Kylie Jenner has been taking Paris Fashion Week by storm with a selection of glamorous front row appearances in jaw-dropping haute couture ensembles.
Her headline-making outings in the French capital appears to mark the 25-year-old’s official return to the spotlight after welcoming her second child, 11-month old son Aire, last year.
The beauty mogul is no stranger to making waves after growing up in the limelight thanks to the success of her family’s reality TV shows over the past 15 years.
In that time, fans have witnessed the reality star transform from an awkward teenager to an A-list bombshell with a multimillion-dollar business to her name.

However, the change in her physical appearance over the years has often seen the Kylie Cosmetics founder having to deny going under the knife to achieve her sculpted visage.
Elsewhere, fans have also speculated that she achieved her famous curves through plastic surgery.
Amid the continuous speculation, Kylie has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of fashion, business and entertainment – making her one of the richest women in the United States under 30.
Here, FEMAIL takes a look back at the Lip Kit mogul’s transformation from teenage reality star to a doting mother-of-two that turned fans’ fascination with her changing looks into a wildly successful beauty empire.
The first generation of reality kids: How growing up in the spotlight alongside her famous family made Kylie a household name

Kylie Jenner was only 10 years old when Keeping Up With The Kardashians first hit screen in 2007.
As the youngest member of the famous family, the fresh-faced star was the most camera-shy at times. However, she famously took part in memorable moments that had viewers talking.
In an early episode Kim Kardashian decided to gift her mother, Kris Jenner, with a stripper pole, and Kylie proceeded to jump up and spin herself around on the pole.
The then nine-year-old bragged, ‘Look at what I can do’, as Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin commented: ‘You’re definitely a future Pussycat Doll’.
As the show gained more popularity, Kylie and her sister, Kendall, began to establish their own identities away from their half siblings.
Thanks to her embrace of social media apps like Snapchat and Keek, Kylie soon grew in popularity with a younger audience. Between 2014 and 2016, she managed to establish herself as a celebrity in a league of her own.
This led to the star landing her own spin-off reality series, Life of Kylie, which gave the world a closer look at her life with friends such as her former BFF, Jordyn Woods.
However, the reality star made a significant step away from living her life in front of the cameras after she became pregnant with her first child, Stormi, in 2017.
Her appearances on KUWTK became far less frequent, with the series eventually coming to an end in June 2021.
The star has been equally as absent in the family’s new show with Hulu, The Kardashians, which began in April 2022.
The transformative years: The star’s experimentation with lip fillers saw her making headlines for her ever-changing looks

Amid media speculation Kylie originally denied getting injections, crediting carefully applied lip liner for accentuating her lips (pictured left in 2012 and right in 2015)
In 2017, the star chose to dissolve her lip filler. However, she appears to have continued getting her lips plumped in the years that followed
Kylie finally admitted she had ‘temporary lip fillers’ in 2015, when she was still 17 years old
Kylie started showing off noticeably plumper lips in 2014 when she was just 16, sparkling speculation she had them cosmetically enhanced.
She denied for more than a year that she had lip fillers and instead chose to credit carefully applied lip liner for accentuating her pout.
Then on a 2015 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians – when she was just 17 – Kylie finally admitted: ‘I have temporary lip fillers. It’s just an insecurity of mine and it’s what I wanted to do.
‘I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth, but I didn’t lie.’
Just months later, she started venturing into the world of cosmetics. When the very first Kylie Cosmetic lip kit was finally made available on her website, the product sold out within 30 seconds.
Kylie finally got candid about the incident that spurred her to get lips fillers in September 2017 on an episode of E!’s Life of Kylie.
The mother-of-two said: ‘I was 15 and I was insecure about my lips… I [had] really small lips.’
‘It was like one of my first kisses and a guy was like, “I didn’t think you would be a good kisser because you have such small lips,”‘ she said, adding that she ‘took that really hard.’
She continued: ‘Just when a guy you like says that, I don’t know, it just really affected me – I just didn’t feel desirable or pretty.’
Shortly after the episode aired, a fan remarked she looked like the ‘old Kylie’ in a snap she posted which featured a significantly smaller pout
The reality simply replied: ‘I got rid of all my filler.’
However, in the years that have followed, it appears the beauty mogul has continued to rely on fillers to achieve her desired lip fullness.
Kylie has said in the past she is terrified of plastic surgery, claiming her curvy figure is down to weight gain as she became an adult (pictured left in 2012 and right in 2019)
In 2015, she denied getting cosmetically enhancing her chest in a blog post, stating: ‘No, people – I haven’t gotten breast implants’ (pictured in 2018)
So far, Kylie has admitted to changing her appearance with fillers and nothing else (pictured left in 2015, and right in 2022)

However, despite admitting to lip filler, she has categorically denied she has had plastic surgery.
The reality star previously wrote on Twitter: ‘These plastic surgery rumors hurt my feelings to be honest and are kinda insulting.’
In 2015, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star chose to address the ongoing speculation on her website as she wrote: ‘No, people – I haven’t gotten breast implants. Everyone is obsessed with that. Truth is, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gained 15 pounds and my body has changed; I’ve definitely filled out.
‘I just use the Bombshell (bra) by Victoria’s Secret. It’s life-changing. I’ve gotten all my sisters on it and all my friends…Clearly, it’s like 10 times bigger – no contouring, no nothing.
‘This is all padding. I think it makes your breast look great and girlie. This is it. No breast implants. No surgery. Nothing. It’s amazing. So if you guys want this look, here’s my secret.’
She added: ‘Working with some of the best makeup artists has taught me a lot of amazing tricks to making me feel more confident and I can’t wait to share them with you guys.
‘I swear there are things you can do to work on problem areas without having to think about plastic surgery. (Contouring has changed my life!)’.
Despite her claims, a plastic surgeon previously told MailOnline that he believed Kylie’s face was the work of plastic surgery, in particular her ‘thin nose’ which he believed has been altered.
Alex Karidis, from the Karidis Clinic, claimed her changed nose could be down to rhinoplasty, and said: ‘Her nose appears thinner, particularly at the tip.’
Kylie has continued to deny undergoing any other surgery on her face despite constant rumors surrounding the changing shape of her eyes, cheekbones and chin.
Top plastic surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe also previously told Closer magazine that he believed the beauty mogul has had more work done than she claimed and this was ‘aging her.’
He wrote: ‘Kylie has made herself look way beyond her years. All the surgery I suspect she’s had – fillers to her lips and cheeks, a nose job and possibly some bone shaving around her jaw – is aging her.
‘Her eyes look wider, which implies she may have had eye surgery.
‘If she continues with all these treatments, in 10 years’ time the skin around her lips will have stretched like a balloon and if she doesn’t keep plumping them up the skin will be wrinkled.’
Back in February 2019, Kylie once again denied having plastic surgery but was happy to admit that her look was not completely natural.
She told Paper: ‘People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false. I’m terrified! I would never. They don’t understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers, can really do.’
When asked if she meant she had been relying on makeup tricks to get her look, Kylie replied: ”I mean, no. it’s fillers. I’m not denying that.’
Billion-dollar baby: How the reality star turned her beauty insecurities to build a hugely successful makeup brand, before branching out into skincare and baby products

The reality star has become one of the richest women in the United States under 30 thanks to her many brands
In November 2019, Coty bought out a 51 per cent majority stake in the company in a deal worth about $600 million
Thanks to her savvy business decisions, Kylie has become one of the richest women in the United States under 30.
With the help of mother Kris, Kylie Cosmetics was launched in 2014 in partnership with Seed Beauty.
The then 17-year-old invested $250,000 from her own income into the company and she has since been reaping the rewards in the years that have followed.
By February 2016, the company had to ramp up its manufacturing capacity and within its first 18 months of operation, it had generated more than $420 million in revenues.
Kylie’s venture ultimately expanded from just Lip Kits to a whole range of cosmetics including eyeshadows, blush, and foundation.
In July 2018 and at the age of 20, she became the youngest person to be listed in the Forbes list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women with an estimated net worth of nearly $900 million.
In November 2018, Kylie Cosmetics further ramped up its retail and digital expansions by partnering up with Ulta Beauty and launching a mobile app in the same month.
By September 2019, Kylie had successfully expanded her brand into skincare and personal fragrances.
In November of that same year, Coty bought out a 51 per cent majority stake in the company in a deal worth about $600 million. This deal put the company at a $1.2 billion valuation and pushed Kylie’s net worth over the billion-dollar mark.
However, in 2020, Forbes reported that the Coty deal also highlighted that Kylie’s business had actually been much less profitable than what she had publicly stated. The company revised her net worth to $900 million, thus stripping her of the billionaire’s title.
Kylie continued to expand her business empire by launching new product lines like Kylie Swim, a swimwear line, in August 2021, and Kylie Baby, a skincare product line for babies, in September 2021.
Stepping back from the spotlight: Preparing for motherhood saw Kylie shun media attention so she could experience pregnancy away from the public eye
Kylie, former partner Travis Scott, and their daughter, Stormi, all pose together in 2022
Kylie revealed that her baby son’s name is Aire on Instagram on Saturday after deciding to change his name following his birth in 2022
The Kylie Cosmetics founder shares two children with Travis Scott: their four-year-old daughter, Stormi, and nearly one-year-old son who was born last year in February.
Shortly after she began a relationship with rapper Travis in 2017, Kylie left fans confused when she went completely off the grid for several months.
During that time, speculation that she was expecting her first child was rampant as the world obsessed over rare images of the star which were captured by paparazzi during those months.
She then confirmed the birth of her daughter with a sweet YouTube video in February 2018, which detailed her pregnancy and motherhood journey with a series of home videos.
Though Kylie was more open with her second pregnancy, she was still far more elusive than fans had become accustomed to – with many believing that was partly as a result of the fatal Astroworld Festival crowd crush in November 2021.
Kylie kicked off the year with a snow fashion moment as she wore vintage Alaïa in Aspen
The mother-of-two has been seen putting on a chic sartorial display since Paris Fashion Week kicked off
The star caused quite the furor after she was seen in a polarizing lion head dress for Monday’s Schiaparelli Haute Couture show
When she gave birth to her son in 2022, the star chose to keep his face hidden from the public for several months.
However, she finally revealed his face – and his name – on January 21 with an Instagram post.
The beauty mogul and her former partner chose to name their baby boy, Aire, which means Lion of God.
The former couple had originally named the boy Wolf, only to opt to change his name after deciding it didn’t fit his personality.
Her post also revealing the adorable child’s face for the first time and came just two weeks after she reportedly split from Travis, 31.
Now it appears the reportedly single mother-of-two is more than ready to return to the spotlight after making a series of striking fashion moments in the past month.
Kylie kicked things off by going viral for her wintery fashion moment after she wore vintage Alaïa during a trip in Aspen.
The mother-of-two has since been seen putting on a chic sartorial display in France after jetting overseas to make an appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
