There are few women who can top Kylie Jenner when it comes to making a dramatic transformation. The reality TV star practically grew up in the public eye, and her evolution from a young girl to a woman has been the topic of conversation for more than a decade. Kylie first appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007 when she was just 9 years old! The Kylie Cosmetics founder turned 26 this year, and it's amazing how much she has changed. Of course, people naturally grow up and look different than they did as kids, but with Kylie, the change is a lot more dramatic than simply "getting older."

Kylie is no stranger to the world of red carpets.
A stylish baby Kylie was on the red carpet for a movie premiere with dad Caitlyn Jenner (formerly known as Bruce Jenner), mom Kris, and sister Kendall in the year 2000. Is it us, or is she giving someone a bit of side-eye?
The rest of the world was then introduced to Kylie in 2007.
Kylie appeared on the first season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians with the rest of her family, and the rest was history. She was so young back then. Her crazy antics with sister Kendall Jenner back in those days were some of the best and funniest moments on the show.
By 2010, Kylie was regularly doing red carpet events alongside her siblings.
As a reality TV star, Kylie had access to many cool events. She showed up wearing light makeup, and her gorgeous naturally brown hair looked so shiny and healthy! She's always had such nice, thick hair. Seems to run in the family.
Check out Kylie's young, fun style in 2010.
Ripped jeans, a T-shirt, and Converse sneakers seems like the perfect outfit for Kylie at the time. She was almost 13 years old when this picture was taken, and she looks every bit the budding teenager.
Things started to look a little edgier for Kylie around 2011.
A 14-year-old Kylie slightly changed her hair color to have a bit of pink on the ends. Since then, Kylie has worn her hair in every color under the sun! And not for nothing—all the colors seem to suit her.
This was around the time Kylie discovered tanning.
Kylie made a red carpet appearance wearing a black dress with a sheer overskirt in 2012. She was 15 and looked so glamorous. She seemed to be sporting a slight tan and was embracing a rather elegant look.
Kylie began changing her style around 2012.
Wearing all black, high heels, and a little leather is a great way to make your look seem more polished and grown up but not too serious. Right around this time, Kylie started embracing darker colors for certain events.
Her face started to look a bit different in 2013.
A change to her eyebrows made a huge difference in Kylie's face. Her eyes suddenly looked wider, and her whole face seemed to take a totally new shape, not quite as round as we were used to.
Kylie started to experiment more with makeup.
She was rocking the heck out of that red lipstick in 2013. This was before she started using lip fillers. This was also two years before she started Kylie Cosmetics. Do you think she had any idea that she would even start a cosmetics company back then?
Kylie left her little girl looks behind in 2013.
From wearing crop tops to high heels to her long dark hair, 16-year-old Kylie was ready to take on the world. She was still so young but definitely opting for looks that were more "grown up" looking and less teenybopper.
In 2013, Kylie's style began to change.
She was often spotted wearing darker looks that made her look super chic. Her fashion choices for red carpet events seemed more elegant than before. The thing about her then and now is that she isn't afraid to experiment or change up her look.
Kylie chopped off her hair up to her shoulders, and it marked the beginning of her massive transformation.
In 2014, Kylie left behind the long, dark locks her older sisters are known for and traded it in for an edgier, short blunt cut with the ends lightened. Soon after this, she began changing her hair color regularly—although she does use wigs sometimes instead of actually changing her hair color.
In 2014, Kylie debuted a blue ombré hairstyle that made people pay attention.
The TV star became the cool and trendy sister of the Kardashian-Jenners. She began carving her own style and dressing differently than the rest of her squad. This was also around the time when people started noticing a change in her pout.
In a matter of months, her lips seemed to become larger than life.
Toward the end of 2014, Kylie's lips appeared to double in size, even though at the time she maintained that it was all thanks to her overlining her lips. Who knows? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
By 2015, Kylie began looking like the woman we all know today.
It was no longer surprising to see her using hair extensions, mixing up her makeup looks, or wearing a wide range of styles. She was still a teenager, but she had a very womanly vibe going on.
Her drastic changes became the subject of speculation about whether or not she had gone under the knife.
Kylie faced rumors in 2015 about whether or not she had undergone a breast augmentation, since her chest began to look dramatically larger than before. But did it really, or was she just presenting it differently?
She even had a Barbie doll moment in 2015.
If Barbie had green hair, that is. At this point, Kylie completely transformed herself into someone who looked nothing like the young girl the world met in 2007. She was still lovely, but she definitely looked WAY different.
She had a brief blond moment in 2015, and we were so here for it.
She made it work. People noticed her style and admired her use of makeup. She was amassing fans who loved to use her looks as inspiration for their own looks. She's still an inspiration to many style-wise.
Kylie, who was still a teenager at the time, began to look super mature in 2016.
It's hard to believe that Kylie wasn't even in her 20s before all of these massive changes happened with her style and appearance. But then again, by 2016, she was a full-fledged businesswoman. Her timeline isn't like most people's.
Kylie began wearing her long extensions again and showing off her curves.
Fans took notice that Kylie had become dramatically curvier in what seemed like a short period of time. Her hips seemed rounder, while her waist remained small—and the reality TV star wasn't afraid to show it off.
By the end of 2016, she established herself as a queen of fashion and beauty.
Kylie made so many changes to her appearance throughout the year that it was almost difficult to keep up. She debuted platinum blond hair and walked around wearing only the best fashion designers, whose clothes perfectly fit her figure.
By 2017, Kylie had left her old boyfriend Tyga behind and was ready for some new beginnings.
Kylie had worn her hair in multiple colors, often switching between actually coloring it and wigs. Her style went from being super dressed up to a bit more toned down as she got older.
In 2017, fans got to see a simpler, more natural Kylie than they had in a while.
Kylie laid low for the latter half of the year because she was expecting her first child, even though it wasn't public at the time. She changed her glamorous look and opted for more comfortable styles, and she began sharing photos of herself with little to no makeup on her Instagram account.
The beauty mogul welcomed her baby in February 2018.
Since then, Kylie has been spotted wearing sweatpants and loose-fitting T-shirts as often as she wears glam outfits. She looks great either way. And her makeup, when she wears it, is as flawless as ever.
In 2019, she wore a red satin dress that made her look like an old Hollywood star.
She went to a pre-Grammy gala with Travis Scott in 2019, and the dress she wore screamed HOLLLYWOOD SIREN. She looked like she could have starred in a film next to Rita Hayworth or Jane Russell.
In 2022, she became a mom again.
Kylie and Travis welcomed their second child together in early 2022. Kylie's style continues to be one where she looks just as comfortable glammed up as she does glammed down. She always seems to like and enjoy what she's wearing, and that's really all that matters.
At Paris Fashion Week 2023, she accessorized her look with a lion head.
In January 2023, Kylie was photographed at Paris Fashion Week. She wore a black Schiaparelli dress and carried a (fake) lion head to complete the bold look. Kylie as well as other members of the Kar-Jenner family were there supporting Kim Kardashian — who helped design Dolce & Gabbana's spring/summer 2023 collection with Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce.
She looked absolutely stunning at the 2023 Met Gala, amid rumors that she was dating Timothée Chalamet.
In May 2023, Kylie showed up looking absolutely stunning for the Met Gala. The Kylie Cosmetics mogul wore a two-toned dress and coverup in honor of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. She finished her look with an updo and a pair of diamond earrings.
Could she have been glowing more than usual because of her reported new boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet?
