Kendall Jenner celebrates her birthday - see then and now transformation as she turns 30

Back in 2009, a young Kendall was the picture of California charm in a striped sundress and slouchy brown boots. With her long brunette hair and shy smile, she looked every bit the girl next door – long before fashion week front rows became her norm.

At just 15 in 2010, Kendall was already making red-carpet waves in a tan ruched mini dress and cage heels. Her confidence – and her signature poise – were beginning to shine through, hinting at the model she’d soon become.

By 2012, Kendall had swapped her casual teen style for something sleeker, stepping out in a chic animal-print mini at The Hunger Games premiere. Her pulled-back hair and polished glow marked the start of her supermodel transformation.

In 2013, Kendall turned up the glamour at the American Music Awards in a crisp white cut-out mini dress and a bold statement necklace. It was a red-carpet moment that confirmed she was ready to trade reality TV fame for fashion royalty.

On the 2014 Billboard Music Awards red carpet, Kendall shimmered in a white halter-top bodysuit and metallic trousers, a daring, leg-lengthening look that screamed "supermodel in the making". Her sleek hair and sculpted makeup sealed the deal.

In 2015, Kendall made her unforgettable Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut. In a vibrant red corset and flowing blue wings, she looked every inch the runway angel – confident, radiant, and owning the spotlight.

At New York Fashion Week in 2019, Kendall stunned in a lemon-and-black mini dress and open-toe mules. Her minimalist look – and noticeably refined features – showed just how much her style (and confidence) had evolved.

In 2021, Kendall ruled the runway in a structured black two-piece paired with a pop of red lipstick. Sleek, confident and impossibly polished, it was clear she had mastered the art of quiet luxury.

In 2023, Kendall brought poolside glamour to new heights in a chartreuse green gown with glossy black gloves. With slicked-back hair and sculpted cheekbones, she radiated elegance and ease – the definition of modern supermodel chic.

Now in 2025, the 29-year-old star favours understated sophistication. Wearing a simple black gown and barely-there glam, Kendall proves that confidence is her best accessory – a fitting look for a woman who’s grown up in front of the world.
