel girl @kendalljenner!!! You are the kindest girl I know, and so funny, smart, sweet, generous and thoughtful and I thank God every day for the blessing of being your mommy," Kris, 68, began her post.

She continued: "You have the biggest heart and you make everyone around you feel loved, and listened to. You are such a special girl, so beautiful inside and out, and the most incredible daughter, sister, auntie, and friend anyone could wish for and I am amazed by you every single day."

Kris concluded the post by writing, "I am so proud of you my Kenny and I love you so very much! Mommy xo 🎂🎉🎈🤍."

At last year's KarJenner's Christmas Eve bash — a ritual that began in 1978 — Kendall opted for a black-and-white mid-length dress with a white fur-like detail across the bodice. In a video from the ski-lodged theme affair (hosted by Kim Kardashian), the model can be seen performing a lip sync to Ariana Grande's song "Santa Tell Me."

The family is known for taking their holidays very seriously, and in a recent video from Architectural Digest, Kendall showed off just how much effort she had put into decorating her house for the season — highlighting nostalgia and vintage elements as her main inspiration for the decor.

She also shared that her mom, Kris, had gifted her the family's Christopher Radko ornaments that the Kardashian-Jenner crew had grown up with, after Kendall reveals she almost had a "breakdown" to her mom after thinking that she had gifted them to another sister.

"Most of the decorations in this house... they're all from my mom," Kendall says in the video. "They're all hand-me-downs. So, pretty much all of my Christmas decorations and things in the house are things I grew up with."
