KUWTK: The Kardashians’ changing appearances over the years
The Kardashians stepped into the limelight back in 2007, fresh-faced and filler-free. They look completely different now.
With Keeping Up With The Kardashians coming to an end, we take a look back at what was just a regular(ish) family in Calabasas, before they became one of the most famous families in the world.
But most importantly, we remind ourselves at what they looked like back in 2007.

Digging out photos of anybody from back then is a scary thought, but with various cosmetic procedures thrown into the mix, nothing is as shocking as the transformation each Kardashian/Jenner has undergone.
KIM KARDASHIAN
Let’s kick it off with the one who started it all, Kris Jenner’s favourite child, Kim.
Kim has always had amazing bone structure – love or hate her, it’s a fact. After learning how to shape her brows and nailing the art of contouring, she looks impeccable.
But let’s not forget that Kim, along with the rest of her family, use a lot of FaceTune.
In February 2019, Kim denied getting a nose job.
“I never had my nose done,” Kim said. “Everyone thought I did, and I said, ‘Wait until I have kids,’ because your real features come out.”

And then there’s possibly the most famous derrière in the world.
Despite questions over the years as to whether she has had bum implants, Kim says she has always had a naturally large bottom, and instead credits her ultra-hourglass figure to working out.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN
Khloe has been the chameleon of the family, forever changing her hair and facial features.
Almost unrecognisable now to how she looked in 2007, her face back then was all puppy fat and no filler. How times changed.
After experimenting with cosmetic injectables, during the later years of the show, she said she didn’t love the results of filler and Botox.
“I don’t know if it’s Botox or filler, I did one of them and my whole face went numb and I could not make (an expression),” she said. “I had to dissolve everything … I looked crazy and I still think the effects are, like, in there.”
Khloe has also denied having a nose job, responding to a fan on Instagram in 2018 saying, “One day, I think I’ll get one because I think about it every day. But I’m scared, so for now, it’s all about contour.”
We can credit a lot of Khloe’s change from being such a fitness fanatic too.
Like Kim, Khloe urges fans that her backside is the real deal.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN
If there is one sibling who hasn’t changed that much, it’s Kourtney.
Her hair and makeup has definitely evolved, but if anything, it’s the lighting on set of the show that has made her look younger.
Besides from getting breast implants, Kourtney is pretty natural.

KENDALL & KYLIE JENNER
Like Kourtney, Kendall prefers the more natural look.
But when she started on the show she was just a kid, so the transformation was always going to be huge. Kendall has grown from that fresh-faced kid into one of the world’s most bankable models.
While she has never admitted to any cosmetic procedures, many think she has had a nose job, and it’s likely she has had some cheek and lip filler.
Meanwhile Kylie, as the youngest of the family, has definitely had the biggest transformation. But can she credit it all to puberty? Not exactly.
Kylie’s facial structure obviously changed a little through puberty, but the biggest noticeable difference is her lips.
In 2017 she finally admitted to getting fillers after feeling self-conscious about them.
Talking on her spin-off show Life Of Kylie, she admitted that she decided to change her lips when she was 15, after a boy made fun of lips when he kissed her. She was 17 when she actually started on the temporary lip fillers.
Speaking to her therapist on the show, she explained: “I was 15 and I was insecure about my lips.
“I had really small lips, and it was, like, one of my first kisses, and a guy was like, ‘I didn’t think you’d be a good kisser because you have such small lips.’
“I took that really hard.”
The 20-year-old went on to say: “Just when a guy you like says that … I don’t know, it just really affected me.
“I didn’t feel desirable or pretty.”
While it was a controversy, Kylie turned it into a billion-dollar business, becoming the youngest self-made billionaire in the world, though she was stripped of that status in May this year.
After admitting to her lip filler, Kylie became a lot more candid about the work she has had done.
In February 2019, she said in an interview with Paper mag, “People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false… They don’t understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers can really do. I mean, no. It’s fillers. I’m not denying that.”
Refreshing!
ROB KARDASHIAN
Really, the only thing that has changed about Rob is his fluctuating weight. Relatable.
Rob decided to take a major step back from the show, so he has been harder to track.
He didn’t attend Kim’s wedding to Kanye West because Kim felt he was too overweight and unattractive.
In 2014 he quit filming altogether due to Kris reportedly wanting him out.
“Kris finally flat-out told him he’s an embarrassment to the family,” a source told Star that year. “She called him a fat slob and told him he’s losing out on business opportunities because no one wants someone as huge as him representing their products.
“Rob feels that show has truly ruined his family,” a source told Radar in February 2014. “He feels very alone.”
