See photos of Kim’s grand transformation, from D-lister to the mega-star she is today.
Kim Kardashian is really a classic at this point. The reality star has been in the spotlight so long, it’s wild to think about how much she’s changed over the years. But every Oct. 21st, we love taking a look back at her best photos in honor of her birthday.
Kim first maneuvered into Hollywood as a young socialite, attending events and supporting her famous friends like Paris Hilton. Once KUWTK premiered on E!, everything changed. 24/7 cameras lead to big fame and bigger business opportunities.
From her trips to Miami with sisters Kourtney and Khloe to her time working on new scents for her fragrance line, Kim quickly laid the foundation for her own empire. Along the way, the gorgeous celeb married her now-ex husband, Kanye West, and had four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. The duo divorced in early 2021 and now that she’s single, she’s been more focused on fashion than ever.
Kim’s evolution is really a sight to behold. See how she’s grown from a 2000s-nobody to the most famous woman in the world, right here.
