Kylie Jenner has been in the spotlight ever since she was little, thanks to being a member of American reality TV's first family, The Kardashians. Growing up on television meant that Kylie's transformation over the years has been heavily documented - and scrutinized.

Whether it's speculation about her having cosmetic surgery or tweakments, or the number of fans influenced by her makeup and fashion, Kylie's transformation has attracted a lot of attention - and influenced a lot of people as a result.

She said in an episode of the show on June 20: "It’s a miracle I still have confidence and can still look in the mirror and still think I'm pretty."

The new look was a major throwback to 2014

"I hear nasty things about myself all the time," she said in a tearful confessional. "I think it's just after 10 years of hearing about it, it just gets exhausting."

She admitted it does affect her, as "people have been talking about my looks since I was 12 or 13, before I even got lip filler."

Kylie has perhaps been the most adventurous of her sisters when it comes to changing up her looks, as she's gone from blue hair and ombré looks to bleach blonde hair, while transforming her clothes from street style chic to quiet luxury chic.

Considering Kylie's openness about her insecurities and how she has changed her appearance, HELLO! looks back at her most influential fashion and beauty moments over the years.
