You don't need much help being the centre of attention on your birthday, but Khloe Kardashian sparkled even brighter than most as she turned 36 thanks to one regional designer.
The reality TV star plucked a dress from the collection of Kuwaiti couturier Yousef Al Jasmi to mark her big day, as she celebrated with friends and family.
The mother-of-one wore a gold-hued, crystal-adorned mini dress by the eponymous label for the occasion, with her birthday falling on Saturday, June 27.
"Birthday glam," Kardashian captioned a series of selfies from her birthday party, in which she's wearing the glimmering dress.
The TV star also addressed her new darker locks in the post, which was published on Monday, June 29.
"I’m loving my brown hair. I never thought I would say that ... blonde still owns my heart but this brown is giving me a little something right now," she wrote.
Kardashian also shared some party pictures on Tuesday, June 30, giving an inside look at the A-list bash.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star celebrated her big day with brother Rob, sister Kendall, mother Kris and daughter True at the pink-adorned party.
After the TV regular tagged Al Jasmi in her posts, the designer responded by saying Kardashian looked "glowing".
"You always rock my creations," he posted on Instagram.
Al Jasmi's label has dressed many of the world's most recognisable names, from Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears to Beyonce and Taylor Swift
He has also become something of a regular with the Kardashian-Jenner family, having dressed Kendall and Kylie in the past, including this look:
Al Jasmi, who established his brand in 2007, has grabbed headlines in recent years for his crystal-encrusted gowns, and also previously dressed Kris Jenner for her 60th birthday in 2015.

Top financial tips for graduates
Araminta Robertson, of the Financially Mint blog, shares her financial advice for university leavers:
1. Build digital or technical skills: After graduation, people can find it extremely hard to find jobs. From programming to digital marketing, your early twenties are for building skills. Future employers will want people with tech skills.
2. Side hustle: At 16, I lived in a village and started teaching online, as well as doing work as a virtual assistant and marketer. There are six skills you can use online: translation; teaching; programming; digital marketing; design and writing. If you master two, you’ll always be able to make money.
3. Networking: Knowing how to make connections is extremely useful. Use LinkedIn to find people who have the job you want, connect and ask to meet for coffee. Ask how they did it and if they know anyone who can help you. I secured quite a few clients this way.
4. Pay yourself first: The minute you receive any income, put about 15 per cent aside into a savings account you won’t touch, to go towards your emergency fund or to start investing. I do 20 per cent. It helped me start saving immediately.
