Kylie Jenner has nothing to hide. Keeping up with the star's candid new social media vibe.
Anyone who has followed the Kardashian-Jenners (me!) over the last two decades knows there is a shift happening in a corner of the internet with Kylie Jenner. For years, the Kardashian-Jenners have mastered the art of controlled exposure, offering just enough of their lives to draw fans in on social media, fuel headlines and promote their ever-growing businesses. Thanks to Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which aired on E! from 2007 to 2021, and now The Kardashians on Hulu, the family continues to build an empire on both illusion and owning their drama. They've tackled everything from feuds, divorces and yes, even physical fights on camera without losing their fan base. It's a tricky line to walk: How much of your private life is the public entitled to know? With Kylie, who literally grew up in the spotlight, it's been a delicate balance, and we've seen various iterations. Her pregnancy with daughter Stormi was hidden behind walls of secrecy and YouTube montages. Then there was her "King Kylie" Vine era in 2014, a time marked by colorful hair and real interaction with fans. She's currently in billionaire beauty mommy mogul status, but through them all, she was always the family member who seemed the most real to viewers. The KarJenner image on social media has typically been about perfect camera angles, aesthetically pleasing pictures and post-production polish so smooth you just had to buy whatever product a sister is selling. In 2015, it was Kylie's Lip Kits that broke the internet. Yet, she also owned up that her plumper pout wasn't all natural when she said she had 'temporary lip fillers' on her reality show that same year. Lately, Kylie's online presence has become less about aspirational perfection and more about controlled relatability. Enter that TikTok comment. One reply on TikTok was all it took to usher in a new era for the family's youngest billionaire: "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol.' The message was in response to beauty influencer Rachel Leary's TikTok begging for the details of Kylie's "perfect, natural looking boob job ever." The unfiltered response is notable, as the famous family is particularly tight-lipped about confirming or denying any cosmetic procedures they've had done, let alone in real detail. Kylie was applauded by some on social media after sharing details of her breast augmentation by people crediting her for helping demystify beauty norms. That's rare for celebrities. She's also waded in these waters before. In 2022, the 27-year-old was cheered for 'normalizing' postpartum bodies. It's something she's also discussed on The Kardashians. The candid comment online wasn't a one-off. The 27-year-old followed that up days later by posting a hair tutorial for her "biggest" hair hack, revealing to fans how she gets her signature curly blowout, and also sharing a look at her morning routine. Call it the TikTok comment that cracked the filter, but it opened the door to the glossy illusion that's long surrounded the family's media empire — a narrative shaped by Kris Jenner and meticulously maintained through reinvention and camera-ready control. Now, in the age of Gen Z's demand for 'realness,' Kylie knows: Perfection is out online. Whether it's a business strategy or something more, one thing is certain: we are entering a new phase of Kardashian. And while Kylie's letting her (fourth) wall down, she's not destroying her family's carefully constructed image either — she's cracking open a window and letting just enough light in. The Kardashians stars are experts in both their family and personal brands, having been at the forefront of the digital age for the last two decades. Keeping Up With the Kardashians first aired in 2007. Instagram launched three years later, and the family was brilliant when it came to utilizing social media. They even had celebrity blogs before celebrity blogs were a thing! They've made a career out of being first — first to shape the influencer economy, first to turn personal branding into big business. They may not have been the first to blur the line between reality TV and real life — let's give the Osbournes some credit — but no one can argue they've set the gold standard. Kim helped make contouring a must for makeup application, Kylie turned lip kits into a billion-dollar beauty brand, and Kendall helped redefine what it means to be a supermodel in the modern era. They launched mobile apps and emoji keyboards. They have major footprints in the beauty, liquor and fashion industries. Love them or roll your eyes, they've remained famous and successful for nearly 20 years for shape-shifting with the culture. Kylie's latest social media rebrand reflects that. At 393 million followers, Jenner is the fifth most-followed person on Instagram. She's the most-followed person in her famous family on Instagram and TikTok. You don't get that many people wanting to stay up to date on your life without adapting to online trends. "Kylie has historically been the Kardashian-Jenner sibling who shared the most snippets of her life with her fans, including her iconic 'King Kylie' era when she created videos on Vine in 2014," Jenna Guarneri, author of You Need PR, tells Yahoo Entertainment. "Now, Kylie tapping back into her more authentic side, and amplifying it across her socials, is a strategic move to help her better connect with her Gen Z audience." Kylie is back to doing vlogs and weighing in on viral trends. Last year, she hooked fans with some King Kylie nostalgia when she stepped out with teal hair — then was hilariously candid about why she did it, simply telling Elle she had a 'free day.' While she said the King Kylie era 'will always be a part of who I am,' she clarified, 'it'll never be what it was when I was younger. I probably would never wear lash extensions and thick eyebrows. There are just certain trends that I've grown out of.' On Monday, Kylie shared a TikTok of 7-year-old daughter Stormi's reaction to that time in her life. She's leaning into more unfiltered moments, like one from a recent vacation with sister Kendall on a "drunk beach walk' because polished posts are out, authenticity is in. "Kylie's operating in a cultural moment where audiences don't just expect polish; they want personality, even contradiction," Elise Riley, CEO and founder of marketing and creative agency My Global Presence, tells Yahoo Entertainment. "A generation ago, perfection was the product. Today, what sells is proximity. Kylie isn't abandoning the family's image strategy; she's modifying it to stay in step with how influence now works. And she's doing so with enough restraint to keep the mystique intact." But was that really Jenner who posted the details of her breast augmentation? Or did she give the green light to someone on her social media and branding team to hit send? It doesn't matter, because even if it was scripted, it didn't seem like it was. "Kylie has grown up under public scrutiny, and in that process, she's developed a precise understanding of timing and tone," Riley adds. "What she's offering now… it's permission for the audience to feel like they're seeing past the velvet rope. The allure hasn't changed, but the access point has. People don't need their celebrities to be 'just like them,' but they do want to feel like they're being let in on something that wasn't completely pre-cleared." Even Jenner's courtside appearances at New York Knicks games during the NBA playoffs with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet felt less like a PR stunt and more like genuine glimpses into her private life. It inspired another free-spirited post in which she reshared a clip from Sex and the City where Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones tells Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw she's not getting laid unless the Knicks win. "This was just another instance of Kylie showing her fans the genuine, fun side of her personality. Authenticity for influencers is a hot topic with Gen Z: They want to see the person behind the brand and feel a sense of human connection," Guarneri, who is also founder and CEO of JMG Public Relations, says. Kylie's shift toward more authentic content may be strategic, but it reflects and reinforces a broader generational move toward transparency in public figures. Still, don't anticipate much of a change for her family members. "While it is unlikely that the rest of the family will be as candid as Kylie has recently been, it is possible that we may see more personal testimonials and behind-the-scenes content from the rest of the family outside of The Kardashians show — especially if Kylie's transparency continues to make for positive fan interactions and headlines," Guarneri says. Not every single video or post has to be a confession. There's not a whole lot about the Kardashians that is relatable, and fans have never seemed to care. We even love them for it! Kylie seems to be capitalizing on a different kind of parasocial relationship, though, one that rewards vulnerability even in extreme wealth and fame. "Kylie understands that people aren't expecting her to renounce her privilege. What they're responding to is a shift in tone, a kind of emotional availability that doesn't feel performative," Riley says. "She's not trying to be a peer; she's offering just enough realness to sustain engagement. That's the evolution: not a dismantling of the pedestal, but a softening of the distance." Maybe this is the new Kardashian currency: not perfection, but proximity. How long this chapter lasts is anyone's guess, but Kylie is the one rewriting the rulebook in real time.

Kristin Cavallari spills behind-the-scenes moments of Laguna Beach Reunion
Kristin Cavallari revealed details about her reunion with her Laguna Beach co-stars on the June 17 episode of her Let's Be Honest podcast. She reunited with them in Chicago as part of her live podcast tour and captured it on camera for her E! docuseries, Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. During the tour, Cavallari received several graduates from the popular MTV show, such as Lala Olsen, Jason Wahler, Alex Murrel, Talan Torriero, and Jess Revans. As reported by Cavallari, the reunion on stage was not so smooth. "Being onstage with Laguna, it did feel crazy," she said. "This is my first live podcast tour. I've never done this before, so I'm very tough on myself. Anyway, I thought I was like really more sensitive than I realized." During the event, Cavallari exchanged light-hearted remarks with Torriero, whom she previously dated. She commented on his longer hairstyle, joking that it made him look like 'a bad boy.' In response, Torriero said, 'I'm slowly turning into a Montana boy,' referencing Cavallari's ex, Montana Boyz TikTok member Mark Estes. He added, 'By the way, I'm out of beer.' The moment, which was recorded on Honestly Cavallari, was when Cavallari responded to the comment. In an interview about it on her podcast, she mentioned that her reactions looked more intense on the show than they actually were. "So, absolutely, that is my real reaction after getting off stage," she said. "My reactions to Talon while on stage were definitely hyped. I mean, you'll hear it on the podcast episode. You know, him going off about the Montana boys — I wasn't like, 'Oh my god.' Like, I think I might've actually laughed."

Kristin Cavallari is open to talking about anything or anyone – except this one person
Kristin Cavallari is open to talking about anything or anyone – except this one person In USA TODAY's The Essentials, celebrities share what fuels their lives, whether it's at home, on set, or on the road. NEW YORK – Kristin Cavallari describes her life as "peaceful," something she's "worked really hard for." But maintaining that peace is the main reason why she has no interest in returning to reality television on a full-time basis. "A reality show does not offer any peace whatsoever," Cavallari tells USA TODAY while promoting… well, a reality show. The podcaster and business owner, 38, says her life isn't the right "recipe right now for a good reality show." "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour" (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET/9 CT, on E! and streaming on Peacock) gives her fans a behind-the-scenes look at the star's first ever live podcast tour. "I don't think my life is actually that interesting," she says. "My day-to-day is pretty normal, pretty boring. (My) podcast tour was great; lent itself to great storyline. But I don't have that in my day-to-day life." Kristin Cavallari reveals the one person she's done talking about Kristin Cavallari chats with USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa about her show "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour" and the one topic that's off limits. Kristen Cavallari explains how she deals with headlines, anxiety Cavallari admits that since launching her podcast, "Let's Be Honest," she's the "most open I've ever been" when it comes to sharing her life with others. Over the past eight months, Cavallari has made headlines for topics ranging from a past fling with Glen Powell to her strained relationship with her father. Despite the recent news, the former "Laguna Beach" star says some of these "new" stories actually date back to over two decades ago. "Some of the things that have popped up are so old, but I'm having to live them as though they just happened," she says. "Headlines have been a part of my life since I was 17 and I wish I had a better way of handling it. They still stress me out. They still give me anxiety." Cavallari's coping mechanism is detachment, she says, and she does her best not to read headlines or comments on social media. "What people are saying about me actually has nothing to do with me," she says. "I think when you can finally get that place and understand that, it's a really freeing thing. And I think that comes with maturity and age." Cavallari has been dealing with headlines and pubic interest in personal life since she rose to fame in 2004 as a cast member of MTV's hit reality show "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," followed by its spinoff "The Hills." "My dating life has been the one thing that people have always really latched onto," Cavallari says, referencing "Laguna Beach" and her ex-boyfriend, Stephen Colletti. "I'm sure that's because I came into the world on reality TV with my boyfriend at the time, so people have felt like they're entitled to know what's going on in my dating life. Cavallari says that when she separated from her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, it was initially hard to wrap her head around the idea that people were once again interested in her dating life. Public debut for private Kristin Cavallari's kids The series marks the on-camera debut for Cavallari's children: Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 9. She shares all three with Cutler. "I want to keep my kids, kids," she continues. "Me putting them in a couple of scenes (of the show) does not change that." This topic is off-limits for Kristin Cavallari The podcast host says she's also keeping her life peaceful by focusing on what matters the most to her: family and friends. And the one topic she's done talking about is her ex-husband. "I'm not going to talk about the legal stuff with their dad," Cavallari responds when asked about any conversations she had with Cutler regarding their kids' onscreen debut. The two married in 2013; Cavallari announced her split from Cutler on Instagram in April 2020. "I would prefer not to talk about my ex, you know what I mean?" she continues. "It's been over five years. I kind of wish that everyone would just move on." As for Cavallari's current dating life, that's not off-limits, although the Uncommon James founder doesn't have much to report on that front. "I haven't dated at all this year," she reveals. "I did that intentionally leading up to the podcast tour. I didn't want any distractions. (Dating is) not on my priority list right now. Between work and my kids, I'm kind of maxed out."

Earlier this month, The U.S. Sun revealed Kris has been "struggling" to sell her family's iconic Hidden Hills mansion - as interested buyers complained the massive $13.5m price tag is 'way too high." All About Kris Jenner Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who rose to fame with her six children after starring on the E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Here's what Kris has been up to: Kris was first married to the late Robert Kardashian, famously known as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney in his 1995 murder trial. They shared four children: daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, and a son, Robert The former couple were married from 1978 until 1991. Following their divorce, Kris tied the knot with former Olympian, Bruce Jenner, who also appeared on KUWTK. The pair shared two daughters, Kendall and Kylie. They split in 2015, around the time that Bruce transitioned and changed her name to Caitlyn. Kris met her current boyfriend, Corey Gamble, in August 2014, and they have been together ever since. Kris manages her daughters' widely-successful careers and they've continued their reality TV run with The Kardashians on Hulu, shortly after KUWTK ended. The home would be familiar to Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans, as it was a staple of filming the reality show for over 11 years. According to an insider, the house 'hasn't had any good enough offers.' 'People have complained it's way overpriced for what it is. There has also been a lot of concern over wildfire danger and the lack of insurance available for that. 'The home is gorgeous, everyone agrees on that. But in order to get someone to bite, they'll need to make the price lower,' the real estate source claimed.
