Before and after: Kendall Jenner's beauty and style evolution How the look of the supermodel has changed from her debut till today
It was in 2011 that a young Kendall Jenner made her debut as a model on the catwalks of the big names in fashion. Although success had already arrived with the highly popular TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the first big breakthrough in her career as a supermodel came when Katie Grand launched her during Marc Jacobs 2014 Fall/Winter show during a non-pandemic New York Fashion Week. A straight bob, a headband, white powder on her face and Twiggy Lawson eye make-up. Who would not have bet that the then 18-year-old would soon become one of the most popular - and best-paid - models in the world, and that she would appear on the runways of the most famous fashion houses, from Fendi to Chanel straight through Versace and Balmain.
Far from the super glam looks of the catwalk or the red carpets, Kendall prefers a minimal and functional style, even though versatility in dressing has always been one of her strong points. In fact, the model wears nonchalantly ultra-grippy 12 heels and OG sneakers mixed with 90s-inspired outfits, jeans, sweatshirts, t-shirts and basic tops, or biker shorts, mini and bodycon dresses, oversized blazers, leather pants, and denim jumpsuits. Among her must-haves? A nice pair of dark sunglasses and the it-bag of the moment. However, Kendall certainly gives her best on special occasions, when she wears couture dresses by big designers or emerging talents and makes us dream of her breathtaking beauty. On those occasions, the top has gone from wearing tight-fitting mini-dresses to maxi-lengths with plunging necklines and interesting cut-outs. One thing's for sure, for the red carpet Kendall always sticks to the go big or go home philosophy, opting for super glamorous looks, including sparkles, sequins, transparencies, lace, very long train, animal prints or vibrant colour blocks, like a real diva.
