Kendall shows up with her sister Kylie Jenner to a Wango Tango concert, pairing casual neon pink leggings with Converse sneakers. Honestly, it’s a perfect outfit for a kid on the red carpet.

Side note: Shout out to Kylie’s Uggs.

one year later, Kendall hits the ESPYs, looking slightly more grown up in heels and a ruffled mini-dress. Her minimal makeup look already screams “model off-duty.”

Kendall is back at Wango Tango two years later — still keeping it casual with a denim skirt and sneakers. That said, her blazer definitely has an “Oh hi, I’m older and more sophisticated now, FYI!” vibe.

Kendall’s style begins to take on a more grown-up aesthetic: She’s ditched the patterns, wears all black like a true NYC model, and rocks a sleek, slicked-back ponytail.

February 2012,

honestly, the only clue that this isn’t Kendall circa right now is the platform on her stilettos. Otherwise, the shift dress and hair tendrils are 100 percent a look she’d rock in 2018.

Kendall keeps it simple for this Rent the Runway event, opting for long, middle-parted hair, low-key makeup, and a short black jumpsuit — all of which scream, “let me walk down your runway, k thx.”

August 2012,

Kendall still wears affordable brands as she becomes more and more fashion-forward. Proof? Steve Madden designed the platform stilettos she wears to this Seventeen magazine party.

February 2013,

pay attention to this Badgley Mischka look, because it’s a) one of the earliest examples of Kendall truly going all-out on the red carpet, and b) a favorite she’ll recreate later in her fashion journey.

Kendall reverts to her go-to beauty look: minimal makeup and a middle part. Again, she favors clothing that highlights craftsmanship and clean lines, vs, well, what she wore at Coachella. Which brings us to…

May 2014,

for her first Met Gala, Kendall keeps things relatively safe with a strapless Champagne-colored ball gown — and has Topshop design it. She does, however, up the glam factor by wearing 82 carats of Chopard diamonds around her neck.

May 2014,

after slaying her first Met Gala, Kendall hops over to France for Cannes and nails it in a Chanel dress, a Chanel clutch, and Chopard jewels. Honestly, this look is perfection.

Kendall hits the amfAR gala wearing a bright-red Romona Kevezadress with a MAJOR leg slit. She styles her hair almost the exact same way she did when she wore a similar gown in 2013.

May 2016,

Kendall’s Met Gala style has gotten edgier and edgier over the years, but the form-fitting Atelier Versace gown she wears in 2016 is the perfect balance of modern and sophisticated.

May 2018,

welp, Kendall has never looked better. For the 2018 Met Gala, she wears a crisp Off-White jumpsuit — but the best part of this look just might be her crazy-long ponytail.
