What a way to shut down the red carpet! The Jenner sisters arrived at the ESPY Awards to support Caitlyn and of course the youngest members of the clan looked nothing short of flawless.
Check out Kendall's LBD (in this case we mean long black dress!). The mesh detailing on the gown flattered her slim figure (not that she needed any help in that department!) and we love that she kept it simple and paired it with some barely there heels by Stuart Weitzman. The long sleeves and high neck style might look demure, but Kendall isn't shy when it comes to the sheer trend!
Her dress hails from Alexander Vauthier's Spring 2015 Couture collection. Big sister Kim Kardashian also chose the designer label on the night, and fellow A-list fans include Cara Delevingne and Rita Ora.
Kendall's exact dress isn't available to buy online, but this very similar Alexandre Vauthier dress at Luisa Via Roma (click right) will totally do the trick.

The former Olympian - who was known as Bruce Jenner before her transition - came out to the world during an interview with Diane Sawyer in April and later unveiled her new identity with a Vanity Fair cover in June.

When Caitlyn was first unveiled in June on the cover of Vanity Fair Kendall led the outpouring of love, simply telling her dad 'be free now pretty bird.'

And on Father's Day, she wrote a heartfelt message: 'My whole life this soul was my daddy and just because your appearance is different now doesn't mean you were any less of a father to me my entire life.

'Happy Father's Day to the person who raised me, and taught me everything I know, my hero.'

But prior to her public gender transition, Caitlyn visited a therapist on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians to talk about her relationship with youngest child Kylie.

However, Jenner - when she was still known as Bruce - revealed in April that Khloe took news of her gender transition the hardest.

But since Caitlyn's interview with Diane Sawyer in April, Khloe has been nothing but overwhelmingly supportive of her parent.

When Caitlyn's Vanity Fair cover was unveiled in June, Khloe shared the image with the note: 'We were given this life because you were strong enough to live it! I couldn't be prouder!!! Caitlyn, You are beautiful!!!'

Meanwhile, Kim told Access Hollywood Live that her younger brother Rob was bewildered when she sent a mass text of Caitlyn Jenner on the magazine's cover.

Rob didn't recognize a trace of the father figure who raised him and responded: 'Kim, why are you sending me this? Who is this woman and why do I care?'

'And I was like, Rob, that's Bruce - that's Caitlyn. And he was like, "Oh my god, she's beautiful''', Kim added.

Kim said that Rob called Caitlyn and the pair 'had a love fest' over the phone.

The former Olympian joins recent recipients like Michael Sam, the first openly gay NFL player, and sportscaster Robin Roberts, who survived breast cancer and the blood disease myelodysplastic syndrome.

In its statement announcing Jenner's award, an ESPN boss said he hoped honouring Jenner would 'give comfort' to other transgender people struggling with their identity.'

Executive producer Maura Mandt said upon announcing the honour: 'Bruce [Jenner] has received many accolades over the years for being one of the greatest Olympians of our time, but The ESPYS are honored to celebrate Bruce becoming Caitlyn.'

'She has shown the courage to embrace a truth that had been hidden for years, and to embark on a journey that may not only give comfort to those facing similar circumstances, but can also help to educate people on the challenges that the transgender community faces.'

Jenner herself was also quoted in the statement. She said: 'In the past few months, the overwhelming outpouring of support from all over the world for my journey has been incredible'.

'However, being honored with this award, which is named after one of my heroes, is truly special. For the first time this July, I will be able to stand as my true self in front of my peers.'

ESPN has given its Arthur Ashe Courage Award, named after a tennis player who died of AIDS-related pneumonia, to figures ranging from professional sportsmen to relative unknowns - and even a world leader.

Meanwhile, Caitlyn tearfully thanked her family while accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award on Wednesday at the ESPYs in Los Angeles.

The 65-year-old honoree received a standing ovation as she made her first major public appearance at the awards show since announcing her transitioning to a woman during an April tell-all interview with Diane Sawyer.

Caitlyn got tearful toward the end of her acceptance speech as she thanked her family, including mother, sister and nine adult children in the audience.

'Thank you so much it I so wonderful to be here tonight. The last few months have been a whirlwind of so many different experiences and emotions. To tell you the truth, it seems every time I turn around in life, I'm putting myself in these high-pressured situations. Competing in the Games, raising a family. But I've never felt more pressured than I ever have in my life, than the last couple of months. Picking out this outfit — OK, girls, I get it! You've got to get the shoes, the hair the makeup, the whole process. It was exhausting. And next, the fashion police — please be kind on me, I'm new at this.

'Anyway, I just want to say a quick shout out to our soccer team. Ladies, you clean up very well.

'But the real truth is, before a few months ago I had never met anybody else who was trans, who was like me. I had never met a trans person, never. Now, as you saw, I dealt with my situation on my own in private and that turned this journey into an already incredible education.

'It's been eye-opening, inspiring, but also frightening. All across this country, right now, all across the world, at this very moment, there are young people coming to terms with being transgender. They're learning that they are different and they are trying to figure out how to handle that, on top of every other problem that a teenager has.

'They're getting bullied, they're getting beaten up, they're getting murdered and they're committing suicide. The numbers that you just heard before are staggering, but they are the reality of what it is like to be trans today.

'Just last month, the body of 17-year-old Mercedes Williamson, a transgender young woman of color, was found in a field in Mississippi stabbed to death. I also want to tell you about Sam Taub, a 15-year-old transgender young man from Bloomfield, Michigan. In early April, Sam took his own life. Now, Sam's story haunts me in particular because his death was a few days before my interview with Diane Sawyer. Every time something like this happens, people wonder, ''Could it have been different, if spotlighting this issue with more attention could have changed the way things happen?'' We'll never know.

'If there is one thing I do know about my life, it is the power of the spotlight. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, but with attention comes responsibility. As a group, as athletes, how you conduct your lives, what you say, what you do, is absorbed and observed by millions of people, especially young people. I know I'm clear with my responsibility going forward, to tell my story the right way — for me, to keep learning, to reshape the landscape of how trans issues are viewed, how trans people are treated. And then more prominently to promote a very simple idea: accepting people for who they are. Accepting people's differences.

'My plea to you tonight is to join me in making these issues your issues as well. How do we start? We start with education. I was fortunate to meet Arthur Ashe a few times and I know how important education was to him. Learn as much as you can about another person to understand them better.

'I know the people in this room have respect for hard work, for training, for going through something difficult to achieve the outcome that you desire. I trained hard, I competed hard, and for that, people respected me.

'But this transition has been harder on me than anything I could imagine. And that's the case for so many others besides me. For that reason alone, trans people deserve something vital. They deserve your respect. And from that respect comes a more compassionate community, a more empathetic society, and a better world for all of us.

'There have been so many people that have traveled this road before me. From, in sports, Renée Richards to Chaz Bono, to Laverne Cox, and many others. Janet Mock is here tonight. And I want to thank them all publicly, and the ESPYs, and the late Arthur Ashe, for giving me this platform to start the next phase of my journey. I also want to acknowledge all the young trans athletes who are out there — given the chance to play sports as who they really are.

'And now, as of this week, it appears trans people will soon be serving in the military. That's a great idea. We have come along way. But we have a lot of work to do.

'I'd like to thank personally, my buddy Diane Sawyer. You know, you can only tell your story the first time once and Diane you did it so authentically and so gracefully. And me and the community are so thankful for that. Thank you so much Diane, I'm so proud to have you as a friend.

'Here comes the tough part. I'd like to thank my family. The biggest fear in Caitlyn Jenner coming out was I never wanted to hurt anyone else, most of all my family and my kids. I always wanted my family to be so proud of their dad because of what he has accomplished in his life. You guys have given so much back to me, you've given me so much support, I'm so, so grateful to have all of you in my life. Thank you.

'And certainly last, but not least, my mother. My mom who, just a little over a week ago, had to have surgery and I didn't think she was going to make it, but she is here with me tonight to share this night. Now, you know I always thought that I got my courage and my determination from my dad. He landed on Omaha Beach and fought all the way through World War II. But you know what I'm thinking now, Mom, is that I got all these qualities from you. I love you very much. I'm so glad you're here to share this with me.

'You know, it is an honor to have the word courage associated with my life. But tonight another word comes to mind and that is fortunate. I owe a lot to sports. It has shown me the world, it has given me an identity. If someone wanted to bully me, well, you know what? I was the MVP of the football team. That wasn't going to be a problem. And the same thing goes tonight. If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is I can take it. But for the thousands of kids out there who are coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it.

'So for the people out there wondering what all this is about — whether it's about courage or controversy or publicity — well, I'll tell you what it's all about. It's about what happens from here. It's not just about one person, it's about thousands of people. It's not just about me, it's about all of us accepting one another. We are all different. That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing and while it may not be easy to get past the things you do not understand, I want to prove that it is absolutely possible if we only do it together.

'Thanks you so much for this. Thanks you so much for this honor bestowed on myself and on my family.'
