Kendall and Kylie Jenner sparkled on the red carpet at the 2015 ESPY Awards on Wednesday night, but the evening was not about them.
The Jenner sisters attended the award show to support and celebrate their parent Caitlyn Jenner, who is set to receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, which is given to those "possessing strength in the face of adversity, courage in the face of peril and the willingness to stand up for their beliefs no matter what the cost."
The 65-year-old former Olympian opted not to walk the red carpet, as a rep for the star explained to Gossip Cop, "It’s not about the press coverage. It’s an award for courage.”
Also in attendance and showing their support for Jenner, were stepdaughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who made the very uncharacteristic decision not to walk the red carpet, either. However, Kim's hairstylist, Chris McMillan shared a sneak peek photo of the reality star's look for the evening on Instagram.
Jenner's sons Burt, Brandon, Brody and daughter Casey from her previous marriages also showed up in celebration of Jenner's award:
It was truly a family affair, as Jenner's 88-year-old mother Esther sat next to the star before she accepted her award.
The former athlete first came out as transgender in an interview with Diane Sawyer in April and formally introduced herself as Caitlyn to the world this past June with with a 22-page Vanity Fair cover story. Since that glamorous and inspiration introduction, Jenner has started her foray into advocacy work in the transgender community.
