Khloe Kardashian Shines In Sequinned Purple Gown At Duftstars Awards 2025
Last Updated: Khloe Kardashian made heads turn at the Duftstars 2025 Awards, where she received the Personality Award for Global Innovation. American reality television star and savvy entrepreneur Khloe Kardashian made a jaw-dropping appearance at the Duftstars 2025 Awards, where she was honoured with the Personality Award for Global Innovation. Known for her head-turning fashion sense and dynamic business ventures, Khloé didn't disappoint – her radiant look became one of the night's most talked-about highlights. Sharing her excitement with fans, Khloe Kardashian posted stunning photos from the evening on her Instagram and expressed her gratitude in the caption, 'Duftstars thank you! What an incredible honor!! I am still floating! XO Khloé." For the glamorous event, Khloe chose a bold and brilliant purple ensemble that captured the spotlight from every angle. The ankle-length dress was adorned with shimmering purple sequins, creating a textured, eye-catching effect. The fitted silhouette hugged her figure in all the right places, accentuating her curves from the bodice through the hips before falling into a sleek, straight-cut finish below the waist. She elevated the sparkling outfit with silver pointed-toe stilettos featuring delicate ankle straps, adding just the right amount of edge to the look. Her accessories included a tasteful stack of diamond-studded bracelets, elegant infinity-style rings glistening on her fingers, and classic solitaire diamond studs that added a refined touch of elegance. Khloe's hair was styled to perfection – voluminous, waves cascaded down her back, pulled into a sleek half-up, high ponytail that gave her an effortlessly chic, modern flair. When it came to makeup, Khloe stuck to her signature glam: a beautifully bronzed complexion, soft contouring, dramatic monochrome smokey eyes, and nude glossy lips that completed her red-carpet-ready aesthetic. Beyond her fashion choices, Khloe continues to make waves in the business world. She is the co-founder of Good American, a fashion-forward brand launched in 2016 alongside entrepreneur Emma Grede. Known for championing body inclusivity, the label offers sizes ranging from 00 to 24 and has grown to include not just denim, but also swimwear and a variety of women's apparel. Adding to her business, Khloe recently introduced a unique snack line named Khloud – a protein-rich popcorn brand developed in collaboration with K5 Global. The venture reflects her commitment to health-conscious, innovative products that cater to evolving consumer lifestyles. First Published: May 14, 2025, 18:12 IST
