Kylie Jenner Has Undergone a Complete Style Transformation
Kylie Jenner is a woman of superlatives, or at least of notable firsts: She’s the youngest Kardashian; she’s allegedly a self-made billionaire; she’s the sister who has undergone the most radical style transformation. Not bad for a Gen Z-er with four accomplished older sisters and an Olympian for a mother. She was born into a reality-television dynasty, and as a result, she grew up in the spotlight, accompanying her parents on the red carpet and frequently twinning with Kendall Jenner, the sister just two years her elder. But over time, Kylie’s cultivated a look that sets her apart from her closest sibling and aligns her more directly with her Kardashian half-sisters, filling her closet with shimmering Balmain looks and plenty of streetwear. (She’s also a brand ambassador for Puma and a noted fan of Adidas track wear.) And despite her fame, she managed to stay out of the spotlight while pregnant with her daughter, Stormi Webster.
