- Stop.

Hey guys, it's Kendall Jenner,
and this is My Life in Looks,
and I'm really nervous 'cause I don't know what's in here.
Oh my gosh.
This is 2007
and we are at our "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"
season one premiere.
I think I was probably 11 years old.
I remember these dresses so well.
Kylie and I always had matching clothes.
My mom and Kourtney had a store,
a children's clothing store called Smooch,
so we would always go there to get all of our clothing.
I'm pretty positive both of these dresses
were more than likely from Smooch.
Kylie's little pose here, she is, she's working.
She was so confident when we were younger,
and you could just see it here,
and I'm just like...
[laughs]
Oh, 2014.
This was my first high fashion show,
and it was for Marc Jacobs.
I actually could not believe that I was there.
Weirdly had little nerves,
and I think it was because my shoes were relatively flat.
They weren't some big, tall heel.
I was pretty chill, even though my boobies were out.
I remember going into my agency
and kind of getting a walking lesson,
'cause I didn't necessarily know what I was doing.
I think I took tips too seriously
and ended up being really stiff when I got on the runway.
I've learned a lot since then.
She's just a little girl here and I love to see it.
I had just turned 18.
I remember getting a call from my agent
saying that Marc and Katie wanted to put me
in this kind of sheer top, and I was like, I'm game.
I don't mind.
I'm all good with the nipple,
so it didn't make me any more nervous.
I genuinely was just like, dope, whatever they want.
It's their vision, so let's do it.
I was completely comfortable.
My first Met.
2014 Met Gala.
I was wearing Topshop.
I was sitting at Topshop's table.
I felt really beautiful this night.
I look at it now and I'm like,
"Oh my gosh, I look like a baby", but I felt like a woman.
I was using Kim's hair and makeup people, so I was like,
I feel like I'm embracing this woman side of me.
And it's so funny to look back on this moment now
and be like,
oh my God, you were just such a kid at the time.
I remember driving to the Met
and I had not learned the trick
of having a sprinter van on the way,
and I was in a sedan and I had to lay in the backseat
'cause my corset underneath was so tight.
I was definitely really nervous.
The only person I really really knew there was my sister Kim
and her husband at the time,
and so I was really just going in on my own
and it was really scary.
I warmed up immediately once I got to my table
and it all was good.
And then my sister Kim is so nice,
she just kept coming and checking in on me.
"Are you good, are you good?"
Now I get to go with all my friends
and it's the best thing ever.
Okay, I believe this was 2015.
This was for American Vogue.
It was shot by Mert and Marcus.
It was the Alice in Wonderland photo shoot.
I'm wearing McQueen.
It was the first time I had really put on
a proper proper wig, where I was like,
oh, this really looks like I dyed my hair blonde.
I love working with Mert and Marcus.
They just really pushed me and I learn a lot from them
every time I shoot with them,
but I think at this point in my life specifically,
I was learning so much.
I was just sponging it all in.
They threw me in there with Grace Coddington,
that's so crazy.
It's intimidating walking onto an American Vogue set
for one of the first times.
This is, I think, a time in my life
where I really felt like modeling was working for me
and it was taking off.
Ugh, I feel so lucky to have had these experiences
with some of the most creative, legendary people
in the world.
To think back on 2015
and just how intimidating it all is at that time,
I'm proud of her for doing it all and for pushing myself.
I love to look back.
I'm so nostalgic, so sorry if I'm getting sappy,
but I just, I'm very, I love nostalgia.
2015, this was Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci.
This was the Menswear show.
I remember the cobblestone floors
were a little hard to walk on.
I always felt like when I would walk
Givenchy shows by Riccardo,
I just felt like such a cool girl.
Obviously he just has this badass energy
and so fun to be a part of those shows.
[Kendall gasps]
The best.
2016, my first Vogue cover, September issue.
One of the biggest,
if not the biggest fashion cover you can get.
It's actually a crazy story.
I was confirmed for the April cover for this year
and I had shot it, done it.
I was so excited, could not wait for it to come out.
And a few weeks later, my agent called me
and kind of gave me the bad news and said,
"Your cover's not going to print."
And I'm so sad on the phone.
I think I had a tear come to my eyes
and he ends the phone call with,
"But you got the September cover", and I lost it
and I broke down in tears and I was just so excited.
I just couldn't even believe
that that was gonna be me on American September Vogue cover.
I was just so filled with joy.
I'd say this is a really cool moment for Mert, Marcus and me
just 'cause I feel like it was a moment
where we really got to play and we had so much fun.
I was literally going everywhere I could
to find myself on the stands for this cover.
It was a very big moment for me
and I was really, really happy.
[Kendall gasps]
Stop.
This was Coachella 2016.
This was the vibe at the time, okay?
You need to understand.
Would I wear this now to Coachella or anywhere?
I don't think so.
But you know what, I was feeling myself then
and that's okay.
That's all I have to say about this look.
We can move on.
2017, American Vogue, again by Mert and Marcus.
As you can tell, we love each other.
We have a very special relationship.
I showed up on set.
They had told me I was gonna do this.
I was gonna stand on the horse, and can you do this?
I was like, absolutely, this is so cool.
They tried it out.
They tried to make it all work
and tried to make sure that the photo would fit properly
and whatever, and it ended up not working out.
What they ended up doing was they took a photo of the horse
and then they put out thin plywood almost
and set it on top of either side of a stand,
and I had to stand on the plywood
as if I was standing on the horse
and then they Photoshopped us together.
So I'm so sorry for anyone that thought this was real.
We wish it was, and we tried.
It didn't end up happening to be real.
V at the Met.
This was 2018.
I loved this Met.
Virgil had just announced
that he was going to be with Louis Vuitton,
so he was in Louis Vuitton and I was in Off White.
We worked together really heavily
on creating this look for me.
Most of our conversations were over FaceTime,
but you never felt like there was a disconnect.
He always was putting all of his energy into it,
so you always felt really comfortable
and safe in his arms, in a way.
My outfit specifically, I remember we went back and forth.
We kind of loved the deconstructed, very raw feeling look,
and we kind of both decided that it's Off White
and it was me and I'm a tomboy at heart
and it just felt like it fit both of us so well
for me to be in pants,
but to have the little train on the pant.
We just had all these special Virgil touches
that felt very much like both of us.
I met Virgil through Kim and Kanye.
We walked down the aisle together
for Kim and Kanye's wedding.
With Louis happening, and then now him being at the Met
and us being able to go together,
I felt like I was part of a really cool moment for him
and that was such an honor.
2018, this is just me cruising around New York
on a Citi bike.
This was actually my birthday, November 3rd.
I was in New York
for I think the Victoria Secret fashion show.
On my birthday, I really just wanted to chill out
and ride Citi bikes with my friends
and just chill at a bar and get drunk, so that's what I did.
I'm wearing a Saks Potts coat and some Yeezy sneakers
and just some Levi jeans.
Kept it really chill.
I actually really loved this day.
This is one of my favorite ways to spend a day,
is just with friends, having fun, laughing a lot
and maybe having some tequila.
Yes.
2019 Met Gala.
The theme was Camp.
It's actually a funny story.
So Kylie had committed to going with Versace
and she came up to me one day and said,
"What if we just went together?
"We haven't done the Met together, let's do it."
And I was like, "You're my sister, of course.
"Let's do it."
Versace had already started doing sketches for Kylie,
so there was already kind of a vibe there,
and I was like, why don't we just riff off
of kind of what you're going for?
We had my sketches,
and I think originally it was just the dress
with a bit of feathers at the bottom,
and that was pretty much it.
The day before the Met, Kylie and I tried our looks on
and she had hers pretty much all dialed in
and I hadn't really felt like I was there yet.
My stylist at the time and I, Marni,
she went in and just drew the feathers out and said,
"Versace, can you make this happen overnight?"
And they did and they executed and they did such a good job.
You would've never thought that this wing that I had on
was made literally overnight
with the amount of detail that they had put into it.
It turned out great.
My hair and makeup team, Jen Atkin and Mary Phillips,
they killed it and I think we just hit it
so on exactly what we wanted it to be.
Yeah, it was just, it all came together so nicely.
Okay, 2020 Halloween was this one.
I don't know exactly what year this was.
Kylie and I just loved this photo.
It would pop up on the internet,
we would see it all the time.
We look so uncomfortable
and we just love how awkward the photo is
that we were like, "We have to recreate this."
And so we had a costume designer
remake the looks in a more mature way
and we had so much fun.
We were like, this is so funny.
So then we kind of had, we have the bracelet.
So we have the whole thing.
We went down to the littlest details,
made sure we stood really awkward and everything,
so it was a funny moment.
We loved it though.
September Met Gala.
This was Givenchy by Matt Williams.
Matt Williams was my date.
One of my idols, biggest inspirations is Audrey Hepburn.
She always wore Givenchy.
That was her thing.
In most of her movies and just anywhere she really went,
she was in Givenchy.
I was like, "Let's do our version
"of something that maybe she's worn",
and we pulled a whole mood board together.
We probably picked
our top three or four favorites from Audrey,
sent them over to Matt,
and he went to work with all of his sketches
and came back with a couple different options
and it just turned out perfectly.
It was extremely heavy.
I won't lie, I wasn't the most comfortable person all night,
but it was so worth it.
Everyone is in that big giant room together at their tables,
so you kind of peep around and you'll see your friends
and you'll head over and you'll say hi,
but definitely the bathroom, you just end up there
and you end up talking all night long in the bathroom.
So it's a funny place for sure.
You would love to be a fly on the wall in that room.
He also made me my after party look,
and that was also inspired by Audrey.
She had this beautiful moment
where she's walking down the stairs in this red dress
with this kind of cape thing behind her,
so we did our iteration of that in a short version
and he made it really practical for me
'cause it had this big puff and a cape on the back
and we made it so it buttoned on.
So once I got into the party
and I wasn't annoying for everyone to walk around,
we just popped it right off and it was perfect.
It went into my car.
This was the Prada show.
My first time walking Prada, working with Prada.
They made my hair red, which was really cool.
I was really excited about it.
I was really nervous about it very much so damaging my hair
'cause the blonde did, and this did not.
My hair was very well preserved.
It was such a fun fun change, a fun moment,
and I loved my outfit.
This coat, I mean, come on, is so good.
It's Prada, it's great, obviously.
This was in Paris.
I was walking to go meet my friends.
This feels like me.
If I could wear one outfit for the rest of my life,
it would be something along the lines of this outfit.
These boots I bought, they're vintage, just a vintage find.
Kind of cowboy-ish vibe, super comfortable.
I found them, I think, at a vintage store in London
with Luca, who's in this photo.
I love his advice.
He has very good advice.
My stylist, Danny, and I have been working with each other
for a few years now.
We love the classic 90s girl.
We look at a lot of Kate Moss.
I mean, even a lot of Jane Birkin.
But I think the 90s girl is really kind of our space,
the simple, very minimal girl.
Jeans and a T-shirt and keeping it really, really chill.
You guys, I miss my red hair
and I don't know what to do about it.
I went back too soon, but if I'm being honest with you,
it was hard.
If anyone has fake red hair,
you know there's a lot of maintenance to it.
I'm definitely going back one day.
Disclaimer, I'm going back 'cause I loved it.
And I look back at photos like this
and I'm like, we miss it.
So, whatever.
2022, once again.
This is in Portofino.
We were there for my sister's wedding.
I am in original vintage Dolce and Gabbana, head to toe.
A version of this was worn by Monica Baluchi in 1997
at the Cannes Film Festival.
So I felt super honored to be able to wear it,
and it was just so cool.
I loved this look.
It just felt like it fit me and I was really comfortable.
The material was super stretchy and comfy.
We did not match on purpose.
It just happened.
We just walked out and we were like, this is great.
I think so much of evolving in the fashion industry
is really just, I think people look best
in what they feel most comfortable in
and what feels the most like you.
So I think, within this book, what I see the most,
at least 'cause I'm looking at myself
is just my comfort level and me just evolving into myself.
I look back at even just the first little girl that we saw
and how uncomfortable she was.
Even to the girl in 2014 at the Met Gala
and still just how uncomfortable she is.
And then coming into this girl, who's just a lot more.
I've found myself as a woman,
I'm a lot more comfortable with myself.
I have so much work that has to be done for sure.
I am not perfect nor am I ever going to be.
It's cool to see.
And that is it.
That was My Life in Looks.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
I love you guys.
I love you Vogue.
Yeah, I hope you enjoyed.
