When Kylie Jenner sashayed down the runway at Monday night’s STYLE360 Abbey Dawn fashion show, more than a few familiar faces dotted the front row: show spectators included sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, brother Brody Jenner and bro-in-law Kris Humphries.

The perfect synergy of talent and good looks (Abbey Dawn is designed by Brody’s flame Avril Lavigne, after all) resulted in what Kylie dubbed “a family affair.”

“I loved having my family there,” Kylie gushed to PEOPLE after the show. “They made me so much more comfortable!” Aside from taking candids and offering up a congratulatory bouquet, family members also took to the Internet to express their admiration. “She was so fab,” big sis Kim Tweeted, with Brody sweetly concurring: “She looked beautiful and was such a natural. Proud to be her brother.”

Fully embracing the Abbey Dawn aesthetic, which includes slogan tees, studded accessories and party frocks, the 14-year-old even confessed to stealing one element straight off the runway. “I’m obsessed with it,” she told PEOPLE of her newly dip-dyed strands. “I did “Rihanna red” over Spring Break, but I was just like, ‘This isn’t me!’”

But does the novice model she have a future in the industry? “She did a really good job,” Lavigne admiringly told PEOPLE after the show. “I love her edge.”

I can’t believe some of the comments on this thread. This is a 14 year old girl. She is beautiful. Yes, she has a famous family and yes, that might be why she has this opportunity, but that is not a reason to say she is not pretty enough. It took guts to walk down that runway.
We wonder why people have such high expectations of women? This thread tells us why.

WOW! LOTS OF HATERS!! Kylie looks fab, fit, young and with lots of edge, exactly why Avril L. would want her on the runway. That fact is, she is JENNER! She is cute, moody, curvy, TALL, dark and without a doubt edgy. The best of Bruce Jenner and whatever Kris’s maiden name is!! I think Kylie rocked the runway! Both those Jenner girls will definitely be ones to look out for. Maybe 10 percent for Bruce this time?????
