Caitlyn Jenner is set to jet into Dublin tonight, to attend the Xposé Benefit Awards in the city centre.
The transgender star, who is the father of Kendall and Kylie Jenner, will make a surprise appearance on the pink carpet at the Mansion House tonight.
The news comes just hours after Caitlyn, who was formerly known as Bruce Jenner, was spotted catching a flight at LAX.
A source told Goss.ie, “Event organisers had been trying to keep it under wraps, but Caitlyn will be on the pink carpet tonight as Benefit’s special guest.”
“As a member of the Kardashian/Jenner, she’s a huge name and such an inspiration, so it was such a big deal to get her over from the US,” the source added.
TV3 have since announced that Caitlyn will be presented with a special Beauty Hero award on the night.
The inaugural Xposé Benefit Awards will take place in The Mansion House to celebrate the best in fashion and entertainment in Ireland.
Commenting on the awards, Debbie O’Donnell, Executive Producer of Xposé said, “We’re thrilled to welcome global wavemaker Caitlyn Jenner tonight, to Ireland, and to the Xpose Benefit Awards.
“Tonight we recognise the best in beauty and entertainment, but also those who are making waves in Irish society, and what better way to conclude the evening than hearing from our very special guest, Caitlyn Jenner.”
Lou Bennett, Head of Marketing for Benefit Cosmetics, said, “We’re tickled pink at Benefit to have teamed up with Xpose for the hugely successful inaugural year of the XposeBenefit awards.
“The nominees represent the best in the business, from the globally famous, to the unsung heros, who, combined paint a very bright picture of the beauty and entertainment industry in Ireland today. In true Benefit style, we came to disrupt, delight, empower and entertain, and in Xpose we found the most perfect partner to do this with.”
The awards show will air in a 60minute dedicated primetime slot at 8pm, Tuesday 6th, on TV3.
