From the King Kylie Era to the 2026 Oscars, here are Kylie Jenner's most iconic beauty looks throughout the years.
If you're part of Gen Z, there's a high likelihood that Kylie Jenner was one of your first beauty role models. Since becoming famous at just 9 years old with the debut of her family's reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Jenner, now 29, stands as the youngest member of pop culture's elite family. She matured alongside her widely recognized sisters, including Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, who have had a monumental impact on fashion over the past ten years. Growing up in a household with six affluent and influential siblings might make it easy to blend in, yet the savvy younger sister captured the spotlight when she sported teal hair, plump lips, and the Snapchat nickname "King Kylie," garnering worldwide attention as the youngest sibling.
Kylie Jenner's social media dominance took off in 2015, marking the start of a buzz-worthy career that led fashion editors to document every outfit she wore, fans to overline their lips, and beauty enthusiasts eagerly anticipating Kylie Cosmetics' product launches. (Let's be honest, we all wanted Kylie Lip Kits as holiday gifts, right?) However, Jenner didn't simply rest on her beauty achievements in subsequent years. From early red carpet appearances to Sugar Factory restaurant events to Met Gala moments, the entrepreneur continually transformed her appearance, experimenting with every hair color and makeup micro-trend. Below, explore her most significant looks from 2010 to the present.

2016:

2017:

2019:

2022:
