From the King Kylie Era to the 2026 Oscars, here are Kylie Jenner's most iconic beauty looks throughout her career.
If you belong to Gen Z, it’s likely that Kylie Jenner was one of your earliest beauty inspirations. Since debuting at the age of 9 through her family's reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the 29-year-old has emerged as a key figure in popular culture. Growing up with her incredibly famous siblings, including Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, who have made significant contributions to fashion trends in the past decade, Jenner has always been in the limelight. Despite being part of a wealthy and influential family of six, she managed to stand out. When the tech-savvy younger sister flaunted teal hair, accentuated lips, and the Snapchat nickname "King Kylie," she quickly captivated the world's attention.
In 2015, Kylie Jenner kicked off her social media dominance, launching a successful career that had fashion editors tracking her every outfit, fans lining their lips like hers, and beauty enthusiasts eagerly awaiting her Kylie Cosmetics releases. (We all hoped for Kylie Lip Kits as holiday presents, right?) But Jenner didn’t become complacent; over the years, she has transformed her appearance from early red carpet looks to restaurant openings and Met Gala moments, always experimenting with hair colors and makeup trends. Here are some of her defining looks from 2010 to the present.
2010

2013

2014

2015

2016

2017

2019

2022
(Image credit: Taylor Hill/FilmMagic via Getty Images) As Jenner’s fashion matured, she temporarily moved away from colorful hairstyles for elaborate updos, like this exquisitely shaped style by her late hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero.

2023
