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.

Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi has hilarious reaction to her iconic 'King' era
Before becoming a mom in 2018, Kylie Jenner reigned over Instagram as 'King Kylie' — an iconic style era that coincided with the success of her lip kit line. During her 'King Kylie' era, which lasted from 2014 to 2017, the 27-year-old makeup mogul rocked colorful wigs and wild, curve-clinging outfits. And on Monday, Jenner — who now opts for a more natural look — decided to show her daughter Stormi, seven, how she looked in that era for the very first time. In a clip posted to TikTok, Kylie captured Stormi's reaction as she pulled up a photo of herself wearing a vibrant blue wig, a red T-shirt dress and thigh-high boots in 2016. Stormi — who is one of two kids Kylie shares with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott — was totally shocked to see her mom rocking such a bold ensemble. 'Why are you so shocked?' Kylie asked Stormi. The wide-eyed little girl replied: 'Did you dye your hair in that photo?' On Tuesday, Kylie Jenner decided to show her daughter Stormi, seven, how she looked during her iconic 'King Kylie' era for the very first time In a clip posted to TikTok, Kylie captured Stormi's reaction as she pulled up a photo of herself wearing a vibrant blue wig, a red T-shirt dress and thigh-high boots in 2016 (pictured) Kylie explained to Stormi that it was only a wig and that she 'used to love wearing wigs.' 'A blue wig with a red outfit?!' exclaimed Stormi as she stood beside Kylie with her hands on her hips. Kylie acknowledged it was not her best fashion moment and Stormi enthusiastically agreed. 'It's not a good combo,' the seven-year-old said. 'I know,' Kylie replied. Kylie, who was makeup-free in the video, quickly turned the camera on herself and then back to Stormi as the child jokingly told her audience: 'That's what [Kylie] gets!' The clip ended with Kylie revealing to her 57.8million followers that her and Stormi were snacking on cherries in the kitchen of her Hidden Hills mansion. The Kylie cosmetics founder captioned the TikTok post: 'stormi just discovered the king kylie era ……' Stormi is Kylie's eldest child with rapper Travis Scott, 34. The exes, who split in late 2021 after a five year on/off romance, also share son Aire, three. During her 'King Kylie' era, which lasted from 2014 to 2017, the 27-year-old makeup mogul rocked colorful wigs and wild, curve-clinging outfits; Kylie left in 2015 and right in 2025 While Kylie has adopted a more natural glam look since dating actor Timothee Chalamet, the star has paid homage to her iconic 'King Kylie' era in recent years. Last January, Kylie, a natural brunette, posted selfies in a pink wig with the caption: 'hiiiii remember me' The transformation stunned fans, who asked if she was bringing her 2010s style back. 'KING KYLIE is back?!!!!!!!!!!' one account asked. 'The return of king Kylie!?!' one fan remarked while another posted, 'THE KING IS BACKKKK.' More recently, Kylie brought back her infamous blue wig in September 2024 as she posed for glamour shots in her backyard. The wig was so realistic that her big sister Khloe Kardashian dropped into the comments to speculate about whether or not she actually dyed her hair. 'I'm not falling for this anymore,' the 40-year-old Good American founder teased. While Kylie was rocked a variety of bold, eye-catching hair colors over the years, her blue hair is most closely associated with her 'King Kylie' era. She famously sported the controversial color at her older sister Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West back in 2014, a fashion choice Kim ultimately surrendered to. 'Kylie's hair is still blue and she promised me she would put extensions in to cover it,' Kim remarked on the KUWTK episode for her nuptials. 'It's just not worth the battle and I'm just going to let it go and she has blue hair at my wedding.'

Because of The Longevity Movement, Sometimes One Face Lift Isn't Enough
Earlier this month, 27-year-old Kylie Jenner answered the plea of a TikToker and shared her exact details of her breast augmentation, down to the plastic surgeon. When Beverly Hills-based board-certified plastic surgeon Garth Fisher took to his Instagram to express his gratitude and further confirm it was indeed him who did the job, there was another familiar face in the comments: Jenner's mother, Kris. 'Garth you are such a superstar class act!!' Kris gushed. 'You did my first facelift in 2011…14 years ago!!!' I'm not a Kardashian family historian, so the inclusion of first caught me off guard. It was recently confirmed that Kris had a facelift at 69 years old—look at those cheeks!—but a quick search revealed that, yes, she also had a facelift with Dr. Fisher that was filmed for Keeping Up With the Kardashians 14 years ago, when she was 55. In the weeks since Kris chose cosmetic surgery transparency a la Marc Jacobs, facelift-related chatter has reached a fever pitch. And it's not just lip service: Every single doctor I spoke to for this story cited a 50% spike in interest in the surgery. Beverly Hills-based facial plastic surgeon Babak Azizzadeh, MD, FACS declared that the surgery is 'one of the most essential tools for facial rejuvenation' and more powerful than any other treatment—lasers, injectables, microneedling, radiofrequency, and more—in the anti-aging world. 'A facelift, in essence, involves the repositioning of soft tissue and modification of deeper fat compartments and glands,' he says. In more direct terms: The skin of the face is lifted up, the face and muscles underneath repositioned and sculpted into a desired effect, and then the skin is tightened and cut to sit taut across the face. 'For most people, a facelift is a once-in-a-lifetime procedure,' says double board-certified plastic surgeon David Shafer, MD, FACS. 'But as people are now living longer and staying socially active for longer, they are also returning for tweaks or additional surgery.' It's just one of the many unexpected spinoffs of the longevity movement.

Why today's young stars are all borrowing supermodel Claudia Schiffer's iconic 90s style
, Elsa Hosk, and Dua Lipa are among the A-listers who have drawn style inspiration from a true Nineties catwalk icon. From blinging bikinis to retro Versace prints and sheer dresses with giant corsage hairpieces, as well as vintage Chanel, it's fair to say these looks have stood the test of time. But rather than be annoyed that her looks are being emulated, supermodel Claudia Schiffer is delighted that her fashion choices are providing such inspiration - and they have proven to be a rousing success. But who wore it best? Kylie Jenner Kylie Jenner showed off her incredible figure in the same glamorous bikini Claudia Schiffer wore more than 30 years ago. The 27-year-old paid nearly $14,000 for the gem-encrusted two piece from Chanel which the now-54-year-old modeled in 1995. Captioning her Instagram post, 'No place i'd rather beeee', Kylie showed off her jaw-dropping physique while vacationing in Turks and Caicos. In an Instagram post of her own on Wednesday, Claudia revealed that she had first wowed in that very bikini for luxury brand Chanel all the way back in the mid-90s. Sharing snaps of both her younger self and Kylie sporting the look, the 54-year-old model wrote: '@KylieJenner sparkling in this stunning bikini I wore on the @Chanel Official spring '95 runway.' Kylie is far from the first of the famous Jenner/Kardashian family to lift a look from Claudia's impressive back catalog - the German has previously singled out Kylie's older sister Kim for the way she interpreted one of her looks. Elsa Hosk Fellow model Elsa Hosk paid homage to Claudia at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Swedish model, 36, arrived on the red carpet in a black bodycon gown by Mugler, which Claudia wore in 1995. Just like Claudia did in the nineties, Elsa teamed the glamorous look with pearl necklaces and flower clips in her hair. Even Claudia was impressed by Elsa's recreation of her look as she took to Instagram to praise the 'beautiful' model. Claudia wrote: 'The archival looks at @festivaldecannes just keep coming! The beautiful @hoskelsa wearing a @muglerofficial gown I wore on the Fall/Winter 1995 runway.' Elsa wrote in the comments: 'You're always the inspiration. Icon forever.' Ariana Greenblatt Also channeling Claudia during Cannes Film Festival in May was Ariana Greenblatt. The 17-year-old wore an archival Karl Lagerfeld–era Chanel corset that Claudia debuted in 1993. The chic look - which is exactly 15 years older than Ariana - paid homage to Claudia. Impressed by her ensemble, Claudia wrote on Instagram: 'Love seeing this look have a second life! @Ariana_Greenblatt looking fabulous in the corset I wore on the @ChanelOfficial Spring '93 runway' Sabrina Carpenter and Anne Hathaway Anne Hathaway looked captivating in a green Versace gown in 2023 that Claudia debuted on the runway during Milan Fashion Week just days earlier -with matching silver accessories. The actress completed the look with a pair of chrome pointed-toe heels with bows. While the dress wasn't one of Claudia's archival looks from the nineties, it certainly went down a hit with Anne and Sabrina Carpenter after they both copied the look. Sabrina rocked Claudia's Versace look with an added twist as she took to the stage during her tour in 2024. The pop star opted to turn the dress into a mini version for her performance. Claudia shared a photo of the singer on her Instagram Stories and wrote: 'Love to see this dress living so many lives! '@SabrinaCarpenter you wear it well.' Dua Lipa White hot: Dua Lipa arrived at the 2023 Met Gala in Claudia's vintage Chanel gown paired with a 225-carat diamond necklace Dua Lipa radiated the energy of a princess as she wore a vintage Chanel gown, previously modeled by Claudia, to the 2023 Met Gala. The 27-year-old was stunning in Chanel FW92 Couture, styled by Lorenzo Posocco - originally worn by Claudia in 1992. The singer's stunning tweed ballgown - designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself - was embellished with black and white detailing, and completed with tassels at the bottom. The tight bodice and puffed-out skirt emphasized her tiny waist and added to the elegant look. Claudia wrote on Instagram: 'I always love seeing these special looks live a second life @dualipa @chanelofficial.'

Kylie Jenner reveals she reads comments about herself online
The reality star and beauty mogul has revealed that she is not afraid to read about herself online. In a recent interview with Dazed, Kylie explained that, although she doesn't actively seek out stories about herself on the Internet, she doesn't try to avoid them either. "It's not something that I completely avoid. I won't go and look for it, but I'm not afraid of it. I've found peace with it and I know my limit." When asked if she had ever read a comment online that changed her opinion of herself…
