Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian pay tribute to late fashion icon Thierry Mugler

Kourtney Kardashian and her sister Khloe have paid tribute to late fashion designer Thierry Mugler.

The French star, known for his cinch-waisted silhouettes, passed away on Sunday, aged 73.

Together with a blank black image, a caption announcing the designer's death on Instagram read: "#RIP We are devastated to announce the passing of Mr Manfred Thierry Mugler on Sunday January 23rd 2022.

"May his soul Rest In Peace."

Thierry was known for dressing Hollywood's A-listers and the Kar-Jenners were no exception.

Kourtney took to Instagram sharing a shot of her sisters Kim, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie and momager Kris Jenner all sporting the star's designs.

The family look stunning wearing a mixture of Thierry's black and white designs - known for their elegant yet theatrical style.

Thierry made his name in the fashion industry throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, with his alluring designs capturing the attention of the showbiz elite.

After a break from fashion he came out of retirement to recreate Kim Kardashian's Met Gala look in 2019.

Fans were sent into a frenzy when Kim rocked up in a skin-tight corseted dress with beaded crystals, which hung off her as if they were drops of water.

The pint-sized star attended the event with her now estranged husband Kanye and told US Vogue at the time: "This is the first time in 20 years Mr. Mugler has designed for the House of Mugler.

"So to come and design this gown for me is such an honour. This is about eight months in the making. He envisioned me this California girl stepping out of the ocean, wet, dripping.”

Throughout his star-studded career, Thierry dressed a wide range of stars including Lady Gaga, George Michael, David Bowie, Beyo nce, Katy Perry, Rihanna and many more.

He also launched a super successful range of best-selling perfumes, notably Angel.

A whole host of stars have paid tribute to the fashion icon, including model Georgia May Jagger, who wrote: "I cannot believe this is true sending love to you all. Thierry was a force of creativity and kindness."

Kris Jenner was among the nearly 40,000 people who had "liked" the post within the first hour of it being published.
