Cunningham took to her Instagram story and posted herself getting set to attend a Las Vegas-themed party.

Her outfit included a Cowboy hat, a black jacket over a black semi-transparent blouse, combined with jean shorts and black boots.

Sophie Cunningham was headed to the Las Vegas Convention Center for the Cowboy Christmas, which runs from December 5 – 14, 2024.
